Let me tell you something, Pac Nation, Malik Willis is the starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins.

He earned that job. The man stepped up when Jordan Love went down, won games we had no business

winning, and he got paid like a starter because that is what he became. I said goodbye. I meant it.

Good luck, Malik. But it is now April, Pack Nation, weeks from the draft, and I am staring at

back immediately. Most think the number lands somewhere between 20 and 25 million. For Pittsburgh, because he is their quarterback. He is not

available. But even if he were somehow available, no, Aaron Rogers is 42 years old. He has a
