Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

It’s going to be tough for the Green Bay Packers to spend on outside free agents this offseason, considering the team is currently over the cap and the Packers will need to be extremely mindful of their compensatory pick situation, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein is reporting that Green Bay is at least […]

Over the past two seasons, the Green Bay Packers have made Chris Brooks a key component of their offense and special teams units. The former Cal and BYU runner came to Green Bay early in the 2024 season and has played nearly every game since, serving largely as the team’s pass-protecting running back and an […]

If the Chicago Bears’ defense was one thing in 2026, it was opportunistic. Led by coordinator Dennis Allen, Chicago forced the most turnovers of any team in the NFL with 33, largely driven by a league-leading 23 interceptions. Safety Kevin Byard posted seven of those to lead the NFL on an individual level, while breakout […]

A week from now, the first wave of free agency will basically be over, even though free agency won’t yet have technically begun. The “legal tampering” period opens on Monday (say it with me one more time: if it’s legal, it’s not tampering, and if it’s tampering, it’s not legal), giving teams a free for […]

Here’s a case study on how the Green Bay Packers have manipulated the compensatory draft picks system under Brian Gutekunst, some general thoughts on how the Packers are positioned going into the 2026 free agency cycle and how I think Green Bay should handle the next three or so years. Compensatory draft picks are confusing […]

One of the big questions for those of us on Malik Willis Watch 2026 was whether the Miami Dolphins or the Arizona Cardinals were able to afford to take on the dead cap for the straight releases of Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray, their high-priced quarterbacks. On Tuesday, the Cardinals officially made their decision, as […]

I think it’s safe to say this has been an odd offseason for Matt LaFleur so far. It started with legitimate questions about whether or not he would return to Green Bay for the 2026 season, proceeded to the not-unexpected loss of his defensive coordinator, took a turn toward the absurd when his special teams […]

The Green Bay Packers might want to start looking at Washington Commanders players. The Commanders already released center Tyler Biadasz, a consistently above-average player who Washington simply didn’t want to pay at the negotiated rate for 2026. Now, the Commanders will reportedly also release cornerback Marshon Lattimore, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Lattimore is a former […]

I was combing through the data on our consensus 2026 NFL free agent rankings, which is now up to 26 data points, and decided to look at a different angle today: Players with connections to new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
