Neither Alex Smith or Julian Edelman are HOF'ers. I hate to sound like a grouch, but here's my take.

Edelman only had three 1,000 seasons, would have been four if he had 28 more yards in 2014. Not once he was invited to the Pro Bowl. He wasn't a top tier receivers like Calvin Johnson, Odell Beckham Jr, Antonio Brown, AJ Green, and so on. Now in the playoffs, he was very productive, thanks to the leadership of Tom Brady when he was there. Besides Gronk, he was one of the go-to guys to catch the ball when you need him. He's put up 1,442 yards, 118 receptions in those playoff runs. I think he's only memorable for his playoff runs than the regular season IMO.

For Smith, I think his career lagged at the beginning from his rookie season, until he had moderate success in 2011 and went to the Chiefs a couple seasons later. He was terrific in KC, putting up better numbers and had receivers around him. He was invited to three Pro Bowls with the team. Then he was traded to Washington, where he suffered not only a career threatening injury, but a life threatening one. His comeback last season was remarkable, with the hell he went through, to get back to the game he loved. I think his retirement was the best decision. He can't afford to get hurt anymore, especially after those injuries. He still had a good career, but his career was not exactly as memorable as it should have been.

I agree about Smith.

But Edelman I think could have a case for him. He’s not a first ballot HOFer, but I think after a few years for sure. He didn’t even play WR in college, so to change to that in the pros and do what he done is pretty impressive to me.

The Bengals got new uniforms:

Please ignore the Tide ad at the beginning and skip to the 15 second mark for the start of the video.

I think the new unis look cleaner and simplistic than the other ones. The orange jerseys sort of reminds me of the Bears alternative ones. I like these better than the recent ones.

Sources: Rodgers doesn't want to return to Pack

MVP Aaron Rodgers is so upset with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN.

Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN on Thursday.

The Packers are aware of his feelings, concerned about them and have had team president Mark Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur each fly out on separate trips to meet with Rodgers at various points this offseason, sources told ESPN.

"As we've stated since the season ended, we are committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond," Gutekunst told ESPN. "Aaron has been a vital part of our success and we look forward to competing for another championship with him leading our team."

Rodgers has not budged this offseason, but neither have the Packers, who have made it known they are not interested in trading Rodgers anywhere.

The San Francisco 49ers called the Packers on Wednesday night, a source told ESPN, and the Los Angeles Rams inquired about Rodgers in January before they traded for Matthew Stafford.

The Packers quickly dismissed the Rams' overtures, the source said.

The Packers have offered to extend Rodgers' contract, sources told ESPN.

Rodgers is unhappy for a variety of reasons, with some of it dating back to last year's draft when the Packers didn't inform him before trading up to draft a quarterback with their first-round pick. Some took this as a sign that his days in Green Bay could he numbered.

He also is at a different point in his personal life, having recently gotten engaged to actress Shailene Woodley. Rodgers also has hosted "Jeopardy!" and said it would be a dream to become the full-time host. He could play football and also host "Jeopardy!"

Rodgers has made cryptic comments about his future in Green Bay, but he has told others that he does not want to return.

On draft night, the Packers' biggest issue isn't who they land, but whether they can keep the three-time NFL MVP.

Rodgers' contract contained a $6.8 million roster bonus due in March. It could have been converted into a signing bonus that would have freed up more than $4.5 million in salary-cap space for this season but instead it "vested as scheduled," a source told ESPN at the time. It's listed as an automatic conversion in Rodgers' contract, but even that has to be signed off on by both parties. It's not known if the Packers tried to convert and Rodgers refused to sign off on it, or if they did not attempt a conversion.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky contributed to this report.

Spicy news here he was upset last Offseason Draft Time with the Drafting of Love and it seems he's had enough of the organization. I wonder if winning and getting to the SB will change this attitude and it doesn't reach it I imagine he finds somehow to leave Green Bay next Offseason.

It looks like he wants out immediately.
