LaFleur Brothers Tease a Me-And-My-Brother Showdown at Packers-Cardinals Joint Practices

Matt LaFleur jokingly proposed that if tensions flare during Packers-Cardinals joint practices, he and his brother Mike could tag in for a “throw down on the 50,” highlighting a lighthearted approach as the two teams prepare for their preseason clash; Matt is entering his eighth season with Green Bay, while Mike is in his first year with Arizona, and both say the dynamic has been healthy as they aim to get good work in ahead of Friday night’s game.

Beck Shines in Hall of Fame Game as LaFleur Sees Practice Consistency

Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck starred in the Hall of Fame Game, finishing 15-of-19 for 188 yards with a 96-yard opening drive and a later 60-yard drive, plus long connections to Jalen Brooks. Head coach Mike LaFleur said the performance mirrors what he sees in practice, while Jacoby Brissett remains the starter for now; Beck’s strong preseason play could bolster his case as the quarterback of the future.

Rodgers Says 2026 Will Be His Last NFL Run

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says the 2026 season will be his final NFL campaign, a decision influenced by the team hiring former Packers coach Mike LaFleur and after he briefly considered retirement last year before his wife encouraged one more season. At 42, he would become the eighth player to reach 22 NFL seasons, though teammate D.K. Metcalf doubts whether he’ll stick to that plan. Rodgers cites a healthier 2026, reunions with LaFleur, and a potential final playoff run after Pittsburgh’s AFC North title last season, with a preseason opener Aug. 13 vs. the Packers and the regular-season opener Sept. 13 vs. the Falcons.

Brissett contract clears the way for Cardinals to focus on football, LaFleur says

Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s new deal sets a base salary of $15.5 million and positions him as the likely starter for the 2026 season. Coach Mike LaFleur said the contract resolution removes distractions and lets the team focus on football, though he did not guarantee Brissett as the Week 1 starter; Brissett missed voluntary offseason work and will be relied upon for his experience to help install the offense.

LaFleur plays down Sweat’s minicamp absence

Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat attended the mandatory minicamp but did not participate in drills; coach Mike LaFleur said he isn’t worried about Sweat at all, noting Sweat has long worked on his own offseason program. Sweat, who led the team with 12 sacks last season after signing a four-year, $76.4 million deal, has been the subject of trade rumors, though Arizona reportedly has no plans to trade him.

Rodgers and the Cardinals: A Conditional Fit in a High-Rertical Gamble

The piece weighs the case for Aaron Rodgers with the Arizona Cardinals, noting strong ties (Hackett as OC, LaFleur as head coach) and the team’s quarterback uncertainty, but also the Cardinals’ tough division and schedule, meaning a Rodgers move could be sensible in one sense and ill-advised in another; as of now there’s no clear interest from either side.
