2022 NFL Draft insider notes: Here's how Jason La Canfora sees the top 10 picks playing out

It's draft week! Almost Christmas! Are you counting down the hours?. Of course you are. Why wouldn't you be? It's also a week of great derision and scorn for those of us in the NFL Football Media, as we publish in many cases final mock drafts … and in some cases, one-and-only mock drafts. I fall into that category. We do it once and then we live with the consequences forever. And it's almost time to publish the annual exercise in (mostly) futility -- that'll happen Thursday morning.

Jason La Canfora: Miami Dolphins Brian Flores is on the hot seat

If you listen to the dribble that comes out of the mainstream media sometimes, you need to be checked out. The latest is Brian Flores on the hot seat. The Miami Dolphins made Brian Flores a head coach for the first time in 2019. They gave him a fully guaranteed five-year contract and last year, he led his team to ten wins and narrowly missed the playoffs but that hasn’t stopped one media guy from saying that Flores is on the hot seat.

CBS sports insider Jason La Canfora generated rankings for the NFL’s seven new head coaches in 2021, and his metrics were ownership, front office, roster, and recent history. His reasoning of development and rosters being vital is fair, but the rest of his criteria seems unnecessary; even more importantly, his rankings don’t abide by his own measures.

It seems as though anyone who has ever even heard about the game of football has an opinion on the Aaron Rodgers saga. The opinions range from plugged-in insiders to Rodgers’ inner circle to extremely frustrated fans. It’s hard to tell which, if any, of them carry any weight. But when a high-end NFL expert lays into an organization in extreme detail and puts their reputation on the line, you can bet there’s some smoke to that fire.

Jason La Canfora Names Panthers a "Logical Landing Spot" for Aaron Rodgers

The thought of Aaron Rodgers in any other jersey than Green Bay doesn't seem right but the same could be said about Tom Brady before he left New England for Tampa Bay. The Packers and Rodgers are at a standstill at the moment as Rodgers has stated that he no longer wants to play for the organization while the Packers have insisted on keeping him a part of their plans for 2021 and beyond. There has been tension building over the last several months but the Packers have made several roster moves over the years that have frustrated the franchise quarterback.
