Media types are busy trying to find value in what they're saying out here. This is the time of year where their viewership starts to dwindle. Most of them know that a huge percentage of those who no longer follow them will never return. They'll do whatever it takes to insure they lose as few of their audience as they can, and attract new followers as well.
For them, it's time to sacrifice the vestal virgins at the altar, to insure they maintain relevance. Any story, no matter how remotely possible to being true, or even a figment of their own imagination based on reading tea leaves is worth creating a sensational headline, then raving on about the subject.
Look at some of the articles; "The Packers need to snag one of these 5 TEs who are available, to make them a powerhouse!"
Then they will list five TEs who are marginal for someone else, but the writer figures will be a hot shot under LaFleur, with Rodgers at QB. Of course they're blowing smoke, because most of the guys they list are pedestrian at best. Their descriptions are either pure BS, or at least inflated, to fit the narrative. But face it. Packer fans will read the article, if for no other reason than to see if there really is someone out there in their list, who could help them improve in their passing game.
We need to take everything we read with a grain of salt. If all these ideas were good ones, or if even any of them are, the Packers are on it, and chances are, we'd be hearing about it.
I'll start my own "rumor" now. Has anyone heard about how Rodgers has bought a Lamborghini that he intends giving to Julio Jones if he signs with the Packers? Neither have I, but what the heck. Spread the news! My guess is that he'd give Julio a set of great golf clubs. That's a total guess.
