March Madness is upon us!
Across the next three weeks, 68 teams will compete for the title of National Champion.
If you want to get in on the action, there are plenty of ways to bet on the tournament, but the best odds often come before the tournament even starts.

Soon after the Raiders signed Jimmy Garoppolo to be their starting quarterback, star receiver Davante Adams took to Instagram with a strange message.

The wide receiver is signed in Las Vegas for another four years.
The Raiders are set to acquire their new starting quarterback, agreeing to terms with Jimmy Garoppolo on a three-year deal to reunite him with Josh McDaniels. However, not everyone with the team seems happy about the move.
Wide Receiver Davante Adams, who was traded to Las Vegas last year in part because he wanted to play with Derek Carr, posted a cryptic message on Instagram potentially hinting at his disapproval of the move – or at least a lack of desire to discuss it with just anyone.

Another new start is in order for the former top-five pick.
The 49ers appear to be making an addition to their crowded quarterback room.
San Francisco has agreed to terms with quarterback Sam Darnold on a one-year contract, according to a Monday afternoon report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Darnold will reportedly join a 49ers roster that includes quarterbacks Trey Lance and Brock Purdy. Lance and Purdy are 22 and 23, respectively, having been drafted in the first and seventh rounds in 2021 and ’22.

The cornerback won a Super Bowl with the team back in the 2020 season.
The Buccaneers are keeping one of their key defenders in town, having reportedly agreed to re-sign star cornerback Jamel Dean, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. 
ESPN’s Adam Schefter indicates that Dean is in agreement with Tampa Bay on a four-year, $52 million deal, coming out to an average annual value of $13 million per season. Jordan Schultz of TheScore reports that Dean will be collecting $26 million in guaranteed money as part of his four-year deal.

The electrifying and often unpredictable road to the Final Four is what has earned this season the moniker of madness.

The saga continues.
Speculation around quarterback Aaron Rodgers’s next moves has run rampant since the Packers‘ season-ending loss to the Lions on Jan. 8.
As the NFL’s legal tampering period opened Monday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shed light on the precise holdup to negotiations over Rodgers’s future: a lack of information from Rodgers himself.
“The Packers are open to trading him. Rodgers has two options: retire or go play for the Jets,” Rapoport said.

The 49ers hope to have Trey Lance and Brock Purdy healthy enough to play at the start of the regular season, but they are adding another experienced starter to the roster in the event that plan has to change.
