Packers Free Agency: Contract details for Green Bay’s swing tackle

On Monday, ESPN’s Pat McAfee reported that Green Bay Packers swing tackle Darian Kinnard signed a one-year deal worth $3.75 million. This should have set your alarm bells off, not because it was McAfee, generally a talk show host, reporting it, but because the Packers had the option to tender Kinnard on a $3.5 million, […]

Well, folks, it’s time to remember that nothing is official in the NFL offseason until the first day of the new league year.

The Green Bay Packers care about special teams now. Everyone rejoice. On Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz broke the news that the Packers will be signing wide receiver and returner Skyy Moore. The former second-round pick, hailing from Matt LaFleur’s old stomping grounds, Western Michigan, returned 25 punts for 291 yards (11.6 average) and 33 […]

Elgton Jenkins signs with Cleveland Browns

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has reported that the Cleveland Browns have signed Elgton Jenkins to a two-year, $24 million contract with a $12 million average per year. $20 million of that $24 million is guaranteed, per Pelissero (though the term “guarantee” has been manipulated in recent years). $12 million per is significantly less than what […]

Packers Free Agency: Moving forward, signings will also cost a draft pick

Last week, we wrote about how the Green Bay Packers probably won’t offset their top four compensatory draft picks, unless they take one really, really big swing. This has sort of been the Packers’ overall strategy with the compensatory pick formula under general manager Brian Gutekunst, as they tend to offset compensatory draft picks by […]

NFL Free Agency: Cap Casualty Tracker

I doubt the Green Bay Packers will spend much on compensatory free agents this year, because of the picks they’re due to receive if their top players walk. On paper, the Packers are incentivized by the league’s structure to limit their compensatory free agent action to up to two $5 million-ish or cheaper players (priced […]

What Benjamin St-Juste can bring to Green Bay’s cornerback room

The Green Bay Packers made their first acquisition of free agency on Tuesday morning, signing former Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Benjamin St-Juste to a two-year, $10-million deal.

Patriots sign Romeo Doubs, Packers due for big comp pick

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that former Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs has signed with the New England Patriots on a deal worth “roughly” four years and $70 million. Compensatory draft picks are based on a player’s average per year, and the $70 million mark would place Doubs at $17.5 million per season. […]

Three players were hit with franchise tags, and one was hit with the transition tag, so it’s time to update our consensus free agency rankings. We’re going to change our methodology for this one because of the inclusion of cap casualties, who aren’t always included in the rankings we’ve found around the web. Due to […]

Packers release CB Nate Hobbs after only one season with the team

The Green Bay Packers have made it clear that they’re not throwing good money after bad — at least when it comes to one of the team’s big free agent signings from a year ago. General manager Brian Gutekunst has made the somewhat shocking decision to release cornerback Nate Hobbs after signing him to a […]

Keaton Mitchell, former Packers visitor, was not tendered by Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens will not tender running back Keaton Mitchell, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. We always tell you to keep an eye on the Green Bay Packers’ visitors, because they tend to find their way in Green Bay, either on their initial NFL deals as draft picks or undrafted free agents, or further […]

The nose tackle market is getting wiped out in free agency

Going into free agency, I thought that Khyiris Tonga and Roy Lopez, two former Jonathan Gannon nose tackles, made the most sense for the Green Bay Packers, based on their price points. Both are now off the board, as Tonga has signed a three-year, $21 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, and Lopez has […]

NFL announces 2026 compensatory draft picks, Packers get an extra selection

By some projections, the Green Bay Packers were expected to be awarded two seventh-round picks for the 2026 draft, because they didn’t offset the losses of center Josh Myers and linebacker Eric Wilson in free agency last year. The Packers would have been awarded higher picks for the losses of T.J. Slaton and Eric Stokes, […]

The Packers have released Elgton Jenkins, create cap space

The Green Bay Packers are already cap compliant, even after some of the moves they’ve made, because of the trade of defensive end Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys. In theory, they could have squatted on offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins until a trade offer came in, if that’s the direction they wanted to go. Instead, […]
