Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Our cap casualty series continues today with Elgton Jenkins. Heading into his age-31 season, will Jenkins be a part of the Green Bay Packers? Let’s find out. Jenkins was one of general manager Brian Gutekunst’s earliest and most successful draft picks. After grabbing Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage in the first round of the 2019 […]
The Green Bay Packers came into the 2025 season with two starting receivers on the final years of their contracts: Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. Both were taken in the 2022 draft, with Watson taken 34th overall and Doubs drafted 132nd. Before Watson ever returned from his ACL tear that he suffered in the 2024 […]
For the third time in the Matt LaFleur era, the Packers are on the hunt for a defensive coordinator. LaFleur walked into the Packers’ job with an arranged marriage to Mike Pettine, but he’s had two opportunities since to hire his own man. The first one came down to a choice between Jim Leonhard, Joe […]
Shoutout to captainlou10 from the comment section for the inspiration for this discussion post. He asked a great question on Tuesday night: “If all potential DCs were equal, what type of defensive system best suits our current personnel?” Here’s how I feel about the situation: We already don’t have enough quality interior defensive linemen to run a […]
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. […]
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Green Bay Packers will be interviewing former Arizona Cardinals head coach and Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon for the team’s defensive coordinator vacancy this week. The Packers currently don’t have a defensive coordinator, as Jeff Hafley took the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching position. Gannon is the third […]
One of the biggest power brokers in the NFL, besides Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, is New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. On Tuesday, he sat down with 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston to talk about the future of the league. In the interview, he claimed that the league is expecting to move to […]
Wow, what a ride it was. Someday, Trevon Diggs may be the answer to an obscure trivia question regarding the Green Bay Packers. After the Dallas Cowboys unceremoniously waived the former All-Pro cornerback late this season, the Packers picked up Diggs on waivers, paying the remainder of his base salary for the final week of […]
Alright, so the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 defensive coordinator search is underway. With Jeff Hafley in Miami, the Packers’ biggest move this offseason, considering their draft capital and salary cap situation, will likely be finding Hafley’s replacement. So far, we know that two candidates are going to interview for the job: Minnesota’s Daronte Jones and […]
Welcome to the end of the Jeff Hafley era. Matt LaFleur is newly re-signed in Green Bay, but already he faces a big challenge: replacing Hafley as the Packers’ defensive coordinator. Hafley, the darkest of dark horse candidates when he was hired in 2024, leaves some big shoes to fill, especially as the Packers look […]
Now that Jeff Hafley is officially headed to south Florida to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, the Green Bay Packers are well and truly kicking off their search for a new defensive coordinator. One day after new broke that Eagles assistant Christian Parker will interview for the job, the Packers have identified […]
Tuesday morning has arrived, and another NFL team has decided on its new head coach. Overnight, the Tennessee Titans locked in on Robert Saleh, the former New York Jets head coach and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator, to lead them into the future. Saleh’s will be the fourth new hire of this year’s head coaching […]
The Green Bay Packers will interview Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker for their defensive coordinator vacancy, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. According to Schultz, Parker is set to interview with the Dallas Cowboys for their defensive coordinator job on Wednesday and then “head straight to Green Bay afterward.” […]
The Green Bay Packers will need a new defensive coordinator in 2026. On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Miami Dolphins will be hiring Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to be the team’s next head coach, following the firing of Mike McDaniel earlier this offseason. The Dolphins also made a change at general manager, […]
One of the first coordinators to be hired this cycle was not a particularly hot name on the market. Everyone and their mother wants former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to call offensive plays for their team next year, but that enthusiasm never built around Drew Petzing, who, like head coach Jonathan Gannon, was […]
This past weekend brought Green Bay Packers fans two major positive pieces of news. The first is that the waiting to find out about head coach Matt LaFleur’s future is over, as he signed his new contract extension on Saturday. The second, of course, is that the Chicago Bears lost on Sunday night, as the […]
One of my favorite stats to check after the regular season is over is which NFL teams won a bunch (or lost a bunch) of close games. Why? Because, to tell you the truth, no one has really figured out how to win close games consistently in this league. For the most part, your record […]
In the press conference leading up to the College Football Playoff National Championship, Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti was asked whether he would ever leave for an NFL job, despite Cignetti having a $15 million buyout (cost to poach) and $93 million in guarantees in his most recent extension. Obviously, Cignetti was never going to […]
The all-star game slate starts this week as the American Bowl began practices on Sunday. After two practices and a walkthrough, the American Bowl will be broadcast on Thursday, January 22nd, on NFL Network at 7 pm CT. The game will be coached by a mostly veteran staff, as Brian Billick’s Warhawks will be taking […]
Hidden in the reporting from the Athletic’s Dianna Russini and Matt Schneidman on the Green Bay Packers bringing back head coach Matt LaFleur is this quote: “In their recent meetings, [president and CEO Ed] Policy didn’t mandate LaFleur make changes with his staff, and a source said neither [general manager Brian] Gutekunst nor [executive vice […]
Green Bay Packers fans saw their team bomb out of the playoffs last Saturday, giving up 25 fourth-quarter points to the Chicago Bears in a brutal 31-27 loss. With that result, the Bears advanced to this weekend’s Divisional Playoffs, where they face a Los Angeles Rams team that is, in the eyes of many NFL […]
It has long been wondered if new Green Bay Packers president and CEO Ed Policy would change his stance on the organization’s structure. Before 2018, the year Brian Gutekunst replaced Ted Thompson as general manager, the head coach reported to the general manager, who in turn reported directly to the president and CEO. Many speculated […]
After a few days of drama, the deal is done to ensure that Matt LaFleur will remain the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. LaFleur and the franchise, led by President/CEO Ed Policy, have agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in that role for the foreseeable future. LaFleur’s previous contract was […]
Green Bay Packers fans will have to wait until Sunday of the NFL Divisional Playoffs to see if the Chicago Bears’ season comes to an end. Chicago hosts the Los Angeles Rams in the final game of Divisional weekend, with Saturday instead featuring both #1 seeds in action against their conferences’ #6 teams. First up […]
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley “has emerged as a frontrunner” for the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching vacancy. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, considering that Hafley is one of the hottest names on the coaching market. As of now, he’s been requested to interview or has […]
