Aaron Rodgers: Issue with Green Bay Packers about philosophy, not Jordan Love
Rodgers, 37, is coming off his third MVP award. He believes by playing so well last year when he led the Packers to a 13-3 record and a berth in the NFC Championship Game for the second straight season, he altered the Packers' plans to move on from him.

Ranking the best and worst NFL offseasons of 2021
Let's finish up ranking the 32 NFL teams based on the work they did over the 2021 offseason. I did the bottom half of the league last week, he teams that had the worst offseasons which means it's time for 1-16. This encapsulates both free agency and the draft and measures what each team did versus our expectations heading into the offseason. As an example, we knew heading into the spring that the New Orleans Saints were going to need to create nearly $100 million in cap space. My thoughts here aren't about the circumstances that led the Saints to be in that situation, but how they did over the past few months given those conditions. An impressive offseason might not mean much in the grand scheme of things, but as a reminder, i did this exercise lasr year. The team that I thought had the best offseason a year ago did pretty well during the regular season and even better during the playoffs: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the offseason, then the Super Bowl and might have had the best summer in 2021, too.

Miami Dolphins reach three-year, $39 million extension with LB Jerome Baker
The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with linebacker Jerome Baker on a three-year contract extension worth $39 million, including $28.4 million guaranteed, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Dolphins later announced the extension but did not disclose financial terms.Baker is one of the Dolphins' defensive leaders and brings energy on and off the field. He specializes in pass coverage, and helped the Dolphins grow from the worst scoring defense (30.9 points per game allowed) in 2019 to the fifth-ranked scoring defense (21.1) in 2020. A 2018 third-round pick, Baker was approaching the final year of his rookie deal. He was asked last week about his pending free agency and where he saw Miami in the picture. It was a foreshadowing of this deal. Baker had a career-high seven sacks and seven tackles for loss last season in a new hybrid linebacker role. He also eclipsed 100 tackles (112) for the second consecutive season and has yet to miss a game in his NFL career.

Le'Veon Bell says he'd retire before playing for Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid in social media post
The Chiefs showed no interest in re-signing running back LeVeon Bell, and the feeling seems to be mutual. Bell, responding to a comment on Instagram about his time with the Chiefs in 2020, said, "I'd never play for Andy Reid again ... I'd retire first.'' Bell didn't specify his complaint with Reid, the Chiefs' coach. Kansas City signed Bell last year after his release from the New York Jets, but he played sparingly. Bell played in nine games, starting two, and rushed for 254 yards and two touchdowns. He was inactive for the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills and, though he was in uniform, did not play in Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Bell is a free agent but has not signed with any team.

Green Bay Packers 'have one plan' regardless of who plays quarterback, Matt LaFleur says
When the Green Bay Packers return for training camp next month, it will be with one approach. It doesn't matter whether it's Aaron Roggers or Jordan Love at quarterback.The Packers don't know if Rodgers will end his holdout and return to the team after an offseason in which he has stayed away from all team activities. Rodgers hasn't denied any of the reports, which began with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting in April that Rodgers is so disenfranchised that he doesn't want to play for the Packers again. His only public comments indicated his issue is with management. Meanwhile, LaFleur dedicated the offseason to Love, who took the majority of the snaps in OTAs and last week at minicamp.
