Clay Matthews get Absurd Contract



Terms of the extension weren't disclosed by the team, but a source confirmed to ESPN that the extension is for five years and worth about $65 million in new money, including $31 million guaranteed. Fox Sports had earlier reported terms of the deal. ESPN

Am I the only one that doesn't take Clay Matthews seriously? I think he is a complete gimmick. He does nothing but run at the QB the entire game. Yes he has had 10+ sacks in 3 of his 4 years in the pros, but for a linebacker he is pretty finesse. I guarantee you that in the next couple of years his sacks will decline and he will become more irrelevant. I just don't understand how you can make a guy the highest paid linebacker in the NFL if all he has to show is person stats while leading the packers to a bottom 5 defense every year.

Whatever, once Aaron Rodgers selfish contract comes out the Packers will be fucked for years.

Steelers To Sign Bradshaw?


This move would make a lot of sense. The Steelers need some RB help, and Bradshaw could be a cheap option (because of injury history) with high upside. Honestly, the Steelers are kind of a mess right now. They are in salary cap hell, and look to not be close to another Super Bowl run. Yet, the biggest thing with the Steelers is they just need to find a way to stay healthy. Every year it seems like they are missing half their team, so maybe if they get lucky and guys stay on the field they will be better than I think.

Another team that is supposedly in the running for Bradshaw is the Green Bay Packers. That also makes sense for all the same reasons as the Steelers.

Donald Driver Retires


After 14 years in the NFL, I have decided to retire. It's been an amazing journey, thank you for all of your love and support! #Packer4Life

Driver knew his days in Green Bay were numbered, and he didn't want to play for another team. Guy is a class act to the high degree, and is so loved in Green Bay. It's amazing they already have a statue of him there. You don't see that very often.

Driver is a three-time Pro Bowler and leaves as the Packers's all-time receiver with 743 receptions to go with a franchise-high 10,137 yards and 61 touchdowns. In a time when a lot of players have a "yea, but" somewhere in this history, Driver to my knowledge has had no off the field problems, and has been known for his incredible charity work.

I really can't see how anyone wouldn't like this guy.
