The “will they/won’t they/should they” dance over Matt LaFleur’s contract extension last month soaked up just about all of the available discourse resources among Packers watchers.

When it comes to draft rankings, I think it’s important to evaluate the evaluator. To me, there’s no one in the business doing better work on offensive linemen than Brandon Thorn, who currently drops his draft prospect rankings on Bleacher Report as part of their B/R NFL Scouting Dept. series.

The Packers broke a two-decade streak when they picked Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

It’s not often that Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst speaks to the media. Last year, he held one of his few media obligations, his end-of-year press conference, on January 17th.

I think all Green Bay Packers fans realize we’re not getting much bang for our buck from the 2025 free agent class. Usually, free agency is a bad bet. Teams just don’t allow good, healthy players to hit the open market often, especially in an era where cash spending is so much higher than the […]
