Packers submit an amended Tush Push proposal that impacts Green Bay more than Philadelphia
Packers submit an amended Tush Push proposal that impacts Green Bay more than Philadelphia The Packers submit a revised proposal to ban the tush push play ahead of the Spring League Meeting that'll impact Green Bay more than Philadelphia
The Packers have taken their pettiness to a whole new level, and this latest decision could impact the Green Bay offense and every other team in the NFL.
NFL owners will again meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to vote on the Tush Push proposal. They expect to have enough votes this time. Green Bay continues to push the narrative, and according to Adam Schefter, submitted an amended proposal that'll impact them more than the Eagles.
The Eagles have come under fire for utilize a standard quarterback sneak that incorporates lining up two players behind Jalen Hurts, who receives the snap, uses his powerful legs (600-pound squat), with the push of his two fellow Eagles from behind, attempts to gain the necessary yardage for a fresh set of downs or a touchdown.
The play has been so incredibly effective for the Eagles that Hurts finished in a tie for the fifth-most rushing touchdowns (14) in 2024, and he's halfway to 100 (55 rushing scores) after just four whole years as a starter.
According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, 16 of the 24 necessary teams needed to pass voted to ban the play, and rather than complete the vote, the league pushed it back.
Green Bay's proposal to prohibit the play has focused on two main reasons: Player safety and the pace of play. ESPN reports no injury data to support the ban, rather a hypothetical conversation centered on potential injuries.
The Packers' amended proposal will now penalize Green Bay and other teams when they help push or pull their own players in the end zone or ahead for a first down.
Now, another vote will happen.

Vic Fangio: Good news is Jalen Carter played well and can still improve a lot
Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter has made a big impact in his first two NFL seasons, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio thinks there's plenty of upside left for the 2023 first-round pick. Carter was a second-team All-Pro after recording 42 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the regular season and he had two more sacks and a forced fumble in the team's playoff win over the Rams. During a press conference this week, Fangio was asked his thoughts about what the future holds for Carter. 'The good news about Jalen is twofold,' Fangio said, via a transcript from the team. 'One, he played very well for us last year, and two, he can still improve a lot.' Carter isn't arguing with that assessment. Carter mentioned Chris Jones and Dexter Lawrence while discussing the best defensive tackles in the league and said his goal is to reach that level as well. 'This is what I wanted to do,' Carter said, via Dave Zangaro of 'I wanted to be the best at what I do, try to be the best. I'm not there yet. I still got a lot of people in front of me that's obviously been in the league a couple [more] years, got years of experience on me. But I'm just going to keep grinding every day. Not just me by myself working on specific things to get better, just being around the team having the guys support me also makes me also be one of the best in the league.' Repeating as Super Bowl champions is difficult, but it'll be a little easier if Carter can continue ascending as rapidly as he has the last two years.

Aaron Rodgers signs reported 1-year, $13.65 million contract with Steelers, including $10 million guaranteed
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are officially official. On Saturday, the veteran quarterback went to the Steelers' practice facility to sign a one-year deal with the team, per multiple reports. The contract is worth $13.65 million, with $10 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. With incentives, which include playing time and team performance, the contract is worth up to $19.5 million. Rodgers, after a long offseason full of hints, finally ended the speculation earlier this week by agreeing to a short-term deal with Pittsburgh. The four-time NFL MVP will now put on a Steelers uniform as the end of his career winds down. Advertisement Rodgers' move to Pittsburgh came after two disappointing years with the New York Jets. As New York went through a coaching and GM change this offseason, Rodgers was informed that the Jets were moving on without him. In the weeks since, Rodgers had been weighing whether to retire or to keep playing, though the Steelers staff seemed optimistic that Rodgers would join in the offseason. Rodgers' commitment to the Steelers sets up a handful of exciting matchups in the 2025 season, including an early matchup against the Jets, and another matchup against his other former team, the Green Bay Packers.

Aaron Rodgers's one-year deal is worth up to $19.5 million
The numbers are in. And, to no surprise, quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't be playing for only $10 million this year. Even though he said he would. Via Adam Schefter of it's a one-year deal with a maximum value of $19.5 million. The base amount is $13.65 million, with $10 million guaranteed. And, of course, only $10 million is guaranteed so Mr. Yeah I've Been Immunized can claim he said he'd play for $10 million, and he's playing for $10 million. He's not. He's playing for $13.65 million plus incentives. The full base amount is guaranteed as a practical matter. As of Week 1, any non-guaranteed salary becomes fully guaranteed under the labor deal. Which means that the only way he gets only $10 million is if he's cut before Week 1. Which will not happen. The deal has $5.85 million in playtime and team performance incentives. Without having the specifics (and we'll eventually get them), it's hard to know how easy or hard it is to get to $19.5 million. Still, the deal makes him the second lowest paid starting quarterback on a non-rookie deal. Only Giants quarterback Russell Wilson is making less. Technically, Wilson could make more. But he'd have to hit all of his incentives, which include the Giants going 17-0. We'd be willing to bet $19.5 million that the Steelers won't need to go 17-0 to get Rodgers to $19.5 million.
