Former Arizona Cardinals 1st-round pick Isaiah Simmons joins Packers
The Arizona Cardinals traded Isaiah Simmons to the New York Giants before the 2023 season after he had played three seasons in the NFL after they made him the No. 8 overall pick in 2020.
He has a new time.

After two seasons with the Giants, Simmons signed a one-year deal to join the Green Bay Packers.
Simmons has not been the star he wanted to be. Playing for a bad Giants team, in 2024, he played in a career-low 181 defensive snaps. He played in all 17 games last season for Simons, logging 21 total tackles, two pass breakups and an interception.
We will see how the Packers view him. When he was drafted, he played inside linebacker. He was moved to safety in 2023 before he was traded. He went back to playing multiple positions for the Giants.
The Cardinals will face the Packers at home, so Simmons, assuming he makes the team, will have a revenge game at State Farm Stadium.

Machado and Padres rally to beat Giants in 10 innings again, 3-2
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Manny Machado had four hits, including a two-run single that tied the score with two outs in the ninth inning, and Jake Cronenworth drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th as the San Diego Padres rallied past the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Tuesday night. One day after winning the series opener 1-0 in 10 innings, the Padres needed extras again. Giants closer Camilo Doval walked Fernando Tatis Jr. and Luis Arraez with two outs in the ninth to load the bases for Machado, who finished 4 for 4. Spencer Bivens (1-2) retired the first two batters in the 10th before Cronenworth hit a grounder past diving first baseman Casey Schmitt to score automatic runner Jackson Merrill from third. Yuki Matsui (1-1) pitched a perfect ninth and Jeremiah Estrada got three quick outs for his second save. With a runner at third base after a sacrifice bunt, Estrada retired Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee on grounders to shortstop end it. Ramos provided San Francisco's lone highlight at the plate with his 11th home run, but it wasn't enough to lift the Giants out of their offensive funk. The Giants have scored four runs or fewer in 16 consecutive games, their second-longest such streak since moving to San Francisco in 1958. Giants starter Landen Roupp allowed four hits in 6 1/3 shutout innings. ___ AP MLB:

Steve Wright, Packers Super Bowl champion whose likeness was used on iconic NFL trophy, dead at 82
Steve Wright, a three-time NFL champion with the Packers whose likeness was used on the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year trophy, died on Sunday in Alabama, the team announced Tuesday. He was 82. Born in Kentucky in 1942, Wright was a tackle at the University of Alabama under legendary coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant from 1961-63, winning a national title during his sophomore year. Robert Brown, Ron Kosteinik and Steve Wright (72) of the Packers look on against the Raiders during Super Bowl II on Jan. 14, 1968 at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Getty Images Even though he did not start a game with the Crimson Tide, Wright was drafted by the Packers in the fifth round of the 1964 NFL Draft and eighth round of the AFL draft by the Jets, ultimately signing with Green Bay. He played 56 games over the next four seasons, starting in 13, as the Packers won the NFL title in 1965 and Super Bowls I and II the following two seasons. He then played two seasons in New York with the Giants before single-season stints with Washington, the Bears and the Cardinals. But it was in 1969 as a member of Big Blue that Wright truly became part of NFL lore forever. That's when he was used by artist Daniel Bennett Schwartz as the model for a statue called 'The Gladiator,' which became the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year trophy. Cam Heyward receives the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award before the Chiefs' win over the 49er in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas. Getty Images Wright's likeness, with the cape around his shoulders, is still used as the trophy for the yearly award. In 1974, two years after his NFL career was over, the lineman came out with a memoir entitled 'I'd rather be Wright: Memoirs of an Itinerant Tackle,' which gave a 'fly-on-the-wall look' at life in the NFL in the 1960s and early '70s. The Packers' social media team succinctly summed up Wright's NFL legacy. 'A quiet legacy, cast in bronze,' the team wrote on X.
