Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Saturday is going to have a sleepy slate of games before things really ramp up in rivalry week, where we’ll get #4 Georgia @ #16 Georgia Tech and #3 Texas A&M @ #17 Texas on Black Friday and #1 Ohio State @ #18 Michigan and #14 Vanderbilt @ #20 Tennessee on Saturday. This week, though, […]

The Green Bay Packers dropped their final injury report of the week on Friday, which included that receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) was a limited participant in practice after having his 21-day practice window open up today. Reed is officially listed as out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, but he at least got this […]

Every year for about five years I’ve been predicting a decline for Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith, because, well, most 31-year-old safeties decline pretty quickly. However, Harrison Smith is not most safeties, and to his immense credit, he has bucked the odds year after year after year. In retrospect, this was actually a dumb thing […]

The Green Bay Packers are poised to get some reinforcements for their banged-up wide receiver room. Currently, the team has six wideouts on the 53-man roster, and five of those were listed as limited in Thursday’s practice ahead of the team’s Week 12 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The only receiver practicing in full was […]

One thing I like about the Green Bay Packer front office is that I know they have a big database of players and college prospects somewhere inside 1265 Lombardi Avenue, and that it is at least somewhat knowable if you know what to look for. For instance, last year I wrote a piece about how […]

If the Green Bay Packers want to win on Sunday, then they need to make sure Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy continues to look like one of the worst quarterbacks in football. That’s not hyperbole or even an unfair shot at a divisional rival’s QB. When on the field, McCarthy has been one of the […]

The Packers’ schedule this year is stupid, and the stupidity kicks into high gear this week. With seven weeks remaining, the Packers have played just one of their six divisional games, meaning their final five are jammed into the last month and a half of the season. This is dumb and stupid and wrong for […]

The Green Bay Packers host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, and this game will be yet another chance for this Packers squad to demonstrate that they can play better than they have during their rough stretch over the past several weeks. It’s time to turn the focus up — there can be no more […]

We covered this a little bit last week, but I wanted to give you an update on an interesting phenomenon that I’ve found: The Green Bay Packers’ rushing game basically plays up to their opponent’s season-long averages. This is all to say, we might have the most meh run game in the league, even though […]

Throughout training camp, Green Bay Packers rookie second-round pick Anthony Belton had practiced exclusively at the tackle positions, in a backup role, for the Packers. To me, that was somewhat understandable, since Travis Glover was placed on the injured reserve early on and Kadeem Telfort, who was a roster bubble player to begin with, would […]

With running back Josh Jacobs (knee) and receiver Savion Williams (foot) returning to practice for the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, the Packers’ only non-participants in practice this week have been defensive lineman Karl Brooks (ankle), linebacker Quay Walker (neck) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee). Green Bay should be relatively healthy going into their matchup […]

Thursday has arrived, and with it is the start of football in week 12. Tonight, football fans will get a matchup between teams that have recently been staples of the AFC playoff field with the Bills visiting the Texans. Buffalo has made the postseason in six straight seasons and seven of eight starting in 2017. […]

For the first time in the 2025 regular season, the NFL has implemented its flexible scheduling system to change the kickoff time of a game. On Thursday afternoon, the league announced that it has adjusted the start times for a pair of Sunday games in Week 14, one of which involves the Green Bay Packers. […]

After missing Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury, Green Bay Packers starting running back Josh Jacobs will return to the field on Thursday, at least in limited looks. Jacobs suffered a knee contusion against the New York Giants on Sunday, knocking him out of the game after the team’s second drive. In his pre-practice press […]

The Green Bay Packers’ defense has been a bright spot for the team this year. Though, as we enter the final stretch of the season, there’s one department where the defense needs to step it up: interceptions. Thanks to the devil-may-care style of backup quarterback Jameis Winston, the Packers had several easy interception opportunities last […]

The market for Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis is expected to be around the $5 million per year to $8 million per year range, according to a recent report. While that may seem steep for a backup, that’s about the going rate for a stable veteran passer. Willis has led the Packers to a […]

There was some hope earlier this week that either running back MarShawn Lloyd or receiver Jayden Reed would return to the 53-man roster after a stint on the injured reserve. On Monday, when Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked if the team was going to open either of their 21-day practice windows […]

In his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told the media that running back Josh Jacobs, who left Sunday’s game with a knee contusion, will not be practicing with the team on Wednesday. Previously, it was revealed that Jacobs’ injury was not of a season-ending nature, but the coach […]

The NFL salary cap has risen from $182.5 million in 2021 to $279.2 million in 2025, all while the NFL’s teams have figured out a better way to keep hold of their top talent with the use of salary conversions and void years. Because of the lack of stars who have hit the free agent […]

After a bit of a rough broadcast map last week, the Green Bay Packers have a week 12 game that should be widely accessible for large portions of the country. This week they host the Minnesota Vikings to kick off a final seven-week stretch that is dominated by divisional rivalry games, and although it’s another […]

If there’s one thing that can transform the Packers from a low-seeded playoff contender to a bona fide championship unit, it’s the power of automotive sales. Sure, the Packers probably need a little more power than the mileage-conscious mid-size sedans and SUVs most common during Toyotathon, but maybe Jordan Love really catches fire and the […]

With preferred starting center Elgton Jenkins now on the injured reserve, likely to have played his last game with the Green Bay Packers due to his 2026 cap hit, and his injury replacement, Sean Rhyan, on the final year of his rookie contract, many Packers fans are wondering who their center will be in 2026. […]

Early in his time with the Green Bay Packers, head coach Matt LaFleur was desperately trying to find an H-back for this offense. An undersized TE who could still line up in-line, while also functioning as a fullback. A Swiss Army Knife. His Kyle Juszczyk. In 2020, the Packers drafted Josiah Deguara in the 3rd […]
