NFL Insider Ian Rapoport on Aaron Rodgers saga, Mike Vrabel & Dianna Russini scandal, AJ Brown trade details and other breaking news

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport (@Rapsheet on X) shares intel on the biggest NFL breaking news like the Aaron Rodgers standoff with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will Rodgers re-unite with Mike McCarthy after the two of them won a Super Bowl long ago with the Green Bay Packers? Or will life without Mike Tomlin also include a new quarterback?

Rapoport also takes a deep dive into the impending trade that will send Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Super Bowl runner-up New England Patriots where he will be re-united with Mike Vrabel. How does Brown really feel about Jalen Hurts?

Speaking of Vrabel, what is Rapoport hearing about Vrabel’s job security in the midst of the Page 6 scandal between Vrabel and former NFL Insider of The Athletic Dianna Russini? Will Robert Kraft and Jonathan Kraft stick with Vrabel no matter what or is there a scenario when the Patriots owner would fire the reigning NFL Coach of the Year?

Rapoport then discusses what’s next for free agent wide receivers Stefon Diggs, Deebo Samuel and Tyreek Hill, why the San Francisco 49ers still have Brandon Aiyuk on the roster and does Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens want to be traded? Rapsheet discusses more free agents like Taylor Decker, Joey Bosa and others before giving his Super Bowl prediction.

Rapoport also talks about teaming up with ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter before trying to answer an impossible NFL trivia question.
