UPDATE: The Steelers announced that they have “verbally agreed” for McCarthy to become their head coach. That wording does not inspire much confidence. The Pittsburgh Steelers have, confoundingly, hired former Packers and Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy to replace Mike Tomlin. At first glance, this does not make much sense.

Our subjects in this series so far have been fairly uncontroversial. Rashan Gary, Elgton Jenkins, and Josh Jacobs all carry big cap numbers, and all of them have interesting cases for and against keeping them in 2026.

With former defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley off coaching the Miami Dolphins, the biggest move that the Green Bay Packers will make this offseason will probably be who they replace Hafley with.

Every Green Bay Packers fan wants two new starters at cornerback in 2026. I want Sauce Gardner and Patrick Surtain playing outside for my team, too. But it won’t happen this year because of the team’s cap situation and the fact that they’re out of a first-round pick (and will be in 2027, too). The […]

Over the last four years, Romeo Doubs has usually been a consistent, if unspectacular wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers. Since the Packers selected him in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Doubs has steadily put up similar numbers year after year. In the last three seasons in particular, his consistency is […]
