Bourne clears $2.8 mill
- Packers and Raiders interested
- "I trust that they'll be in the mix on certain guys that they like," Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show. "As always, it comes down to need price cost of those certain players, but I know Brian's going to do what's best for our football team and if he feels like adding a guy or two to the mix, then I'm sure he's going to try and make that happen."
Nelson Agholor - $9million cap hit

HEADLINES with The OBVIOUS ONE
The Boston Celtics opened the 2022 season with a win against the 76ers.
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum scored 35 points each. Good enough for the 2nd highest point total for a Celtics opener. 2nd only to Jaylen Brown's 45 point night last season.
This just in, the Jays are good.
This also just in, Embid's a bitch
The Patriots came out a Cleveland with a win and the chills. Zappe Fever is setting in. The rookie threw for over 300 yards and 2 TDs in the 38 - 15 win.
Bill Belichick moved to 2nd all time in wins for a Head Coach in the NFL with George Halas.
The Patriots take on the ever dangerous and "devastating" ankle injury waiting to happen N'Keal Harry and the Chicago Browns on Monday Night Football.
Troy Aikman will look to remove his foot from his mouth before Joe Buck and Justin Fields put us to sleep.
But, who will be behind center for the Patriots. Reports from multiple sources have this slated as Mac Jones' return, but Belichick has yet to name the starter.
The Bruins dropped their back to back against Ottawa on Tuesday night. They also have yet to play defense.
Jeremy Swayman allowed 40 goals before getting yanked in the 2nd period

AFTERNOON DELIGHT
NFL Owners Royal Rumble
Jerry Jones: "dont fuck with me"
Robert Kraft "Excuse me"
Jerry Jones "Nothing master"
NFL Owners vote 31 - 1
According to ESPN's Seth Wickersham, NFL owners voted 31-1 to permit their compensation committee to open negotiations on a new contract with Goodell. Kraft was one of the 31 owners in support of the measure while Jones was the lone dissenter.
Colts owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday there are “potentially” 24 votes to remove Dan Snyder as co-owner of the Commanders.
“I believe there is merit to removing him as owner of the [Commanders],” he said, adding that he believes “it’s in the best interest of the National Football League.” However, he said there won’t be a vote Tuesday. It would take votes from 24 of the 32 owners to vote Snyder out.
An ESPN report also claims that Snyder threatened to ‘blow up’ Jerry Jones and several NFL owners, as well as commissioner Roger Goodell and that he exists among the hate-driven “mafia” of owners. … all causing Snyder to allegedly say, ‘They can’t F with me.”
Jerry Jones recently told confidants that he "might not be able" to protect Snyder any longer. Snyder has also "badmouthed" Jones, telling an owner recently, "he's only out to get in your pocket. He'll sell you down the river. You can't trust him," a senior executive close to the owner said. "Snyder's already lost Jerry," the source added.
How long until. Snyder is out?
How long until Jerry is out?
SIMPLEST MINDS OF THE WEEK
Rookie Brendan Schooler snubbed by Belichick
“It’s always exciting for guys to make plays and exciting for all of us,” said Belichick, while laughing. “We’re happy when we make them. But yeah, just gotta move on. Go to the next play.”
He also gave him a hand shake after the game
Tom Brady is in the Military
“I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment in the military. And it’s like, ‘Man, here I go again. There’s only one way to do it.’” He continued, “Whenever you may say, ‘Oh man, I want to make sure I spend a little more time doing this,’ your competitiveness takes over. And as much as you want to have this playful balance with the work balance, you’re going to end up doing exactly what you’ve always done. Which is why you are who you are. You’re going to go, ‘How do I get it done?’ You know, ‘What do I got to do to get it done?’”
Cam'ron shoots his shot
“Hey stink. I was giving you some time to yourself till I reached out,” Killa Cam wrote. “Your perseverance as a strong black woman through this turbulent time has been something to behold.”
“You shouldn’t be taken advantage of and exploited as you did nothing to deserve this,” Cam’ron added in his messages. “Especially all over these sports networks. You’re bigger and better then [sic] that.”
“You’re a queen, and by the way I’m a king. Together we can achieve the greatness we were both destine for as a couple,” the rapper continued. “As I sit here sipping gazpacho and watching ‘the best man’ I was inspired to reach out, because that’s what I am the best man for you!! Hope to hear from you soon my Mi- amor or should I say ‘Ni-amour.”
Cam’ron revealed she has yet to respond.
