The Packers are playing some interesting financial games
The Packers’ way of doing business is so dyed-in-the-wool it’s hard not to notice when they’re doing things differently. And sometimes different feels bad. Weird. Uncomfortable. Reckless, even. Especially when money’s involved. First, the Packers spent $500,000 just for a look at Trevon Diggs, the former All-Pro cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. One meaningless regular […]
You probably shouldn’t worry whether or not Trey Smack can kick in the cold
The Packers have both a new special teams coordinator and a new kicker. Naturally, one is going to get questions about the other. And since the new kicker most recently did the bulk of the kicking in the historically balmy state of Florida, people want to know whether or not he can make the transition […]
Packers Rookie Film Review: Jager Burton
We’re continuing our deep dive into the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 draft. Previously, I have written about Dani Dennis-Sutton and RJ Maryland. Today, we’re taking a look at Jager Burton, a center out of the University of Kentucky. As you might expect, his RAS is about what you’d expect from the Packers. For a center, […]
Packers’ rest differential in 2026 schedule balances out fairly evenly
When the Green Bay Packers play out their 2026 schedule, they will do so with one of the most bizarre and unusual slates of games of any team in recent memory. The Packers have a glut of strange weeks, and only occasionally do they play on back-to-back Sundays. In total, Green Bay will play on […]
Green Bay Packers News: The schedule is here and it’s spectacular
Except for those fans who absolutely hate prime time games, the Green Bay Packers’ fan base should be very pleased with how the team’s 2026 schedule sets up. Yes, the Packers are set to play one of the toughest slates of games of any team in 2026 based on their opponents’ combined winning percentage from […]
Packers Schedule: Green Bay catches a break with schedule, expected Micah Parsons return
The Green Bay Packers’ full schedule release has dropped, and as we noted at the time, the Packers got a relatively easy schedule before Week 5. That’s a notable week, because it will be the week that players who return from the physically unable to perform list are first able to return to the field […]
Green Bay Packers’ full 2026 schedule leaks
An hour before the NFL was set to begin its schedule release, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was able to report the full Green Bay Packers schedule, along with their kickoff times and the channels that they’ll be playing on. Prior to Yates’ report, we only had about half of the Packers’ 2026 […]
Packers fail TE Luke Lachey’s physical
Tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up off waivers on Tuesday, had his physical failed by the team on Thursday and is now a free agent. Lachey, a Y tight end, was the type of tight end that the Packers’ room was missing. After the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted […]
The NFL’s schedule release is more than just a list
Before we get started, yes, it is ridiculous that the NFL turns the RELEASE of the SCHEDULE into some big hairy deal that you will watch on TV. In the universal perspective, nothing could be more banal than the release of a list that is already made and out there! However… The NFL schedule is […]
Packers reportedly to play Bears on Christmas Day in 2nd Netflix game
Green Bay Packers fans had better get their Netflix subscriptions renewed for the 2026 season. On Thursday morning, a little less than 12 hours before the full 2026 NFL schedule was released, a leak has been reported that the Packers will have a second game broadcast on the streaming platform around a major holiday. The […]
Green Bay Packers News: The Packers are a test case for streaming
It’s schedule release day — or as my podcast cohost Alex Petakas sarcastically refers to it: “the day we learn the days.” No doubt you’ll be inundated with schedule-related content, so I thought I’d offer a slightly different take on a related topic. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that the Packers will face the Los Angeles […]
Packers claim Jerry Rice’s son on waivers
The Green Bay Packers continue to change up their offseason roster this week. Previously, the team added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback M.J. Devonshire off waivers. On Wednesday, the Packers were awarded receiver Brenden Rice, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, from the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice originally enrolled at Colorado […]
Packers 2026 Schedule Release Rumor Tracker
The NFL announcement inception has finally begun for the 2026 schedule release. The league has formally revealed the date on which the league’s 2026 schedule will be announced, with the whole thing set for this Thursday, May 14. On that date, fans will finally know the dates, times, and locations of every game for the […]
Packers to debut new NFL timeslot
On Wednesday, Netflix announced that its Thanksgiving Eve game, a 7 pm CT kickoff on Wednesday, November 25th, will be a contest between the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood. This is the first Thanksgiving Eve game, a new timeslot for the league, and it’ll be interesting to see how the league […]
Packers will not be playing internationally in 2026
As part of the NFL’s slow-dripping of its schedule release, the league announced its full international schedule on Wednesday. Based on the slate of home teams, the final possibilities for the Green Bay Packers to play globally in 2026 were either as the road team against the Detroit Lions (Germany) or New Orleans Saints (France). […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Packers banking on internal improvement again
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Packers are going to need a lot of internal growth to reach their full potential this year. Yes, that’s the case for every team, and yes, that’s often the case for the Packers, but it seems to especially be the case this year. The Packers […]
Green Bay Packers add 2 players off waivers, roster full
Well…that was quick. A couple of hours after asking you which position groups the Green Bay Packers should add to, the Packers claimed two players off waivers. Green Bay added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback MJ Devonshire. With these additions, the Packers’ roster is now full. The two vacancies were created when tight end […]
Packers Discussion: Where should the team add?
With the release of kicker Brandon McManus, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster currently sits at 89 players, including their international exemption for defender Dante Barnett. Right now, the Packers have two open roster spots available, which makes the team’s release of McManus and their non-signing of any tryout players after rookie minicamp even more […]
Packers UDFA has more guaranteed money than draft picks
Cap guru Ken Ingalls has reported some of the Green Bay Packers’ top guarantees for their undrafted free agents in the 2026 class. According to Ingalls, edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly received $247,500 in guarantees, followed by offensive linemen Josh Gesky ($200,000), receiver J. Michael Sturdivant ($200,000) and linebacker TJ Quinn ($150,000). Reporting has also dropped […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Just release the schedule already!
Among the many dumb things on the NFL calendar, “schedule release week” is right up there at the top. Why does this need to be dragged out over multiple days? The schedule is finished. It’s done. The league knows when all the games are going to be played. No last minute details are being hammered […]
Packers Discussion: What are you hoping Green Bay’s schedule looks like?
The NFL announced today that it’ll be releasing its full slate of games for the 2026 season on Thursday. Until then, you’re going to hear a lot of rumors about the Green Bay Packers and their upcoming schedule. Here’s our schedule tracker, where you can find all those rumors in one place. Here’s my question […]
Green Bay Packers News: Trade up for Trey Smack carries financial cost
For better or worse, the Green Bay Packers’ decision to trade a pair of seventh-round draft picks had some knock-on effects that will affect the team’s salary cap sheet in 2026. A few weeks ago, towards the end of the 2026 NFL Draft, General manager Brian Gutekunst sent both of his 7th-round selections to Seattle […]
Who will help the Packers replace Romeo Doubs on money downs?
Romeo Doubs’ departure isn’t really about his volume numbers. Sure, he led the Packers in targets, receptions, and yards, but all of those numbers come with caveats. He was more than 100 yards behind Tucker Kraft when Kraft was lost for the season, and Doubs’ target share cratered pretty much the instant Christian Watson made […]
Packers release kicker Brandon McManus
Well, looks like there won’t be a kicking battle in training camp after all. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers have released kicker Brandon McManus, ending his tenure with the team after two seasons. McManus was on thin ice after ending the season with his worst game of 2025, missing a […]
Packers Rookie Film Review: RJ Maryland
Last week, we dug into Dani Dennis-Sutton, the Green Bay Packers 4th round pick in the 2026 draft. Today we’re going a little further down the list and taking a look at one of the undrafted free agents the Packers brought in. The Packers stayed out of the run of tight ends taken in the […]
