Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
I tell you, I’ve seen more frustrating games, but I really can’t remember when (Week 3 of this year, actually). Watching live, this felt like a game where the Green Bay Packers just kept shooting themselves in the foot, and I haven’t seen many stats since then that have suggested otherwise. Looking at this drive […]

After going through the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Carolina Panthers a couple of times, I’ve had a few things stand out to me. Some of those things are good, and some are bad (that’s generally the way all games go). Today, I wanted to focus on something that was of particular interest to […]

The Packers didn’t make any big moves to bolster their roster at this year’s trade deadline, but you’re a living Packers fan, so you’re not surprised by that. True to form, the Packers will work to fix what ails them internally and with small moves that may become available. They’ll try to figure out what […]

This coming week, the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will meet on Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field. Once the pinnacle of pro football broadcasts, Monday Night Football has taken a back seat to the Sunday night broadcast, but it still offers a national broadcast footprint on ESPN and ABC that affords all fans […]

The Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Carolina Panthers was a very painful rewatch, filled with self-inflicted wounds by the Packers. Maybe you don’t want to re-live it, but I had to, to figure out what sort of changes Green Bay made to their depth chart and game plan this weekend. So here is the […]

According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Green Bay Packers remain interested in signing free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., one of the top free agents in last spring’s class who has yet to sign with a team. Samuel has recently been cleared after undergoing a spine fusion this offseason, after playing just four games for […]

Despite the rumors that the Green Bay Packers were interested in a cornerback at the trade deadline, the team made no such trade on Tuesday. With six trades on deadline day, this was the third-most active deadline day in league history. Here’s the sobering reality: Trades are infrequent in the NFL. Below are the trades […]

The Green Bay Packers have signed two players to their practice squad on the day of the NFL trade deadline: tight end McCallan Castles and receiver Michael Woods II. The Packers’ practice squad was already at 16 players, on a 17-man squad, so there will need to be at least one corresponding roster move to […]

At the trade deadline, the Dallas Cowboys traded for New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, which is interesting considering that the team just traded for Kenny Clark this summer and extended Osa Odighizuwa this offseason, but that’s besides the point. What I want to point out here is that the Green Bay Packers’ 2027 […]

The NFL trade deadline is today at 3 p.m. CT. If the Green Bay Packers want to ensure that they’ll have extra talent on the roster for the second half of the season, it will need to be done by then. After the deadline, players can only be released from NFL active rosters, and every […]

After the abysmal showing that the Green Bay Packers put forth on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, it would be reasonable to expect the Packers to be underdogs when facing one of the top teams in the NFC this coming week. However, even though the 6-2 Philadelphia Eagles are coming to town for Monday Night […]

There’s a lot going on in Green Bay right now. Tucker Kraft’s knee is shot, leaving the offense without its most effective player. Nate Hobbs is hurt, leaving the secondary perilously thin (even if Hobbs wasn’t playing particularly well). The offense seems scattershot. The defense can’t stop the run. And on top of all of […]

Green Bay Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs has not been having the year that he hoped to have with the team when he signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers in free agency. First, he injured his knee in the summer and needed meniscus surgery to be ready for the regular season. Since returning […]

This evening, a pair of NFC teams who have started the season rather unimpressively meet to try to take a step back towards contention in their respective divisions. The Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys have reached their current sub-.500 records in different ways, but both are multiple games back of their division leaders as they […]

The Green Bay Packers typically only have players in for workouts on Tuesdays, the day that players usually have off during the week. So it’s out of the norm that the Packers brought in three players on Monday, coming off their loss to the Carolina Panthers. It’s possible that this could be due to the […]

It’s pretty clear at this point that the Green Bay Packers will let their outside cornerback battle continue until a clear victor has been named. After the Pittsburgh Steelers game, head coach Matt LaFleur said that the team will consider all options, including moving Keisean Nixon out of a full-time role. While we haven’t seen […]

Over the past couple of weeks, teams have really limited the Green Bay Packers’ ability to push the ball downfield. After games, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur repeatedly has stated that deep zone coverage schemes are the reason why quarterback Jordan Love consistently takes checkdowns on multi-level passing concepts and why the team calls so […]

After the last two games, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has tried to downplay the quad injury that kicker Brandon McManus has dealt with this season. McManus missed two games with the quad issue, but returned to the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers two weekends ago. Since returning to the field, he’s missed […]

The Green Bay Packers announced on Monday that the team has released linebacker Kristian Welch, which is a surprise. Already, the Packers are going to gain an extra roster spot on the 53-man roster because tight end Tucker Kraft will eventually go on the injured reserve with a torn ACL. Beyond that, Welch was released […]

4th down decision making is, in general, a proxy for a football coach’s overall aggressiveness. In today’s NFL, it is the one area where a head coach ultimately has the sole responsibility for a major decision, and there is more data than ever available for coaches to put to use in order to evaluate a […]

When the Green Bay Packers made the blockbuster trade for Micah Parsons, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cited the acquisition of Kenny Clark as an important one for his defense to be able to stop the run. Although the Packers don’t regret trading for a Hall of Fame-caliber pass rusher, there’s a sliver of truth […]

8 games, 32 receptions, 489 yards, and six touchdowns. That will be the final statistics on Tucker Kraft’s 2025 season. On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers’ budding star tight end suffered a knee injury that knocked him out of the team’s game against the Carolina Panthers, and the extent of that injury was confirmed on […]

Right now, we’re awaiting confirmation of what feels inevitable: Tucker Kraft has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Ian Rapoport tweeted yesterday that the Packers fear that is the case, and I don’t think we have any reason to assume otherwise. That means the Packers are going to have to […]
