@ChiBitCTy. Aaron Rodgers will not go to the Las Vegas Raiders? I always speculated that Las Vegas would be his next team after the Raiders traded for Davante Adams. They might need that type of partnership to bring them to the post season.
Also, it appears Lamar trade to the 49ers speculation is growing. This does not imply that it will be an effortless negotiation, however.
Then you have Lamar Jackson. The Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the former NFL MVP, giving them the right to match any offer from an interested team.
Kawakami believes the 49ers are (or were) intrigued by the possibility. At the very least, they probably haven't dismissed the idea, and the writer doesn't believe they should.
"I checked around myself on Wednesday and was told that the 49ers are looking at everything, as always," Kawakami wrote.
He notes that the 49ers were not included in a list of organizations seemingly ruled out of a potential Jackson sweepstakes—teams like the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Commanders, and Miami Dolphins.Source https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/167559-kawakami-lamar-jackson-49ers-would-nfl-defensive-coordinators/Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Lamar Jackson. I don't think he has the depth of skill to handle Shanahan's system. He can have two, maybe three reads tops and then he's off running. QBs of Jackson's style (historically speaking) aren't durable enough to last a whole season, and the speed of one's legs don't often compensate for the lack of ability to read defenses and progressions. I'm entitled to my opinion.
As for trading for a veteran; I wouldn't doubt if Shanahan feels Trey Lance burning a hole in his pocket. If it were me I wouldn't go for Jackson or Rodgers at this point, I might still want to see what other options come about or simply wait to see if Lance fulfils his draft-day promises.
The Raiders signed Jimmy Garapollo earlier today, so they will definitely not be going after Aaron Rodgers now. The Jets still make too much sense for Rodgers. They’ve got a much better team than the Packers, so he’s improving his situation sizably in my opinion, not sure what the hold up is at this point. I still expect this deal to get done.
I can’t see Lamar going to the Niners. They’ve already got two QBs on the roster they’ve either invested a lot in or have seen a lot from..doesn’t make sense to me.
I figured that Jimmy G would end up in Vegas, it just makes sense for both him and McDaniels given their history together, and Garoppolo's experience within McDaniels' system. Despite his fragility, I think that Garoppolo will be a significant upgrade over Derek Carr.
Yeah Jimmy G made sense for the Raiders, but I'd still have tried my hardest to get Rodgers, who's 10x better. Jimmy G is a very solid game manger, but he's just that..a game manger. He's never going to be the reason you win a Championship...Rodgers would/could be. Just my 2.

Welp the jets just landed lazard and Rodgers publicly said if he goes to the jets he wants them to pick up lazard so I'd say that's a done deal.
My giants scooped up Darren waller for a 3rd round pick. Just hope the dude can stay on the field. If so that would be a huge plus in their passing game but that's a huge if.
Love how football season just keeps going. Up next month draft mania lol.
I saw that with the Giants, congrats, that's a huge pickup. I can't believe the Raiders let him go. What a bunch of fools. They have ZERO change at winning shit now IMO..they needed both Waller and Adams to catch balls. Now they can double up on Adams easier.
Yeah it's only a matter of time before Rodgers signs with the Jets. I think he's on Pat McAfee show tomorrow and I can see him wanting to wait to announce it there, or announce that's the plan but the Packers are holding things up on their end. Either way I think it would be hilarious if he makes the Jets go get all his guys and what not then decides against playing lol. Regardless happy to FINALLY not have a super star HOF QB on the Packers kicking my Bears asses year after year.
