If you’re not hyperactive on social media, you probably don’t know Rickey, aka Slick Rick, an X account that has been ahead of the news on several NFL transactions over the years. Yes, his avatar is a dog wearing shades and an NFL hat. 2025 is a weird time for the news and rumors space.
Last week, Rickey tweeted that the Green Bay Packers “hope to have done” an extension with left tackle Rasheed Walker before training camp, which begins on July 23rd — a month from today. Mind you, the Packers just drafted two college tackles, Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton, in the first two rounds of the last two drafts and have a standing contract dispute with fellow offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, but those are entirely separate issues on their own.
