Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Tracking the Packers’ pre-draft visits is always a good idea. I’ve wrote about this several times in this year’s pre-draft prep process, and, true to form, the Packers did what they always do. Four pre-draft visitors are now in Green Bay: quarterback Kyron Drones, edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly, linebacker T.J. Quinn, and offensive lineman Josh […]
Over the last few weeks, my timeline and mentions have been filled with unnecessary discourse about two of the top receivers on the Green Bay Packers in Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Immediately following Watson’s extension, which was initially reported as being worth up to $110 million, social media was full of people saying things […]
MarShawn Lloyd has been little more than an idea for his two years in Green Bay. A 2024 third round pick out of USC, Lloyd has seen the field for just one regular season game in the intervening two years. He’s been injured so much we can’t even given him the Christian Watson caveat. We […]
For most members of the Green Bay Packers’ roster, it’s summer break time. The Packers wrapped up minicamp on Thursday with a third and final practice for the week, after which veterans were released for the summer. Rookies will stick around for one more week of OTAs, but for most players, the time off begins […]
In his pre-practice press conference leading up to the final practice of the Green Bay Packers’ mandatory minicamp, head coach Matt LaFleur outlined the timeline for practices moving forward. According to LaFleur, veterans will have next week off, while rookies will be participating in voluntary organized team activities. On top of that, LaFleur announced that […]
For a fifth-round pick, Jager Burton has wasted little time making an impression in Green Bay. The rookie offensive lineman entered the offseason viewed primarily as a developmental depth piece. A four-year starter at Kentucky with experience at multiple positions, Burton offered the kind of versatility Green Bay covets, but few expected him to be […]
Thursday is the final day of minicamp for the Green Bay Packers, who have another week of Organized Training Activities left in the offseason program. However, head coach Matt LaFleur has decided to give his veterans a break this spring, sending them home a week early for the summer. Ahead of Thursday’s practice, LaFleur spoke […]
Minicamp is underway, and today marked Day 2 of the three-day snapshot of the team for Green Bay Packers fans. No one completely took over practice on Wednesday, like pass-rusher Lukas Van Ness did on Tuesday, but there was some news broken before, during and after practice. Participation 17 players remain out for the Packers, […]
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 7th article in the series, where we’re looking at 3rd & Medium (where “Medium” […]
If you spend any time in any online space related to books or writing online, you know there’s a slow-rolling literacy crisis going on in America. Fewer and fewer people are reading for enjoyment, and even fewer seem to be comprehending what they’re reading. Based on the online discussion around Christian Watson’s contract, I’d gently […]
The Green Bay Packers kicked off their mandatory minicamp without a lot of drama this year. So far, everyone has reported to voluntary offseason workouts, so there was no threat of a player missing mandatory work (and the fines that come with it). The Packers’ minicamp will last three days, beginning with today’s action. The […]
The raw numbers were still a good deal. Here at APC, we broke that down last week when Christian Watson signed his new contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, initially reported as a 4-year, $110.5 million extension. That new compensation, combined with his one remaining contract year, made the deal in essence a 5-year, […]
Jordan Love hits an inflection point this season. As of this year, he’ll have been the Packers’ starter for longer than he was an understudy to Aaron Rodgers, signifying…something. I’m not exactly sure what. The passage of time, maybe? The inevitable march of one day after another after another toward oblivion? Maybe that’s a bit […]
The Green Bay Packers are getting ahead of their extensions, as they’ve already extended receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson, who were both going into the final years of their contracts in 2026, this offseason. Here’s the question I want to ask you all today: Who else would you try to extend long-term before the […]
We’re back at it to break down the Green Bay Packers’ tight ends going into the summer. If you missed it, we’ve already hit the quarterback and receiver positions. Tight end is an interesting position, as general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the team was hoping to land a true Y tight end in the […]
Attendance has been excellent at the Green Bay Packers’ offseason program, as usual. The team’s implementation of workout bonuses in veterans’ contracts helps ensure those players’ appearance throughout the spring and in OTA practices, and young players are almost always present as well, looking to take advantage of any opportunity to make a good impression […]
Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers signed receiver Christian Watson to a four-year deal worth $110 million in new money, good for $27.5 million per season. This was sort of expected on my end, considering Detroit Lions WR2 Jameson Williams, another speedster from the 2022 class, signed a deal worth $26.7 million per year back in […]
4 years and $110.5 million is a lot of time and money to invest in a football player. That’s the new term on the contract that the Green Bay Packers just gave Christian Watson, and sure, it is a lot, both objectively and in the context of the NFL. But while there has been plenty […]
I’ve already seen so much online analysis of the Green Bay Packers’ contract extension with Christian Watson that basically boils down to “duhhhh BIG NUMBER, MAN HURT, NEVER HIT 700 YARDS, MAYBE I DOWN MY LOW T MEDS BEFORE CALLING DIVORCE ATTORNEY AND SNEAKING IN NINE HOLES.” And just, no. It’s not that much money, […]
Christian Watson got his money. Now the obvious question looms: is he worth the money? Watson stands atop a revamped Packers’ wide receiver depth chart. Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are gone, departed via free agency and a trade, respectively. Jayden Reed is back, retained on a contract extension of his own earlier this offseason, […]
It’s official — the Green Bay Packers plan to have Christian Watson as their number one wide receiver for the foreseeable future. On Thursday morning, the two sides agreed to a massive new contract extension that will keep the wide receiver in Green Bay through 2030. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal is a […]
If you haven’t noticed, the Green Bay Packers have invested in speed at the wide receiver position over the last several years. Although Matt LaFleur has gained a reputation for preferring big-bodied wide receivers who can block, the team has moved on from a few of those players this offseason and those who are left […]
Here’s an early reminder that the Green Bay Packers are getting: life with a rookie kicker can be stressful. To that end, sixth round pick Trey Smack generated some concern this week after an uneven OTA performance, in which he missed multiple field-goal attempts during a public practice session. Following Mason Crosby’s tenure, Packer fans […]
On Wednesday, Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Micah Parsons told the local press that he has a strict “nine-month rule” to return to game action, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood. This makes sense, considering that receiver Christian Watson, who tore his ACL late in the 2024 season, took nine months to return to […]
Now that the dust has settled a bit on the Los Angeles Rams’ trade of Myles Garrett, I want to compare and contrast the trade with the Green Bay Packers’ trade of Micah Parsons. I’m sure you all have opinions on how the two trades stack up, so I wanted to try to give it […]
