Why the Green Bay Packers should trade for Terry McLaurin

If the Washington Commanders are trading wide receiver Terry McLaurin, the Green Bay Packers could stand to benefit from Terry’s bevy of talents. 

Davante Adams left Green Bay in search of greener pastures, and he found them with the Las Vegas Raiders. Aaron Rodgers also got what he wanted in the lucrative deal he inked to remain in Green Bay, yet still, there’s something the Packers weren’t able to buy: someone to replace Adams.

Tyreek Hill already made his move to the Miami Dolphins, and high-caliber NFL wideouts aren’t exactly easy to come by. The Packers are notoriously dormant when it comes to splashy offseason acquisitions, but here’s a solid one that makes too much sense: trade for Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

It remains to be seen whether or not McLaurin will leave D.C., but as of now, he’s holding out from mandatory minicamp as he negotiates for a better contract. And McLaurin deserves it, too: despite being the only part of the Commanders offense that’s truly worked in the last three years, McLaurin has only been paid about $2 million for his contributions. McLaurin is slated to earn a total of $4 million by the end of the season, but it’s not enough — and the Packers to could capitalize on this divide.

Why the Commanders should trade Terry McLaurin to the Green Bay Packers

McLaurin would elevate a Chiefs offense without Tyreek Hill, and that’s with a roster that boasts former Packers wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling. With Adams gone and Rodgers in town to cement his Hall of Fame legacy, the wide receiver situation is a cause for concern in Wisconsin.

Sammy Watkins joins his fifth NFL team after a 394-yard season with Baltimore, and the veteran roster doesn’t improve much after that. Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb remain, and the Packers invested their second-round pick on Christian Watson, an enticing NFL legacy add. Watson is expected to shine, but none of this is guaranteed to cover for the league-leading target share that Davante Adams boasted while in Green Bay. Scrapping together several receivers isn’t going to have the same impact as the Rodgers connection with Adams — but connecting with Terry McLaurin just might.

According to NFL.com data analyst Cynthia Frelund, McLaurin is “the most underrated receiver in the entire league.”

Why?

“McLaurin earned the third most yards of separation on all routes run in 2021, per computer vision. His ability to run the complete route tree has led to him compiling the fifth most yards on in-breaking routes (angle, in, cross, post, slant) and the 11th most on deep passes since entering the league,” per Frelund.

The Packers need someone to compliment Rodgers the way Adams did during two MVP seasons, and McLaurin needs to be paired with a generational talent who can bring out the best in his game. Everyone’s a winner in this trade — even the Commanders stand to gain if they trade McLaurin and continue revamping their entire franchise.

Davante Adams-Aaron Rodgers relationship goes deeper than Packers bond

There was been much ado about the relationship between Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers, but it seems the former Green Bay Packers teammates remain friends.

Even though Davante Adams left Green Bay to play with his best friend on his childhood team, it’s a decision that still stings for Packers fans.

Adams has confirmed that the Raiders offered him less money than the Packers, and considering that both Adams and Rodgers were quiet after Adams left, it’s easy to fill in the silence with assumptions. Rodgers has made it clear in recent seasons that he wants to play in Green Bay his way, and Adams was an integral part of that. According to Sharp Football Analysis, Adams was second among all NFL receivers in target share in 2021, and he led the league in target share over the past four years at 27.6 percent.

But Adams’ and Rodgers’ friendship seems to extend beyond football. Over the weekend, Adams and Rodgers posted a photo together as the two went golfing.

Two days before their golf outing, Adams indicated that it was not knowing whether or not Aaron Rodgers would remain in Green Bay that became a “big factor” in his decision to leave.

But Adams also said that the talent level between Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers is “really similar,” demonstrating loyalty to both past and present quarterbacks.

With a flurry of what can be perceived as mixed messages, one thing is clear: Davante Adams still has a great deal of respect for Aaron Rodgers.

Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers remain close friends beyond Packers

In all of his comments, Adams hasn’t said anything to malign Rodgers. Being asked to compare Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers put Adams in a difficult position, but saying that the two are comparable isn’t such a stretch: they are both NFL starting quarterbacks, and at that elite level, the difference in talent is marginal. Rodgers is considered a Hall of Fame quarterback at this point, and Adams has offered plenty of glowing praise about Rodgers in the past. Saying they’re similar isn’t intended to undervalue Rodgers, but it illustrates the belief Adams maintains in both quarterbacks.

Speaking of belief, it wasn’t an insult for Adams to be honest about his uncertainty about Rodgers. Rodgers kept Green Bay on edge for over a year with his decision, even teasing potential retirement after he won his fourth NFL MVP Award this February.

If Adams wasn’t in the room and had to make a decision for himself and his family’s future, it makes sense that he would choose the path that led to Las Vegas.

Although the two haven’t posted much about each other publicly, Adams has made it clear that privately, the dynamic quarterback-wide receiver duo have remained close friends.

“We talked throughout the whole process, and he was aware of where I stood, and I was aware of where he stood,” Adams said. “We’ve had a lot of good talks. He understands where I’m coming from, I understand where he was coming from, so we just kind of left it at that.”

Rodgers only has a few years left in his NFL career, while Adams is only 29 years old. To make the most of his NFL career, Adams had to leave Green Bay — but their friendship hasn’t suffered for it.

‘Shut up and move on’

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown makes a grand proclamation about himself, while trying to assert his dominance over a Tennessee Titans fan on Twitter.

Nobody thinks A.J. Brown is the greatest wide receiver in Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans history more than the new Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver himself.

Admittedly, it was a great three-year run for the former Ole Miss standout in Nashville, but the dude did not even make it an olympiad in the Music City. In fact, all three players who orchestrated the Home Run Throwback to Music City Miracle the Buffalo Bills were better Titans that Brown (Lorenzo Neal to Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson, who could ever forget?). Feelings are still hurt.

Here is Brown going after a Titans fan proclaiming he is the best thing ever happen to the Titans through the air in their robust 60-plus years as a professional football franchise.

“For the love of God, I was the best receiver to play for your franchise. Shut up and move on. You mad at the wrong person,” tweeted Brown at a Titans fan who was still mad that he bailed on some kids at a camp.

A.J. Brown really showed this Tennessee Titans fan on Twitter, alright

Look. Here is to nothing but the very best for Brown and his new team. The 2022 Eagles are going to be awesome. They cannot only win the NFC East, but could get to a conference title bout if all goes their way this fall. No doubt about it, he is a hall-of-fame talent at the peak of his powers, but three years in Nashville does not give him the right to say he is the Titans’ best wideout ever.

In his 43 career games for the Titans, Brown had 185 catches for 2,995 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. Had he replicated that over three more seasons, sure, but here is where he ranks all time in Oilers/Titans lore: 111th in games played, 19th in receptions, 16th in yardage and 12th in touchdowns. Charley Hennigan, Ernest Givins, Derrick Mason and others would all like a word…

Ultimately, all involved with the Eagles and Titans need to move on from this. Both teams are expected to do big things. However, each has at least one team in-division they are competing for a crown with. Philadelphia will battle the Dallas Cowboys for NFC East supremacy this fall, while Tennessee hopes to keep the Indianapolis Colts from overtaking them in the AFC South standings.

Brown should absolutely channel his inner Lane Kiffin and just be done with Tennessee in general.

Mac Jones’ deep throws show potential for a more explosive Patriots attack – NFL Nation

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:

1. Mac’s deep ball: Spring practices are the appetizer to the main menu, and quarterback Mac Jones and the Patriots’ offense provided a tasty preview of what they hope to be cooking in 2022.

The main takeaway: There is potential for significant improvement in the deep passing game.

Jones delivered three downfield, tight-window throws in the final practice of mandatory minicamp that couldn’t have been placed any better.

There was a high-arc ball down the left sideline to receiver Nelson Agholor, who had rookie cornerback Jack Jones running stride-for-stride with him on a “go” route, so close that Jones was tugging his jersey as the ball arrived.

Montgomery enters contract year
Kupp signs megadeal wearing Stafford jersey
Bills pass rushers learn from NFL’s best
CFL star keeps football dreams alive
Dallas coach wants Parsons to ‘be elite’

Then a deep right-to-left crossing route to tight end Jonnu Smith, who hardly appeared open with safety Kyle Dugger in his back pocket, but made a diving catch.

And finally, a 50-yard bomb down the middle to receiver Tre Nixon, who somehow pinned the drop-in-the-bucket throw to his chest with his right hand, as cornerback Jonathan Jones was all over him. Jones seemed stunned at the completion based on his coverage.

They were plays that sparked celebrations from the offense, and veteran safety Devin McCourty referenced them as “haymakers” — great throws and catches against top coverage.

McCourty said the way the offense and defense traded “big-time shots” against each other this spring, with neither side dominating, is the type of sign he looks for when assessing the potential of a complete team.

Specific to the offense, success in the deep passing game could be the missing piece to becoming a complete attack.

Consider these nuggets from last season, via ESPN Stats & Information:

  • 41% of Jones’ pass attempts thrown at least 20 yards downfield were over- or underthrown last season, an off-target mark that ranked 21st in the NFL (league average 36%).

  • Jones ranked 24th with a 38.8% completion rate on vertical routes last season according to NFL Next Gen Stats. His completion percentage above expectation on those throws was -4.5% (26th out of 31 qualified QBs).

  • Jones had his most completions 20-plus yards downfield to receiver Jakobi Meyers (7-of-16), but struggled to connect with Agholor (4-of-17, 0 TD, 2 INT).

  • Patriots receivers ranked 25th with only 1.6 yards of separation on deep balls per NFL Next Gen Stats.

Jones felt “good strides” were made in practice this spring, but stressed that the work must continue.

“We want to be able to do whatever we want to do at any given time, whether that’s a run, pass, play-action — short, medium, or long. We’re trying to be able to have a little bit of variety,” he said.

2. Rookie hustle: In 2003, when safety Rodney Harrison signed with the Patriots as a free agent, he was practicing at a different tempo and popped receiver Troy Brown on one play. Nearly 20 years later, a parallel could be drawn to Patriots first-round pick Cole Strange, as on the final play of practice Tuesday, the guard got tangled up with outside linebacker Matthew Judon after a pack of players were around a loose football, and there was shouting on the field.

No hard feelings from Judon, who later highlighted something others around the Patriots have said of Strange — he’s always full-throttle (which was a Harrison staple).

“If you saw him, he was sprinting from 30 yards away,” Judon said. “Great hustle from him.”

3. Eyes on Nixon: Nixon, a practice squad receiver (seventh round, 2021, Central Florida), made two of the most impressive plays this spring, so now the question is if he can carry that momentum into training camp and make a charge for a roster spot. Agholor raved about him (“I don’t think there is anybody that trains as hard”), and Mac Jones explained that his connection with Nixon extends beyond the field. They used to drive to the stadium together last season, take their COVID-19 tests, and then enter the building with each other.

4. Kendrick’s cake: Receiver Kendrick Bourne was given an excused absence for the first practice of mandatory minicamp as part of his wedding celebration, and the team surprised him with a cake upon his return. It’s a moment that reflects the camaraderie and chemistry that can be developed at this time on the NFL calendar.

Check out some of the best plays from Arizona State’s Jack Jones as he gears up for the NFL draft.

5. Draft report: First impressions of the Patriots’ 2022 class:

  • G Cole Strange (first round): Plug-and-play starter at left guard

  • WR Tyquan Thornton (second): Speed as advertised; work as a gunner could be his ticket to land on the 46-man game-day roster

  • DB Marcus Jones (third): Still in a red non-contact jersey (shoulders); projects as a returner and sub defender

  • CB Jack Jones (fourth): Sticky coverage on the outside; curious to see if he can make a push to start after looking the part

  • RB Pierre Strong Jr. (fourth): Got a look as a kickoff returner, where speed stood out

  • QB Bailey Zappe (fourth): Work ethic not in question; usually one of the last players to leave the field

  • RB Kevin Harris (sixth): Got an earful from special teams coordinator Cam Achord for a blocking miscue on a kickoff return

  • DT Sam Roberts (sixth): Tough to judge much at his position without pads and full contact

  • OL Chasen Hines/Andrew Stueber (sixth/seventh): Did not practice

6. Rookie value: If Jack Jones emerges as a contributor after finishing strong in spring practices, it would highlight the financial value of receiving contributions from those playing on rookie contracts. Jones’ deal that he signed Thursday includes a $746,984 signing bonus (paid in two installments) and base salaries of $705,000, $870,000, $985,000 and $1.1 million. So his cap charges are just $891,746, $1.05 million, $1.1 million and $1.2 million.

7. Fight On! As Jack Jones was answering questions from reporters last week, Agholor interrupted by calling out “Fight On!” It was a reference to USC’s fight song, as Agholor came out of the school in 2015 and Jones began his career there in 2016 before finishing up at Arizona State. They had a few notable battles on the Patriots’ practice field in recent weeks and then shared smiles about their Trojan ties afterward. “I knew Nelly before I got up here; I used to see him around SC,” Jones said. “I love competing with him. We make each other better.”

8. Belichick and Banda: Coach Bill Belichick has been hands-on with the offense, but in the team’s final minicamp practice, he was noticeably hands-off. He spent the majority of the workout twirling his whistle on the sideline and talking with Utah State defensive coordinator/safeties coach Ephraim Banda. Belichick’s time is valuable and the extended chat with Banda had me wondering more about his background and what might have piqued Belichick’s interest.

9. Health check: Defensive tackle Byron Cowart and rookie offensive linemen Hines and Stueber are among those to monitor medically when the Patriots return for training camp in late July. They haven’t practiced this spring, making them candidates for the physically unable to perform list if they don’t make strides in the next month. Meyers, running back James White, rookie defensive back Marcus Jones and tight ends Dalton Keene and Hunter Henry were limited, so they have some ground to make up as well.

10. Did you know? Receiver DeVante Parker, who hauled in a deep pass from Mac Jones last week while leaping over cornerback Jalen Mills, has the most receptions on tight-window throws in the NFL over the past five seasons (69), according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Julio Jones (63) and Mike Williams (62) are next on the list. Tight-window throws are defined as less than a yard of separation as the pass arrives.

Jack Del Rio deletes Twitter account after controversial Jan. 6 comments

After calling the Jan. 6 a “dust-up,” Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has deleted his Twitter account.

The Washington Commanders had yet another controversy on their hands thanks to defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. After tweeting out a take comparing the Jan. 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol to the George Floyd protests, Del Rio doubled down on it, calling the attack in Washington D.C. a “dust-up.”

Days after posting a statement of apology for the “dust-up” comment and being fined $100,000 by the team, Del Rio’s Twitter account is now non-existent as of June 11.

Jack Del Rio deletes Twitter account after calling Jan. 6 a ‘dust-up’

You can now add this to the list of other debacles the Commanders have dealt with since Feb. 2 this year — when they changed their team name to put their tumultuous past behind them.

Spoiler alert: It’s a long list.

The controversy surrounding Del Rio began with the aforementioned tweet ahead of the Jan. 6 Committee’s first public hearing. The defensive coordinator wrote “why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed.” He then made the “dust-up” comment while speaking with the media during Washington’s minicamp.

Hours later, Del Rio apologized for calling the insurrection a “dust-up,” writing that his choice of words were “irresponsible and negligent.”

He then learned that “freedom of speech” does not mean you are free from consequences for said speech.

On Friday, June 10, the Commanders released a statement announcing that Del Rio had been fined $100,000 for his comments and that the money would go to the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund. Head coach Ron Rivera said in the statement that he was “disappointed” by his assistant coach’s comments and called the attack on the Capitol “an act of domestic terrorism.” You can read the full statement in the Commanders’ tweet below.

The attack on the Capitol was an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election in hopes of keeping Donald Trump in office, who lost the presidential election to Joe Biden in Nov. 2020. Lives were lost and over 140 police officers were injured as a result of the attack. Hence, there are public hearings investigating what took place on and leading up to Jan. 6, 2021.

After a week in the news, Del Rio decided to delete his Twitter account altogether.

Tyreek Hill reveals where drama with Chiefs all began

During the debut episode of his new podcast, receiver Tyreek Hill revealed when exactly things went sour with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs no longer have wide receiver Tyreek Hill on the roster. After failed contract negotiations, both parties opted to part ways, leading to his trade to the Miami Dolphins. But where did things really go south?

As it turns out, that occurred early on in the 2021 season, Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens to be specific. Here is what was said, via Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

“The problems, from Hill’s perspective, arose during the 2021 season. Hill started regularly texting [Drew] Rosenhaus about Hill’s frustrations, beginning after Hill went from having 11 catches for 197 yards in the season-opening win over the Browns to getting only three catches for 14 yards in a 36-35 loss to the Ravens, on just four targets.”

Issues between Tyreek Hill, Chiefs began after loss to Ravens last season

Those four targets were not the lowest Hill had received in a game last season. That distinction belongs to Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he caught all two of his targets for 19 yards.

Hill finished the 2021 regular-season catching 111-of-159 targets for 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns.

In this very podcast, Hill revealed that he spoke with head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes regarding his contract situation. Rosenhaus spoke with general manager Brett Veach about receiving a similar deal as what Davante Adams received from the Las Vegas Raiders (five-year, $140 million). Hill then said that he only wanted a deal that would pay him $25-26 million annually.

Ultimately, both sides could not agree on a deal, and he was traded to the Dolphins, where he received a four-year, $120 million contract.

The podcast was noteworthy to say the least, especially since he covered a variety of topics, including who he prefers between Mahomes and Tua Tagovailoa.

Tyreek Hill is starting to sell Tua Tagovailoa’s as better than Patrick Mahomes

Tyreek Hill made it abundantly clear that new Miami Dolphins teammate Tua Tagovailoa throws a more accurate football than his former Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes; he is not wrong either.

During an episode of his new podcast, It Needed To Be Said, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill hit Kansas City Chiefs fans where it hurts by saying he prefers Tua Tagovailoa’s accuracy over Patrick Mahomes’.

Chiefs Kingdom may be falling to pieces over this comment, but sometimes, the truth hurts. To be totally transparent, Mahomes is and always will be the better overall passer, but keep in mind what Tagovailoa’s two greatest strengths are as a quarterback: Accuracy and how he conducts himself at the podium. Mahomes’ accuracy is only a tick off what Tagovailoa normally registers at.

Here is Hill saying what had to be said to podcast partner Julius Collins about this dirty little secret.

Tyreek Hill: Tua Tagovailoa is a more accurate passer than Patrick Mahomes

Hill’s comments were all about where he prefers to receive the football: Right in the breadbasket. Tagovailoa has plenty of faults as an NFL quarterback, but he throws a beautiful spiral and can usually put it exactly where he wants to. Mahomes crushes him in most other quarterbacking attributes, which is why he is a future hall of famer and Tagovailoa could become a failed starter.

To back up Hill’s claim, Tagovailoa was a more accurate passer than Mahomes last year (67.8 to 66.3 percent) and ever so slightly better in their NFL careers (66.2 to 66.1 percent). If we want to take that a step further, Tagovailoa blew Mahomes out of the water in college. He left Alabama averaging a 69.3-percent clip, while Mahomes was only a 63.5-percent passer at Texas Tech.

On the basis of strictly accuracy, Hill is 100 percent correct in saying Tagovailoa is better than Mahomes. Too bad football games are not won and lost based entirely on accuracy. It is based on grit, mental toughness and all sorts of other intangibles, not to mention arm talent, mobility and durability. Tagovailoa can become a fine quarterback, but Mahomes is an all-time passing talent.

Hill is the type of player who can make this statistic even more noticeable with his Dolphins play.

Raiders set sights on next contract extension after Hunter Renfrow

After signing receiver Hunter Renfrow to a contract extension, the Las Vegas Raiders already have one player who is a priority to re-sign.

This has been a week where wide receivers got paid. The Los Angeles Rams signed Super Bowl 56 MVP to a three-year, $80 million contract extension. Then on Friday, June 10, the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with Hunter Renfrow on a two-year, $32 million deal.

With one of their top offensive players now locked under contract for an additional two years, who could be the next player to receive an extension?

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN points out that tight end Darren Waller is expected to be a priority, while also mentioning that the team has talked about a new deal with linebacker Denzel Perryman is entering the final year of his deal.

Who is next to receive contract extension from Raiders?

Since joining the Raiders in 2018, Waller has become one of the top players at his position. Back in 2019, Waller signed a four-year, $29.8 million contract with the Raiders. He has two more seasons remaining before he is a free agent.

This past season, Waller caught 55-of-93 targets for 665 yards and two touchdowns through 11 games. In his four years with the Raiders, the tight end recorded 258 receptions for 3,081 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Perryman was acquired by Las Vegas just ahead of the 2021 season, and he turned out to be a great addition, as he made the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. He is entering the final season of his two-year, $6 million deal that he signed with the Carolina Panthers.

In his one season with Las Vegas, Perryman recorded 154 total tackles, three defended passes, two fumble recoveries and one fumble recovery through 15 games. In coverage, Perryman allowed 63 receptions for 511 yards and five touchdowns on 80 targets, per Pro Football Reference.

The Raiders are looking to build off of their 2021 season by locking in some of the stars on their team. When it comes to who is next to get an extension, keep an eye on Waller and Perryman.

Mac Jones earns rave reviews from teammates ahead of Year 2

New England Patriots wide receivers are praising quarterback Mac Jones’ arm strength in minicamp.

After Tom Brady left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, the New England Patriots went on a search to find his successor. In the spring of 2021, they used their first-round selection on Alabama’s Mac Jones, who was coming off of a National Championship win. Jones showed promise in his rookie season, but did not exactly light up the stat sheet.

During New England’s mandatory minicamp, Jones is earning some rave reviews from his teammates as he prepares to enter his second NFL season. Some of those players are wide receivers Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor.

Mac Jones impresses teammates during Patriots minicamp

“He’s a year better,” said wide receiver Nelson Agholor, h/t Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal. “Working hard every day. He does a great job communicating, always working to be the best version of himself. I’m grateful to have him as a quarterback.”

One area that has earned rave reviews from teammates and media in attendance is Jones’ arm strength, which was an area of concern during his rookie campaign. Just take a look at one of Jones’ throws to receiver Tre Nixon in practice, courtesy of Khari Thompson of WEEI.

Jones won the starting quarterback job through training camp over veteran Cam Newton, and he made the most of his opportunity as a rookie. Through the full regular-season, Jones completed 67.6-percent of his passes for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He earned a Pro Bowl nomination and finished second in AP Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.

The Patriots went 10-7 to clinch a Wild Card berth, earning a first-round matchup in the playoffs against the rival Buffalo Bills. Buffalo blew out New England 47-17. Jones completed 24-of-38 pass attempts for 232 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Patriots fans have to love what they are hearing about Jones’ improvements through the offseason. But, they want to see it translate on the field during the regular-season. So, let’s come back to this once we are well into the regular season.

Aaron Rodgers’ rumored new girlfriend Blu refutes claims that she’s a witch

Aaron Rodgers has reportedly found a new girlfriend, Blu, but she wants to set the record straight about some rumors that started immediately circulating.

If you thought the perceived results of Aaron Rodgers‘ now-kaput relationship with Shailene Woodley were wild for a back-to-back NFL MVP, then go ahead and buckle in for his newest love interest.

On Thursday, reports began pouring in that Rodgers is now dating a woman named Blu. The rumor mill then began turning furiously that not only did she go by “Blu of Earth” but that she also identified as a witch and healer.

Naturally, this type of news sent social media and the internet at large into a frenzy with jokes, copious numbers of questions, and so on. However, Blu took to social media on Thursday evening to set the record straight about who she is and what she’s about — namely, that she’s not a witch.

Aaron Rodgers’ girlfriend Blu makes it clear she’s not a witch

Blu took to Instagram to clear some things up. First, her name is just Blu and the “of Earth” portion is simply part of her social media handle. More importantly, though, she mocked the notion that she was a witch, denying as much.

Now that we have that cleared up, though, it should be noted that Blu does still appear to be quite an enigmatic presence.

She is the founder of Florescence, a company she describes as a “modern mystery school for women to reclaim the magical, radically authentic, wise, wild, unapologetic you” on her Instagram page, while also hosting a podcast as well.

As for Rodgers, he’s yet to confirm, deny, or remotely speak on these new reports about his love life. However, for Blu to take to her social media page to give the facts, you have to believe there’s some truth to it.
