Reports surfaced early this month that the Raiders could play a preseason game in Canada Womens Aaron Ripkowski Jersey , and the Packers have confirmed that they’ve talked about the logistics of being the Raiders’ opponent in that game. But first the NFL would have to find a venue.That venue will apparently not be Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan, home of the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. Although the stadium has been discussed as a logical site for an NFL preseason game north of the border, CBC News reported today that the stadium won’t be available.The issue appears to be that the NFL was looking at a date one day before a Roughriders home game Womens Bart Starr Jersey , and that wouldn’t be enough time to get the stadium ready for the CFL game.If the NFL goes through with a preseason game in Canada, Winnipeg appears to be the most likely home city.The NFL used to play multiple “American Bowl” preseason games overseas each year, but popularity of those games waned and they were discontinued.

Teams that go on lavish spending sprees in free agency often not only hurt the team’s short term health but also long term as well.While the Packers definitely should be in a “win now” mode with franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers at 35 years old, general manager Brian Gutekunst would be wise to not gamble his team’s future too much at the expense of the present.Take a look at the New Orleans Saints Dave Robinson Jersey White , who were in salary cap hell for a good chunk of time after winning Super Bowl XLIV. Drew Brees’ prime was wasted on very mediocre teams until the last few seasons when he was 39 and 40 years old.Green Bay can’t make that mistake retooling the roster for the final five-ish years of Rodgers’ career. Gutekunst’s best bet is to build a team that can carry his quarterback, not vice versa, much like the Denver Broncos did in John Elway’s final playing years. That means adding talented but not overpriced free agents and hitting on a few drafts. If this sounds familiar, it should. The problem is that a young GM like Gutekunst might be too tempted to make a big hit in free agency to prove to his team Womens Dean Lowry Jersey , fans and quarterback he means business and that could jeopardize the long term stability of the team.Don’t do it, Gutey.
