Matt Damon, Ben Affleck were ‘flabbergasted' after meeting Jordon Hudson, insider says
It turns out that viewers weren't the only ones confused by Jordon Hudson's presence in a Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial alongside Bill Belichick. A couple of her famous co-stars were as well.
In a recent discussion with Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, journalist Pablo Torre shed some light on what he described as bizarre negotiations to make the DunKings commercial happen. Torre reports that Hudson was acting as Belichick's agent. Torre, the host of 'Pablo Torre Finds Out,' has been notably plugged in with the Belichick-Hudson relationship.
'She was negotiating directly with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who were, I am told very reliably, flabbergasted that this was who they had to go through to get to the guy that they revered for decades as the greatest coach of all time,' Torre said.
Affleck and Damon both grew up in Massachusetts and have been vocal about their New England sports fandom. They're plenty familiar with the former Patriots coach, who was famously media savvy in terms of keeping his life private.
That's why it's been especially jarring to see Belichick and Hudson so open about their public and professional relationship with his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée).
Torre described Hudson as 'kind of Bill Belichick's 'momager,' a mom/manager akin to Kris Jenner figure, the architect behind the Kardashian-Jenner media empire.
Torre noted that Affleck and Damon were thrown off by Hudson's role in negotiations, but pushed on to secure Belichick's spot in the commercial.
However, the North Carolina coach didn't come alone. Hudson reportedly 'forced' her way into an on-screen role in the Super Bowl ad.
Hudson's appearance on TV screens in the Super Bowl was one of many catalysts that vaulted her into the national conversation as one half of the most talked-about relationship in football.

Dolphins New Timeline Revealed for Jalen Ramsey Trade
Dolphins New Timeline Revealed for Jalen Ramsey Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NFL world has now known for two months that the Miami Dolphins are looking to trade Jalen Ramsey, but no deal has been made yet. Advertisement Ramsey did not appear at organized team activities (OTAs) or mandatory minicamp, and it would be a surprise at this point if he showed up for training camp next month. Now, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio says you may not see a deal made until after the regular season begins, or at least until a notable injury takes place. "The fact that a trade hasn't happened proves that it's not going smoothly," Florio said. "Ultimately, the Dolphins may have to wait for someone with another team to get injured before a true market for Ramsey's contract will materialize." Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (5) runs onto the field before the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Navarro-Imagn Images The only team that has been linked as a possible trade partner is the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Sean McVay was bullish on a potential deal. Advertisement Florio believes the team needs leverage to help them recoup some value from Ramsey's contract, worth upwards of $72.3 million through the 2028 season. He named the Rams as a potential partner that could help create some leverage. Florio noted that it is highly unlikely to see a scenario like Deshaun Watson had with the Houston Texans in 2021, where Watson was nearly traded but ended up being paid to sit the entire season. It would also be a surprise if Ramsey, who turns 31 in October, would be okay with sitting out an entire season at this point in his career. Both Ramsey and the Dolphins have motivation to work out a deal, Florio believes it is just a matter of what return Miami is comfortable with getting back.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey Hints at Steelers Trade via Social Media
Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey Hints at Steelers Trade via Social Media originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey have been searching for a trade partner for a while now. The two sides mutually agreed early in the offseason, and the Dolphins waited until after June 1 to help with the dead cap space hit. Advertisement With less than a month until training camp, Ramsey may have just hinted at where he'll be playing in 2025. This screenshot of Ramsey's Instagram shows the Dolphins' cornerback following three members of the Pittsburgh Steelers' secondary and DK Metcalf. Although this is nothing concrete, it could be a signal from Ramsey that the Steelers will be his home in 2025. After all, Pittsburgh has shown this offseason that they are willing to go all-in right now. The Steelers and Dolphins have been in communication throughout the offseason regarding tight end Jonnu Smith. Now, the two teams could be in touch about Ramsey. Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (5) celebrates after his interception against the Las Vegas Raiders during the second half at Hard Rock Vinlove-Imagn Images The Steelers' secondary is already loaded with star power, with Minkah Fitzpatrick leading the group. Pittsburgh signed Darius Slay to a one-year, $10 million deal this offseason, and Joey Porter Jr. will be entering his third year in the league. Advertisement With the addition of Aaron Rodgers earlier this month, it's obvious that the Steelers are trying to put everything together to make a run in 2025. The addition of Ramsey could build the Steelers' secondary into one of the best in the NFL. If you pair that with a healthy T.J. Watt and the Steelers' defensive front, Pittsburgh's defense could be looking at its greatest potential yet. The Steelers' cap space isn't in the greatest position, sitting at just below $19 million. But if Pittsburgh believes the addition of Ramsey with Rodgers on the other side of the ball could put them in contention for a Super Bowl, I'm sure they'd find a way to make it happen. Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee show this morning that he expects Ramsey to be traded before training camp begins, which leaves less than a month before the Dolphins' cornerback could be on the move.

Lamar Jackson's Appearance at Camp Shows Commitment to Ravens
Lamar Jackson's Appearance at Camp Shows Commitment to Ravens originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL in Lamar Jackson, and he feels that he deserves to be paid as such. Advertisement Jackson is not a free agent until after the 2027 season, but he is only the tenth-highest paid quarterback in the NFL in terms of annual salary. As a result, the team expected him not to make an appearance at camp. But that was not in fact the case. According to multiple reports, the 28-year-old field general was at mandatory minicamp, which would have been a prime time for him to hold out and demand a larger contract. But he showed up to many people's surprise, and this shows just how committed he is to leading this team to a win in the Super Bowl. The Ravens selected the former Louisville quarterback with the last pick in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and he has already become one of the best players in their history since then. Advertisement He has already won two Most Valuable Player awards and been named First Team All-Pro three times in his seven seasons in the league. Even though he has been with the team for seven years, he only became the team's full-time starter in his second season. Jackson is committed to bringing the Ravens their third Super Bowl win in franchise history. As a result, the team is likely to give him the pay day that he deserves very soon.
