Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
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 […]
Let’s get the pun out of the way early: there’s a golden opportunity at hand for a certain second-year wide receiver in Green Bay. After a disappointing rookie campaign, Matthew Golden has it all in front of him in year two. Romeo Doubs has departed for New England. Dontayvion Wicks is gone, headed for Philadelphia […]
Let’s continue our series breaking down every player on the Green Bay Packers’ roster with the receiver position. The position had a decent amount of turnover this offseason, after Romeo Doubs was lost in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Who is left on the Packers’ depth chart, and what […]
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was back at practice for Tuesday’s voluntary organized team activities, despite Brown County continuing to investigate potential charges related to a domestic abuse case. Last Wednesday was the Packers’ first media-open OTAs, which happened to fall on the same day that Jacobs was released from jail after the […]
Nothing like some good ol’ June 1 moves to shake up the offseason, huh? The Rams, Browns, Patriots, and Eagles were all involved in big-time trades yesterday, and while the landscape of the entire league didn’t change, there were certainly some significant seismic shifts. The Packers will feel the effects of both trades; they’ll face […]
For the second straight summer, an NFC contender has traded for one of the NFL’s best pass-rushers. Last year it was the Green Bay Packers making the big splash, acquiring Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys; this year, the Los Angeles Rams are the team landing a superstar. According to Ian Rapoport and others from […]
The NFL players’ union has announced the redistribution of funds from royalty payments that players received during last season. These payments are what players made for their likeness being distributed, from their inclusion in the Madden video game to jersey and collectable sales. At the top of this year’s leaderboard is Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur […]
The first indication of when training camp will start for the Green Bay Packers in 2026 is here. The franchise typically begins camp with its annual Shareholders Meeting; in a press release on Friday, the team has announced the date and time for that event. This year, the Packers’ Shareholders Meeting will take place at […]
Believe it or not, Christian Watson has yet to eclipse 620 receiving yards in a single season. Watson has put up between 611 and 620 yards in three of his first four years in the NFL, but injuries have been a huge reason for that. He has missed at least two games in every NFL […]
On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers had their first media-open organized team activities of the 2026 offseason. Unfortunately, their running back room was a little thin, as Josh Jacobs was just being released from jail that day and both MarShawn Lloyd and Damien Martinez were unavailable to use during team drills due to injury. This […]
One way or another, the Green Bay Packers need to get something substantial from MarShawn Lloyd in 2026. The former third-round draft pick with one NFL game to his name may well be in line to start at running back for the Packers this season, but even he was not the team’s first running back […]
