Former NFL WR Chad Johnson to fight on Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Logan Paul undercard
A six-time Pro Bowler, Johnson spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals, played one year with the New England Patriots and was cut by the Miami Dolphins during training camp in 2012. From 2008 to 2012, Johnson was known as Chad Ochocinco. Chad Johnson is planning to trade in his cleats for boxing gloves next month. Johnson has agreed to fight in an exhibition bout on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Logan Paul on June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, Mayweather's promotion team told ESPN on Monday. It's likely to be a four- or six-round exhibition bout and the opponent has not been finalized yet. The expectation is Johnson, 43, will face another celebrity or athlete rather than a pro boxer. Johnson first discussed the exhibition bout on the "I AM ATHLETE" podcast Monday with former NFL players Brandon Marshall, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor. Johnson, a Miami native, jumped at the opportunity when approached by Mayweather's manager Leonard Ellerbe about being a part of this card. Johnson trained for years at Mayweather's boxing club in the offseason when he was an NFL player and has long been a combat sports fan, but this will be his first big stage exhibition fight.

What's gone wrong between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers?
The Thread: What's gone wrong between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers?
The date was Aug. 30, 2018 one day after Aaron Rodgers signed a record contract extension worth $134 million with the Green Bay Packers that ran through the 2023 season. That day was largely celebratory on the part of the quarterback and the team, except for one ominous remark: "I don't think this guarantees anything other than maybe the first three years of the deal," Rodgers said. Three years later, Rodgers and the Packers have reached that point. And neither side is in a good place. Now, coming off an MVP season, the third of his career. The balance of power has seemingly shifted back to Rodgers, who had this to say on the day his extension was announced: "I want to go out and prove that I'm still an elite player in this league, and if I do that then I'll feel good. I've got the opportunity to finish my career in Green Bay, but I'm definitely not arrogant in the mindset that it would never happen to me. It happened to [Brett Favre], it can happen to any of us." Here's a look at the events, from that point until now, that have brought Rodgers and the Packers to the brink of separation:

WR Marqise Lee waived by San Francisco 49ers after signing Monday
The San Francisco 49ers waived veteran wide receiver Marqise Lee on Friday, four days after they signed him to a one-year contract. Lee had received the contract Monday after trying out last weekend at the 49ers' rookie minicamp, where he caught passes from rookie quarterback Trey Lance on Friday during the portion of practice open to the media. The 29-year-old wide receiver opted out of the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic after signing with the New England Patriots as a free agent. The Patriots released him in March. Lee, a 2014 second-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, has 174 catches for 2,184 yards and eight touchdowns in 59 career games.
