Matt LaFleur: We installed our offense and threw everything at Jordan Love
With Aaron Rodgers holding out, Jordan Love was the No. 1 quarterback at the Packers’ minicamp this week, and coach Matt LaFleur says Love wasn’t being coddled.

Which team in the NFC will be the biggest threat to the Buccaneers?
The trade that sent receiver Julio Jones from Atlanta to Tennessee makes the Titans better. It also makes the top of the AFC more competitive.

Packers need to do whatever they can to support Jordan Love
He struggled on Tuesday. He thrived on Wednesday. The Packers need to be sure that the latter happens more often.

If the Aaron Rodgers situation is “fixable,” why hasn’t it been fixed?
Former Aaron Rodgers teammates, led by James Jones, continue to say that the situation between Rodgers and the Packers is “fixable.” Fine. So why hasn’t it been fixed?
