Latest news and updates about the Packers
Prepare yourself for the Packers to make a move at running back next week. I wrote last week about the Packers’ pre-draft visits tipping their priorities a bit, and that’s still true. The picture has clarified since then: with 23 visits now reported, the Packers have touched base with five different cornerbacks. Usually when they […]
In one of the more surprising pre-draft visits, the Green Bay Packers brought in a safety for a top-30 visit. LSU Tigers safety AJ Haulcy posted to Instagram that he was in Green Bay, presumably for an official visit less than two weeks before the start of the 2026 NFL Draft. It’s a surprise visit […]
Following their trade of Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers have a need for depth and long-term options at the wide receiver position. Wicks was one of several players with contracts expiring after this season, but the Packers were able to get draft pick compensation for this year (and next) by […]
We’ve been talking NFL draft prospects and the Green Bay Packers over the last week. If you want to catch up on the previous posts in this series, we’ve already hit on the quarterback, running back and receiver positions. Next up for us is tight end, which might be a sneaky need or not a […]
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 6th article in the series, where we’re looking at 3rd & Long (where “Long” […]
Per Tom Silverstein, the Green Bay Packers had a top-30 visit with Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton on April 7. Justis did a write-up when the visit was announced, but today we’re digging in a bit more. Morton is a 5th-year senior, and he spent all 5 of those years with the Texas Tech Red […]
In Week 15 this past season, the Green Bay Packers’ defense suffered its most brutal loss of the season to that point. No, it wasn’t that they lost a 34-26 game to Denver, but rather the loss of Micah Parsons for a team that was sitting at 9-3-1 heading into the game. The loss of […]
The Green Bay Packers have a need for a productive pass rusher in 2026, particularly with Micah Parsons likely to miss the first few games of the season as he recovers from his torn ACL. Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height could fill that need. According to Ryan Fowler, the Packers have (or have had) a […]
The Philadelphia Eagles are trading for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, according to a report from ESPN. Here are the terms of the deal: EAGLES RECEIVE — Dontayvion Wicks PACKERS RECEIVE — 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 sixth-round pick In addition, the Eagles are reportedly signing Wicks to a one-year, $12.5 million extension that […]
The Green Bay Packers have traded wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who was on the final year of his rookie contract going into the 2026 season, to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Wicks has also agreed to a one-year, $12.5 million extension with […]
The Chargers are doing their due dilligence on the lesser-known edge rushers in this upcoming draft class and one of the name just linked to the team is Central Michigan’s Michael Heldman. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that Heldman is expected to visit with the Chargers and Packers in the coming days. Heldman is a […]
Let’s add another player to the list of pre-draft visitors with the Green Bay Packers, and this one checks just about every box of the typical Packers visitor. Small-school player? Check. Elite athlete? Check. Likely to be a late-round pick or undrafted free agent? Check. Enter Michael Heldman, a defensive end out of Central Michigan, […]
Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber is reporting that the Green Bay Packers will bring in Texas A&M cornerback Will Lee III for a pre-draft visit. I can’t lie: I’m pretty stoked about this one. While Lee only ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the combine, he plays much faster than that (can cover drag routes from […]
We’ve previously hit on the quarterback and running back positions, so next up to bat in our draft series are the receivers. Let’s take you through what the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart looks like, what the draft class looks like and what the Packers could potentially do at the position on draft week. Packers […]
The Packers’ pre-draft visits are a reliable barometer of what the team thinks of an incoming draft class. It’s an open secret so open it’s barely a secret. Track the Packers’ visits and you’ll have a pretty good idea what they’re planning for a given year’s draft. For example, last year, they focused most of […]
The Green Bay Packers have no first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, though this is a better year than most for that to be the case. The general consensus on this year’s class is that it is stronger and deeper in day-two prospects than it is a at the top, with only a handful […]
Generally speaking, I only deal with offensive skill position players come draft time because they have the largest number of publicly available metrics cataloguing their exploits. However, the Green Bay Packers don’t really need any receivers or tight ends, and if you need a quarterback this year, well, good luck with that. The Packers do […]
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that the Green Bay Packers will have New Mexico running back Damon Bankston on a pre-draft visit. Notably, Bankston took two kickoff returns for a touchdown in the 2025 season. At the moment, the Packers’ top kickoff options for the 2026 season are receiver Savion Williams […]
We touched on the quarterback position yesterday, so let’s take a look at their partners in the backfield today. Here’s where the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster stands right now and the options that the team has at the running back position in the upcoming NFL Draft. Packers Running Back Depth Chart Outside of losing […]
This Miami Dolphins trade scenario adds a low-cost playmaker from Green Bay who would provide quarterback Malik Willis with a familiar target to throw to.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers had in Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton for a pre-draft visit on Tuesday. The Packers are limited to just 30 of these pre-draft visits and usually end up targeting the players who come in, either as draft choices, undrafted free agents or […]
There have been a few pleasant side effects of the Packers not having a first round pick this year. One was getting to watch Micah Parsons in a Packers uniform, and we’ll get to enjoy that again this fall, whenever he returns from his torn ACL. But another is better draft coverage. People covering the […]
Alright, let’s talk actual players today. I’ve done my best to watch the top-150-ish prospects in this class at this point, but I’m still cramming to finish the rest of the bunch. As of now, here are the players I like the most for what the Green Bay Packers need and like to do on […]
Here’s a bit of a Rorschach test: was the Packers’ offensive line bad last year? Why or why not? Beyond saying “it wasn’t as good as expected,” I don’t think we can go much farther than that as far as substantive takes, because the real story of the offensive line is this: almost nobody ended […]
The Green Bay Packers’ positions of focus for the 2026 NFL Draft are starting to come into focus. While the Packers are known to draft or sign players who came to the team facilities for formal pre-draft visits, an even more clear sign is the positions of the players whom they invite. With more than […]
