Latest news and updates about the Packers
Tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up off waivers on Tuesday, had his physical failed by the team on Thursday and is now a free agent. Lachey, a Y tight end, was the type of tight end that the Packers’ room was missing. After the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted […]
The Miami Dolphins have claimed defensive tackle James Ester off waivers, as per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Ester, 24, signed a futures contract with the Packers in early 2025 and spent the entirety of last season on their practice squad. A futures contract is a deal signed by a free agent that locks them […]
Green Bay Packers fans had better get their Netflix subscriptions renewed for the 2026 season. On Thursday morning, a little less than 12 hours before the full 2026 NFL schedule was released, a leak has been reported that the Packers will have a second game broadcast on the streaming platform around a major holiday. The […]
It’s schedule release day — or as my podcast cohost Alex Petakas sarcastically refers to it: “the day we learn the days.” No doubt you’ll be inundated with schedule-related content, so I thought I’d offer a slightly different take on a related topic. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that the Packers will face the Los Angeles […]
The Green Bay Packers continue to change up their offseason roster this week. Previously, the team added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback M.J. Devonshire off waivers. On Wednesday, the Packers were awarded receiver Brenden Rice, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, from the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice originally enrolled at Colorado […]
The NFL announcement inception has finally begun for the 2026 schedule release. The league has formally revealed the date on which the league’s 2026 schedule will be announced, with the whole thing set for this Thursday, May 14. On that date, fans will finally know the dates, times, and locations of every game for the […]
As part of the NFL’s slow-dripping of its schedule release, the league announced its full international schedule on Wednesday. Based on the slate of home teams, the final possibilities for the Green Bay Packers to play globally in 2026 were either as the road team against the Detroit Lions (Germany) or New Orleans Saints (France). […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Packers are going to need a lot of internal growth to reach their full potential this year. Yes, that’s the case for every team, and yes, that’s often the case for the Packers, but it seems to especially be the case this year. The Packers […]
Well…that was quick. A couple of hours after asking you which position groups the Green Bay Packers should add to, the Packers claimed two players off waivers. Green Bay added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback MJ Devonshire. With these additions, the Packers’ roster is now full. The two vacancies were created when tight end […]
With the release of kicker Brandon McManus, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster currently sits at 89 players, including their international exemption for defender Dante Barnett. Right now, the Packers have two open roster spots available, which makes the team’s release of McManus and their non-signing of any tryout players after rookie minicamp even more […]
Cap guru Ken Ingalls has reported some of the Green Bay Packers’ top guarantees for their undrafted free agents in the 2026 class. According to Ingalls, edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly received $247,500 in guarantees, followed by offensive linemen Josh Gesky ($200,000), receiver J. Michael Sturdivant ($200,000) and linebacker TJ Quinn ($150,000). Reporting has also dropped […]
The NFL announced today that it’ll be releasing its full slate of games for the 2026 season on Thursday. Until then, you’re going to hear a lot of rumors about the Green Bay Packers and their upcoming schedule. Here’s our schedule tracker, where you can find all those rumors in one place. Here’s my question […]
For better or worse, the Green Bay Packers’ decision to trade a pair of seventh-round draft picks had some knock-on effects that will affect the team’s salary cap sheet in 2026. A few weeks ago, towards the end of the 2026 NFL Draft, General manager Brian Gutekunst sent both of his 7th-round selections to Seattle […]
When Mike LaFleur was being interviewed for the head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Cardinals, the offensive-minded coach first took a look at the quarterback situation. He saw a QB room of two veteran QBs with Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett. After LaFleur took the helm of the team, it was decided to let Murray […]
The Micah Parsons Trade looks a lot better for the Cowboys now – Cody Warren, Inside the Star After dealing Micah Parsons, the Cowboys out the picks and salary cap room to good use.. What the Cowboys Got in the Micah Parsons Trade The Packers got Micah Parsons and the Cowboys got Kenny Clark, a […]
Romeo Doubs’ departure isn’t really about his volume numbers. Sure, he led the Packers in targets, receptions, and yards, but all of those numbers come with caveats. He was more than 100 yards behind Tucker Kraft when Kraft was lost for the season, and Doubs’ target share cratered pretty much the instant Christian Watson made […]
Well, looks like there won’t be a kicking battle in training camp after all. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers have released kicker Brandon McManus, ending his tenure with the team after two seasons. McManus was on thin ice after ending the season with his worst game of 2025, missing a […]
Last week, we dug into Dani Dennis-Sutton, the Green Bay Packers 4th round pick in the 2026 draft. Today we’re going a little further down the list and taking a look at one of the undrafted free agents the Packers brought in. The Packers stayed out of the run of tight ends taken in the […]
Analytics nerds have long had access to a statistic known as WPA or “Win Percentage Added.” This statistic uses a model based on historical data which tells you approximately how likely you are to win a game based on the current game state. If you’re up by 3 points with 1:48 remaining in the game […]
13 days ago, the Green Bay Packers moved up seven spots in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft to take defensive tackle Chris McClellan out of Missouri. While some Packers fans (and the vast majority of the APC staff) were hoping for the team to land Iowa State’s Domonique Orange, Brian Gutekunst and […]
Look, I don’t want to make the entire offseason about Mike Tanier, and I also don’t want to just spend all my time criticizing the Chicago Bears, who I really and truly believe are now extremely competently run, well-coached, and true contenders. HOWEVER. There were a bunch of factual errors in Mike’s last big thing […]
I already got one wrong prediction on my 53-man roster projection from after the draft, as the Green Bay Packers have already swapped out backup quarterback Desmond Ridder for Tyrod Taylor. That got me thinking: How many roster spots are truly 100 percent safe on this team right now? Here’s my best stab at it, […]
It really is a shame that Tucker Kraft’s 2025 season was cut short. This is not just because the Green Bay Packers might have made a deeper playoff run with him on the field (which is likely) or because he will miss the entire 2026 offseason program while rehabbing his torn ACL. Beyond those concerns […]
Live reactions to Chicago's slide from No. 2 to No. 4.
Getting to hear Jonathan Gannon speak this week was an interesting, if funny and not-all-that-surprising, diversion. But while the defensive coordinator sets the table, his assistant coaches are responsible for preparing most of the meal. Whatever Gannon’s vision for the defense might be (and despite his claims, he does have a scheme), it’ll be on […]
