Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
It took a few days after his social media post, but Rashan Gary finally has a new home. The Green Bay Packers have found a trade partner for Gary, sending him to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday morning. According to Dianna Russini, the Packers will get a late-round draft pick in 2027 in return. (UPDATE: […]
The conventional wisdom around the Green Bay Packers this offseason is that the team is going to largely avoid getting into the market for any high-priced free agents. With several players likely to depart on big contracts and yield an impressive haul of compensatory draft picks in 2027, our expectation and that of others who […]
The Green Bay Packers only have about $5 million in cap space right now, but they have plenty of ways to create more cap space if they want to. The decision to create cap space is all about opportunity cost. My perspective, as I’ll explain, is that if the Packers swing big in free agency, […]
Former Green Bay Packers linebacker Eric Wilson has made himself a lot of money off of his 2025 campaign with the Minnesota Vikings. In his three years in Green Bay (2022 to 2024), Wilson made a total of $3.42 million, all on a series of one-year contracts that he signed as a veteran. After 2024, […]
NFL reporter Aaron Wilson announced the details of Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Niemann’s contract on Sunday night. According to Wilson, here are the teams for the special teams ace: This is very similar to the type of deal we projected players like Niemann to receive in our Mock Offseason 2.0 (which also included the […]
Since the years coming out of the pandemic-impacted seasons, the Green Bay Packers have used their pre-draft visits on players whom they are highly likely to target, either in the draft or later down the line in their careers. Since the 2022 draft, 30 of them have been brought into Green Bay, which includes post-draft […]
I interrupt the very serious draft analysis and free agency news for which you come to APC in the offseason, to bring you some silliness. Some funny business, if you will. As someone whose Green Bay Packers draft knowledge begins the day the picks are made in April every year, I like to have a […]
One day before the legal tampering period begins and free agents start flying off the board, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has reported that teams are looking into two Green Bay Packers wide receivers who are set for contract years: Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. “Also, [A.J.] Brown isn’t the only receiver potentially available. Baltimore’s Rashod Bateman, […]
It’s hard to know without exact contract details, but the Green Bay Packers probably have a little room between them and the ceiling of the salary cap now that they’ve done a simple restructure of left guard Aaron Banks. Not enough to go on a spending spree, but enough to add one more modestly priced […]
The Green Bay Packers were under the cap after re-signing running back Chris Brooks and converting the majority of safety Xavier McKinney’s 2026 money into a signing bonus, which allows the Packers to spread those cap dollars over multiple seasons — saving them short-term cap space. Since then, though, Green Bay has traded for linebacker […]
The Packers have re-signed offensive lineman Sean Rhyan, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Fowler indicates it’s a three-year, $33 million deal for Rhyan, which could be worth up to $39 million. The contract includes an $11 million signing bonus. Rhyan appeared in all 17 regular season games for the Packers this year, […]
Alright, the Green Bay Packers finally filled one of the expected holes going into the offseason. At the combine, general manager Brian Gutekunst stated that the team needs to add competition at “inside linebacker” and the secondary. On Saturday, the Packers traded starting nose tackle Colby Wooden, going into the final year of his rookie […]
The Green Bay Packers have traded defensive tackle Colby Wooden for former Indianapolis Colts off-ball linebacker Zaire Franklin, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Packers started Wooden as their starting nose tackle in 2025, following the trade of Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys, after Wooden previously played a three-technique earlier in his Green […]
Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have re-signed Nick Niemann, a special teams ace on the roster, on a one-year deal. This news comes on the heels of the Packers trading for former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin, who is now expected to be the team’s starting Mike linebacker in […]
According to Pro Football Focus, Arizona Cardinals nose tackle Dalvin Tomlinson was the 11th-most-played nose tackle in the sport in 2025. The only 2026 free agent who played more snaps than him at the position last year was former Detroit Lions DJ Reader, for reference. On Friday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Tomlinson, who […]
On Friday, Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Rashan Gary posted a goodbye message to Packers fans on Instagram and Twitter, which is not uncommon around this time of year. Gary is one of the few ways the Packers can create some easy cap space in 2026 without having to borrow from the future, as he’s due […]
ESPN’s Dan Graziano took a stab at projecting contracts for the top 20 free agents available in 2026, which includes four Green Bay Packers. Yes, the Packers have a lot of expiring contracts. The bad news for Green Bay fans: The Packers will try to protect these comp picks, meaning that they probably won’t be […]
The Green Bay Packers are moving on from Rashan Gary, according to news first broken by Rashan Gary himself. He posted a farewell message to Green Bay on Friday afternoon announcing the end of his time with the Packers and ending with the messge “On to my next stop — nowhere near done yet.” There […]
No man is more responsible for the current state of the Green Bay Packers as an organization than Bob Harlan. Brett Favre and Reggie White led the resurgent 1990s-era Packers to a Super Bowl title. Mike Holmgren coached that team. Ron Wolf assembled it. But it was Harlan, the team President and CEO, who truly […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news on Thursday that former Green Bay Packers president (1989-2006) and CEO (1989-2008) Bob Harlan passed away on Thursday afternoon. According to Schefter, he remains the only man in NFL history to hire two different general managers to win a Super Bowl. Minutes after Schefter’s report, the Packers made a […]
I wanted to expand on this post by Justis about declining participation during the combine (it’s great, go and read it) because I don’t really think there is a way to fix any of this, and I wanted to discuss why that is. The amount of public access we have to sports data is a […]
The Green Bay Packers were over the cap heading into this week. The recent move to convert the majority of Xavier McKinney’s salary and roster bonus changed that, as his cap hit for 2026 dropped from $19.2 million to just $9.9 million, covering the $5.1 million that the Packers were over the cap by, without […]
The Green Bay Packers have made their first significant salary cap adjustment for the 2026 season, with news of a contract restructure coming down on Thursday morning. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Packers are restructuring Xavier McKinney’s deal, converting a significant portion of his 2026 compensation into a signing bonus to spread that money […]
In my last article, I set up what this series is going to be. We’re building out a callsheet for the Green Bay Packers offense based on their performance by down & distance in 2025. Since I spent an entire article setting this up, we’re not going to belabor the point. Let’s jump right in. […]
In terms of their long term roster strategy, the Packers are in a bit of a tight spot. Could be a lot worse, but could be a lot better, too (paging Russ Ball). As free agency looms, GM Brian Gutekunst will have less flexibility than last year — but moves are still possible. Micah Parsons aside, […]
