Rodgers get 'smeared', Eagles sign a QB. (NFL)

          It seems that the Aaron Rodgers/Mike McCarthy saga is still very far from being over., as Rodgers himself has now gone on record refuting claims from former teammates about what has been going on in the Packers organization in the last several years. Rodgers labelled this recent controversy as a "smear attack by a writer looking to advance his career by talking with mostly irrelevant, bitter players who all have an agenda."

          Rodgers has been called a 'prima donna' as of late, as stories of his preferential treatment by former head coach Mike McCarthy and upper management have been made public. Even though Rodgers has pretty much branded all of this talk as garbage, I firmly believe there is a lot more substance to this than meets the eye. Too many former players have been relating the same experiences, and it can't easily be ignored. With new information being presented that paints McCarthy in a more negative light, and you have the basis for something more than just a couple of disgruntled teammates with an axe to grind.

          This story has also been given some serious time on top-rate sports shows, and the reactions on Twitter and other social media platforms has been tremendous as of late. We probably still won't get the full picture, and Rodgers is not going to spill the beans so as to not damage his own image any more than it already is. 

          Perez to the Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles have been the latest NFL team to sign a higher-profile ex-AAF player, bringing quarterback Luis Perez into the fold. Perez played in the AAF's truncated season with the Birmingham Iron, throwing for 1.395 yards over seven games, with 5 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He finished the season with a low 67.9 passer rating.

          I personally managed to watch a few of the Iron's games where Perez started. His first couple of starts were horrendous, throwing most of his interceptions in those games, and looking more like a fish out of water. He did improve over the next few games, throwing better, and engineering some excellent drives to help his team. That being said, his decision-making process isn't a very good one, and he lacks the downfield vision that other quarterbacks seem to have. I have no doubt that he will third on the Eagles' depth chart, behind Carson Wentz and whoever else will be backing him up. 

          Then again, Perez could be cut in training camp or preseason. No one knows for sure.
