Patriots Legend Rob Gronkowski Tees Off On Bill Belichick After Report
Rob Gronkowski is not exactly one to take the moral when it comes to dating women, as the future Hall of Fame tight end was known as quite the party-boy back in his playing days for the New England Patriots.
However, after the seemingly unending news cycle concerning his former coach, Bill Belichick, and Belichick's new paramour, Jordon Hudson, even Gronk felt comfortable to chip in.

Speaking to radio hosts Fred Toucher and Rob Hardy of the "Toucher and Hardy" on 985 The Sports Hub, Gronkowski revealed his thoughts on the latest updates in the Belichick/Hudson saga, after reports that Hudson had been barred from the UNC football practice facility, something that UNC subsequently denied.

After being asked whether the 4 x All-Pro found the situation funny, Gronkowski replied, "It is, you know. And back of your head too you're just thinking to yourself as well: when you were on the Patriots, the whole goal was to eliminate all the distractions that can possibly happen while you are on the team."
"And don't bring those distractions to the team and in the locker room. And we're just looking down at the program in North Carolina and it feels like there are just distractions 24-7 down there; there is no football talk as well."

The 4 x Super Bowl champion also noted that he was looking forward to football season and watching how the team played when they get on the field for real in August.
As for Belichick, if you are getting clowned by Gronkowski - even jokingly, things are probably not looking good.

Steelers reportedly preferred Matthew Stafford trade over Aaron Rodgers signing
Steelers reportedly preferred Matthew Stafford trade over Aaron Rodgers signing The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, but he wasn't their preferred choice. The team reportedly prioritized trading for Matthew Stafford or re-signing Justin Fields before Rodgers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Stafford was a hot commodity over the offseason when the Rams allowed his representation to talk with other teams about a deal. He was connected to the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders mostly before he re-signed with the Rams. Now, it sounds like the Steelers were in on Stafford, too. Coincidentally, Rodgers was reportedly interested in the Rams if Stafford left. While it's unclear if the sentiments were mutual between team and player, there was the off-chance Rodgers would have moved to L.A. to join Sean McVay while Stafford played elsewhere. Ultimately, though, Stafford remains with the Rams in pursuit of another Super Bowl. The team added Davante Adams as well to upgrade the offense, which should keep Stafford happy for a while, as Adams and Puka Nacua form one of the best one-two receiver tandems in the NFL.

Steelers Could Make Huge Splash With Former Aaron Rodgers Teammate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to be a legitimate contender during the upcoming 2025 NFL season. With Aaron Rodgers now onboard, there are major expectations for the team this year. Now that Rodgers has signed with the Steelers, the team should go all-in on winning this season. He's on a one-year deal, which could mean that the team has a one-year window to win a championship. Keeping that in mind, there is a new potential move that has come available for Pittsburgh to make a big splash to improve their chances of contending for a Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets looks on prior to playing the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium on December 28, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Read more: Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Has Chance at Massive NFL Milestone Jacob Camenker of USA Today has named Pittsburgh as one of the top potential landing spots for recently released and former Green Bay Packers star cornerback Jaire Alexander. "The Steelers are loading up for a potential Super Bowl run after signing Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal. Could they target Alexander, his former teammate, to help provide depth and talent at cornerback?" Camenker wrote. "Pittsburgh already added two veteran corners to its roster during the offseason in Darius Slay and Brandin Echols, but at this stage in his career, Alexander is better than both. The Steelers could consider signing him and having him split playing time with the 34-year-old Slay to keep both healthy long-term." Alexander has had injury issues that have derailed his career. He has played in just seven games in each of the last two seasons. However, the numbers that he produced in just seven games last season show the amount of talent that he possesses. He racked up 16 tackles, a fumble recovery, two interceptions, a defensive touchdown, and seven defended passes. Read more: Bills Attempted to Pull Off Major Trade With Packers: Report Taking a low-risk, potentially sky high reward on Alexander would be well worth it for the Steelers. At the very worst, the team could just move on from him following the 2025 season. Should things work out, Alexander would take the Pittsburgh defense to the next level. His playmaking would be a welcome addition, and his sticky coverage would be valuable in an AFC North division with high-powered offenses. It may not be something the Steelers are interested in, but Alexander would make a lot of sense as a late offseason target. For more Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
