Motivation for GB: The Packers would like to use the compensation they get for Rodgers to boost the supporting cast around his replacement Jordan Love. - The Packers have expressed interest in the draft’s offensive line and tight end classes. - There’s some smoke around the team and Northwestern OL Peter Skoronski. Motivation for NYJ: Closing on a deal would allow the Jets to finalize their own draft plans. The team is prioritizing offensive line help for Rodgers. - That could include an offensive tackle in the first round and a center in the second (like Ohio State’s Luke Wypler). Image: Nick Wosika/Icon Sportswire Robinson [Allen Robinson] Steelers finalizing a trade for Rams WR Allen Robinson Details: The Rams will [send]( Robinson and a 2023 seventh-round pick (No. 251) to the Steelers for a slightly higher 2023 seventh-rounder (No. 234). The deal is pending a physical. Contract: The Rams will pay $10.25 million of Robinson’s $15 million salary. Pittsburgh will pay the remaining $5 million. Profile: Robinson was a disappointment in his lone season with the Rams, catching just 33 passes for 339 yards and 3 touchdowns across 10 games. His season ended in Week 12, after sustaining a foot/ankle injury. - The 29-year-old was productive in 2020, catching 102 passes for 1,250 yards and 6 touchdowns with the Bears. Steelers' Fit: Robinson figures to be the Steelers’ WR3, behind Diontae Johnson and emerging star George Pickens. - Kenny Pickett will have some tall weapons in the red zone next season — Pickens (6-3), Robinson (6-3), and tight end Pat Freiermuth (6-5). Rams' WR Depth: The Rams will move forward with Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, Ben Skowornek, and Tutu Atwell. It would not be surprising to see the team select a receiver high in the draft. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Burrow [Joe Burrow] Joe Burrow expected to top Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts in AAV Herbert: Albert Breer thinks Herbert will get his extension done [before]( Burrow. He predicts the deal will come in north of the $51 million per season average that Hurts is getting from the Eagles. - Breer notes that the Chargers and Herbert have agreed to wait until after the draft to resume contract negotiations. Burrow: Breer thinks Burrow, who he calls the most accomplished of the group, has the “best shot” of hitting $55 million annually. Hurts in 2022: 14-1 record, 66.5% completion rate, 4,461 total yards (3,701 passing, 760 rushing), 35 touchdowns (22 passing, 13 rushing), 13 turnovers (6 interceptions, 7 fumbles lost). Herbert in 2022: 10-7 record, 68.2% completion rate, 4,886 total yards (4,739 passing, 147 rushing), 25 touchdowns (all passing), 14 turnovers (10 interceptions, 4 fumbles lost). Burrow in 2022: 12-4 record, 69.3% completion rate, 4,732 total yards (4,457 passing, 257 rushing), 40 touchdowns (35 passing, 5 rushing), 17 turnovers (12 interceptions, 5 fumbles lost). Image: Jeff Moreland/Icon Sportswire Dolphins [Dalvin Cook] Dolphins remain interested in Dalvin Cook Details: According to Barry Jackson (Miami Herald), the Dolphins are “expected to inquire about Cook" if the Vikings release him. - Miami and Minnesota [discussed]( a trade involving Cook earlier in the offseason but couldn’t agree on draft pick compensation. Release? Cook, who has not accepted the Vikings’ request for a pay cut, could get released if the team can’t find a trade partner. - Minnesota ranks last in the NFL in cap space ($1.3 million). - Cook, who has the team’s fourth-highest cap number ($14.1 million), is skipping the Vikings’ voluntary offseason program. Dolphins' Fit: Cook would find lots of room to run in Miami, as opposing defenses get stretched out trying to cover Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Image: Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire WR Run [Jordan Addison] Draft prognosticators believe there will be a run on receivers in the low 20s Details: The [insight]( comes from The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. Receiver-needy teams picking in the 20s include the Chargers (No. 21), Ravens (No. 22), Vikings (No. 23), Giants (No. 25), Cowboys, (No. 26), Bills (No. 27), and Saints (No. 29). - The Ravens and Giants are particularly desperate for receiver help. Tier 1: There are five receiver prospects who could go in the first round — Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Ohio State), Zay Flowers (Boston College), Jordan Addison (USC), Quentin Johnston (TCU), and Jalin Hyatt (Tennessee). Order: Todd McShay expects Smith-Njigba and Flowers to be the first two receivers selected. The order after them will be determined by what teams are looking for stylistically at the position. - Addison is a crisp route runner, Johnston is dangerous after the catch, and Hyatt offers vertical speed. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Sanders [Drew Sanders] Arkansas LB Drew Sanders has gone on Top 30 visits with the Cowboys and Lions Profile: Sanders was one of the most productive defenders in college football last season, totaling 103 tackles, 13.5 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and 1 interception. Unique Athlete: The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder ran a 4.59 in the 40-yard dash and jumped 37” in the vertical. Versatile: Draft analyst Lance Zierlein [calls]( Sanders a “unique linebacker prospect with the physical traits, athleticism, and skill set to be deployed as an inside linebacker or a stand-up edge rusher.” Fit in Dallas: Sanders would give the Cowboys a second hybrid linebacker/edge defender (the other being All-Pro Micah Parsons). His presence on the team would allow Parsons to spend more time rushing the passer. Fit in Detroit: Sanders would upgrade a lackluster linebacking corps in Detroit. He’d play alongside Malcolm Rodriguez (62.8 PFF grade) and Alex Anzalone (59.2 PFF grade).
