Injuries set off a domino effect that left fans baffled. Here are four reasons Boston hasn’t gone off the rails (yet).

Bill Belichick doesn’t need to find the next Tom Brady, but he needs to hit on multiple difference-makers to avoid a sorry end to a legendary career.

With the NFL draft just days away, there’s been a significant shift in mock drafts across the media landscape and one NFL star called out the falling stock of one top prospect.
Cowboys outside linebacker Micah Parsons took to Twitter on Tuesday and commented on a video where ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III expressed his confusion as to why Ohio State’s CJ Stroud is someone who isn’t a lock in the first two picks of Thursday’s draft. 
“It’s no coincidence! They did the same thing with Justin fields!” Parsons said on Twitter.

The Green Bay Packers got more for quarterback Aaron Rodgers than most thought they would. That’s true. People assumed that the Packers had no choice but to acquiesce Rodgers’ demand to go to New York, but that wasn’t exactly true. But to say the Packers “fleeced” the Jets, like ESPN’s Robert Griffin III (RGIII) did, is a bit over-the-top.
Sports media discuss trade “winners and losers” relative to expectations. The expectation was that the Packers needed to get rid of Rodgers and would take what they could get from the Jets.

Brady Allen has entered the transfer portal. It’s déjà vu all over again.
The 19-year-old was in this exact same position just four months ago. His decision to return to the portal is the perfect example of the new reality within college football.
Allen, a four-star recruit in the Class of 2022, was Indiana’s Mr. Football in 2021 and chose to stay home and play for Purdue. He committed to the Boilermakers in July before his junior year and stuck with his decision over offers from Cincinnati, Indiana, Kansas, Rutgers, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

At least 18 Colorado players since Saturday said they were entering the transfer portal to leave coach Deion Sanders.

The defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Colorado Avalanche, are having a bit of a tough time with the Seattle Kraken. Now, things just got a little bit tougher with news that their No. 1 defenseman Cale Makar has been suspended 1 game for a hit on Seattle’s Jared McCann.
It happened in Game 4 of the Kraken and Avalanche’s first-round series. McCann fired a shot on net and peeled off into the corner where Makar delivered a bone-crunching hit. Of course, it caught the refs’ attention because the puck was nowhere around them when this happened.

What does it take to ‘win-now’ in the NFL?
The Jets actually did it. After months of consternation and encroaching feeling that a trade might not happen, New York finally landed Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. It wasn’t the steal they probably hoped, giving up what will be tantamount to a first and second round pick for Rodgers, but if it means the Jets are able to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in the next two years then nobody will care that they overpaid for a 39-year-old quarterback.

The Cowboys have the 26th pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The team has been unusually busy this offseason, acquiring both wide receiver Brandin Cooks and cornerback Stephon Gilmore. That, at least in theory, would fill two of the positions the team might have focused its attention on with their first-round choice.
One of the positions Dallas didn’t fill is tight end, where Dalton Schultz left for the Houston Texans. The oddsmakers at SI Sportsbook believe this is the most likely first-round target, as tight end is listed at +200.

Folks in Green Bay wasted absolutely no time in erasing Aaron Rodgers from the city after news of his trade to the New York Jets became official. A mural of the now-former Packers quarterback was replaced just hours after the deal was announced.
Kyle Malzhan of Green Bay’s WFRV news shared a video of the mural being painted over. Malzhan said the Rodgers mural was “replaced,” but erased may be the proper word to use seeing as how it was simply painted over with black paint.
