Aaron Rodgers once said it takes “a career, a lifetime, to build up a reputation, and only one misstep for it all to crumble” and now that idea is going to be put to the test.
Rodgers has decided to continue his NFL career. And Rodgers wants to play for the New York Jets.
In recent days the quarterback has shown his intentions by actually recruiting former Green Bay Packers teammates who are free agents to the Jets and also calling other free agents to try to convince them to also join the team, according to a league source.

It sounds like the PAC-12 might not be done just yet.
The west coast conference is fighting to survive amid an inability to land a new media deal. Without one getting secured relatively soon, the conference could face complete collapse with the Big 12 waiting to raid it.
While the outlook has been pretty poor for months, University of Arizona president Robert Robbins dropped some comments that could help calm the choppy waters of the PAC-12.

Let’s get even weirder than usual, March.
Before we get into the nitty gritty here, allow me to say that I’ve never felt less confident about a bracket. I went into this endeavor with zero clue who I was going to pick to win the national title, and once I arrived at my Final Four, I realized that I had serious issues with all four of the options I had left myself with.
And that’s why this bracket is destined to succeed.

Now let me try and justify why I think this is going to be one of the wildest NCAA tournaments in history.

Tampa Bay adds the former No. 1 pick as their potential starting quarterback in 2023.
The Buccaneers have their new starting quarterback, signing Baker Mayfield to a one-year, $8.5 million contract. It’s a prove-it deal for the former No. 1 overall pick, who will have now played for four teams in the last three years.
Mayfield had a solid rookie season, posting a rookie record 27 touchdown passes and averaging 17.2 fantasy points per game. Unfortunately, it’s been all downhill since then. In fact, he’s failed to average more than 15.

March 29, 2023 is set to be a big day for the future of college sports and the landscape of NIL. The Congressional House Energy and Commerce Committee scheduled a hearing on the Name, Image and Likeness rights of collegiate athletes later this month.

The committee spokesperson did not provide any additional information about who might be asked to testify at the hearing.

The wide receiver didn’t appear to be too pleased.
Following the news the Eagles will reportedly release cornerback Darius Slay, star wide receiver A.J. Brown appeared to respond to the decision on social media. 
Slay’s camp and Philadelphia’s front office were unsuccessful in renegotiating his contract, and the five-time Pro Bowler is now set to hit free agency. Brown didn’t seem too pleased with the decision, as minutes after the report surfaced, the Eagles wideout posted a GIF of an exasperated Jonah Hill on his Twitter account.

The former Bears running back stays in the NFC North with the move to Detroit.
The first big-name free agent running back is off the board, as the Lions have signed David Montgomery to a three-year, $18 million deal. He’ll take over the role Jamaal Williams thrived in last year, as he scored a franchise-best 17 touchdowns.
Montgomery is coming off a subpar season in the stat sheets, posting 891 rushing yards, six total touchdowns and 177.7 fantasy points. That was good enough for him to finish as the RB24.

NASCAR issued point penalties, suspensions and fines to each of Hendrick Motorsports’ four teams for infractions at Phoenix.

The Jets continue to attract Aaron Rodgers’ by signing his former Green Bay teammates.
The Jets have signed veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard to a four-year, $44 million contract. The move appears to coincide with the Jets pursuit of Aaron Rodgers, Lazard’s teammate in Green Bay, though a trade has still not been announced. 
(Yes, we’re all waiting Aaron)!
Lazard is coming off a 2022 season that saw him finish as the WR34, posting 60 receptions for 788 yards and six touchdowns. He also averaged a career-high 52.5 yards and 11.

Tampa Bay appears to have found the successor to Tom Brady.
The Buccaneers are reportedly close to bringing aboard the successor to Tom Brady: former No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield. 
Tampa is finalizing a deal with Mayfield, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, paving the way for the 27-year-old to become the team’s starting quarterback in 2023. Mayfield will not be able to officially sign the deal until the new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
Pelissero reports that Mayfield and the Bucs reached an agreement on a one-year deal, worth up to $8.5 million.
