Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Our subjects in this series so far have been fairly uncontroversial. Rashan Gary, Elgton Jenkins, and Josh Jacobs all carry big cap numbers, and all of them have interesting cases for and against keeping them in 2026. Keisean Nixon is no less interesting, but the discussion around him is going to be a lot more […]

Let’s go position-by-position, breaking down what can be taken away from the scale and measuring tape day from a Green Bay Packers perspective.

With former defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley off coaching the Miami Dolphins, the biggest move that the Green Bay Packers will make this offseason will probably be who they replace Hafley with. In talking to those in the know in the coaching and coaching representation space, two names have come up consistently (throughout the year), mostly […]

Every Green Bay Packers fan wants two new starters at cornerback in 2026. I want Sauce Gardner and Patrick Surtain playing outside for my team, too. But it won’t happen this year because of the team’s cap situation and the fact that they’re out of a first-round pick (and will be in 2027, too). The […]

In Major League Baseball, the one thing that every small market smart team has in common is a disproportionately large investment in analytics and player development. This class of teams generally includes the Tampa Bay Rays (who employ about four times as many of what the industry refers to as “nerds” as any other team), […]

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Ben Solak ranked the best coordinator openings in the league this offseason, with five official openings on the offensive side and eight official openings on the defensive side.

During the season, I like to look around the league and see what other teams are doing in the passing game. It’s a good way to get familiar with other offenses around the league, but it also works as a bit of a thought experiment when it comes to the Green Bay Packers’ offense. When […]

Over the last four years, Romeo Doubs has usually been a consistent, if unspectacular wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers. Since the Packers selected him in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Doubs has steadily put up similar numbers year after year. In the last three seasons in particular, his consistency is […]

Plenty of defensive coaches would start salivating at the chance to coach Micah Parsons. That’s the opportunity ahead of whoever ends up being the Green Bay Packers’ next defensive coordinator, and it makes the Packers’ job one of the more intriguing coordinator opportunities currently available. The Packers are well into the interview process for the […]

The Green Bay Packers are in an interesting spot going into the 2026 offseason. Their preferred center in 2025, Elgton Jenkins, has regressed in two successive seasons and finished the year on the injured reserve after suffering a fractured fibula midway through the season against the Philadelphia Eagles. In all likelihood, the Packers will be […]

Many backup quarterbacks quietly drift off down the lazy river of free agency during the offseason, but not Malik Willis, who’s proven himself worthy of competing for starting reps somewhere. In fact, he’s become one of the more buzzed-about quarterback names on the market. After shining in spot duty with the Green Bay Packers these […]

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons has been named a finalist for the Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Shoutout to captainlou10 from the comment section for the inspiration for this discussion post.

It’s pretty clear at this point that Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis will be playing for another NFL team in 2026. Willis should command a deal in the range of Justin Fields’ two-year, $40 million contract, a benchmark deal for the “prove it here and you’ll get a real starting quarterback contract” market. […]
