Latest news and updates about the Packers
Quarterback Taylor Elgersma hasn’t given up the dream of playing in the NFL. Despite Elgersma being drafted in the second round of the CFL draft and being taken by the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL draft, his eyes still seem to be set on the NFL. Elgersma, a Canadian national who played college football at […]

The Packers don’t have a lot to love at cornerback right now. Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, and Nate Hobbs are not a particularly inspiring trio, and their performance to end the season is probably not filling fans with a lot of confidence for the first year of the Jonathan Gannon era. To make matters worse, […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur apparently won’t be making the trip down to Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine next week, but general manager Brian Gutekunst will, as he’s scheduled to talk to the press on Tuesday. Gutekunst’s scheduled time is 10:15 am Eastern on Tuesday, the second-earliest slot of the day, presumably […]

Timing is important for linebackers. You have to know when to make your move, line up that gap, and deliver a hit just at the right moment. It’s a huge part of the position. Timing, unfortunately, appears to be working against Quay Walker — at least as far as his chances of staying in Green […]

Green Bay Packers fans are entering the offseason with some anxiety about the cornerback position. Fortunately, the 2026 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent at the position, particularly on Day 2. That doesn’t mean that the Packers will necessarily take a cornerback early in this year’s draft. Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are both […]

The Green Bay Packers’ search for a new special teams coordinator continues on, with new names added to the list of candidates every day. Thursday brought the news of yet another name, this one with a wealth of experience in that role at the NFL level. But questions remain about the Packers’ overall organizational approach […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The quarterback position will be a tough nut to crack this offseason for the New York Jets. A suggestion is made in one of the featured articles below that the Jets should trade a mid round pick for Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee. Another possibility is Packers backup Malik Willis, […]

Timing is everything in the NFL market right now. The league is regularly seeing $25 million per year per team salary cap increases (roughly $800 million in cap increases league-wide). Clubs are also spending an average of 10 percent over the salary cap in cash spending for players, which is only compounding on top of […]

Fox Sports just dropped their updated top-100 free agents in the 2026 class, which includes recent cap casualties like Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb — who were recently released by the Miami Dolphins. Five Green Bay Packers made their top-100 list, which they claim is tied for the most from one single team, along with […]

This has been floating around the Green Bay Packers-sphere since the announcement that Rich Bisaccia stepped down from his gig as the Packers’ special teams coordinator. There’s one camp that believes that Bisaccia actually left his post voluntarily, and there’s another that thinks he was forced out by head coach Matt LaFleur. Personally, I think […]

Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated has two names to share with you regarding the Green Bay Packers’ special teams coordinator search. First, he reported that Cameron Achord “is among the candidates to replace Rich Bisaccia.” A couple of hours later, Huber also reported that Kyle Wilber will be interviewed for the job, too. Let’s take […]

The Packers have a lot of work to do this offseason and not many resources with which to do it. There’s no first round pick coming this year or next, and while there’s cap space to be had, it’ll take some blood-letting to get there. But that’s not to say things can’t be fixed on […]

The Chicago Bears’ special teams had some big moments in 2026, with Josh Blackwell winning NFC Player of the Week after his block in Las Vegas, and Cairo Santos winning it following his three field goals and onside kick performance against the Packers. And who can forget Jake Moody walking off the Commanders or Devin Duvernay’s last-minute […]

Shoutout to LLCHESTY, who asked an interesting question in the comment section of a previous article covering some potential special teams coordinator candidates to replace Rich Bisaccia, now that he’s left his post with the Green Bay Packers: Hey Justis, do you know if any teams use a kicking coach? With the expansion of coaching […]

The Green Bay Packers still may be a candidate to give up a home game for an international game in 2026, but they now know that if they do travel to a different country, they will do so for a game in Europe. The NFL has announced teams participating in three of the international games […]

Those who wanted Rich Bisaccia fired got what they wanted. Sort of. I guess. By hook or by crook, Bisaccia is out in Green Bay. He’s done. The man hired to fix the Packers’ special teams but didn’t will now go off to do whatever former special teams coaches do in retirement. Is that a […]

Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia stepped down on Tuesday, to the surprise of many, as all 11 of the other special teams coordinator vacancies around the league had already been filled this offseason. To put this simply, it’s not great to start a coaching search for any vacancy in mid-February, a week […]

Rich Bisaccia is out of a job with the Green Bay Packers. Today, I want to construct a statistical analysis of the Packers’ remaining options to replace Bisaccia. Bisaccia stepped away from his post in Green Bay after the other 11 vacancies league-wide were already filled. Among those 11 “new” hires, 8 of them held […]

Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Rich Bisaccia just stepped down from his position with the team. Based on the timing of this happening on February 17th, after several teams with new head coaches have already announced their full staffs for the 2026 season, I’m going to guess that the Packers […]

First reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and shortly thereafter confirmed by the Packers’ official social media account, Rich Bisaccia is stepping down from his post as the Packers’ special teams coordinator. Bisaccia has […]

ESPN’s Matt Bowen updated his top-50 free agents currently set to hit the 2026 market, and he included the best team fits for each one of these individual players, too. One of these players, cornerback Greg Newsome II, was given the Green Bay Packers as his best fit, according to Bowen. Here’s what he had […]

Free agency is bearing down on us. A wave of veteran releases began to break yesterday, the franchise tag window opens today, and teams are gearing up for the annual big spend. The Packers, of course, can’t spend richly this spring, but if they make a few of the expected moves to get their cap […]

Here’s a fun one I want to throw out there. After publishing our Mock Offseason 2.0, I got some questions about addressing the tight end and linebacker positions, which I understand, but I don’t necessarily believe are must-add positions in the draft if depth is brought back. So here’s what I want to ask you […]

The Green Bay Packers traded away their projected starting nose tackle, Kenny Clar,k in the Micah Parsons trade last August. Clark was expected to be a one-year stopgap for the Dallas Cowboys, simply because of the way his contract was laid out. As it stands right now, he is due $21.5 million in cash in […]

The Green Bay Packers had their share of issues during the 2025 season, but one thing stood out as an encouraging part of their performance throughout last season. Although there were a few issues by individual players, the Packers’ defense, on the whole, tackled very well all year. That was the case even through injuries, […]
