Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Shoutout to LLCHESTY, who asked an interesting question in the comment section of a previous article covering some potential special teams coordinator candidates to replace Rich Bisaccia, now that he’s left his post with the Green Bay Packers: Hey Justis, do you know if any teams use a kicking coach? With the expansion of coaching […]

I’ve now added 17 lists of free agency rankings to our consensus free agency board, and something is becoming increasingly clear: The most polarizing player in 2026 is Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker. I don’t want to turn this into a math lesson, but just know that the larger the standard deviation is for […]

The Green Bay Packers still may be a candidate to give up a home game for an international game in 2026, but they now know that if they do travel to a different country, they will do so for a game in Europe. The NFL has announced teams participating in three of the international games […]

Those who wanted Rich Bisaccia fired got what they wanted. Sort of. I guess. By hook or by crook, Bisaccia is out in Green Bay. He’s done. The man hired to fix the Packers’ special teams but didn’t will now go off to do whatever former special teams coaches do in retirement. Is that a […]

Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia stepped down on Tuesday, to the surprise of many, as all 11 of the other special teams coordinator vacancies around the league had already been filled this offseason. To put this simply, it’s not great to start a coaching search for any vacancy in mid-February, a week […]

Rich Bisaccia is out of a job with the Green Bay Packers. Today, I want to construct a statistical analysis of the Packers’ remaining options to replace Bisaccia. Bisaccia stepped away from his post in Green Bay after the other 11 vacancies league-wide were already filled. Among those 11 “new” hires, 8 of them held […]

Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Rich Bisaccia just stepped down from his position with the team. Based on the timing of this happening on February 17th, after several teams with new head coaches have already announced their full staffs for the 2026 season, I’m going to guess that the Packers […]

Green Bay Packers fans who have been clamoring for a change in leadership on special teams: you’re getting your wish. First reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and shortly thereafter confirmed by the Packers’ official social media account, Rich Bisaccia is stepping down from his post as the Packers’ special teams coordinator. Bisaccia has […]

Former Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy will be inducted into the Wisconsin Athletics Hall of Fame this summer as part of the 2026 class. Murphy, 70, spent 17 years as President and CEO of the Packers before retiring last summer after reaching the mandatory retirement age set by the team. Under Murphy, […]

ESPN’s Matt Bowen updated his top-50 free agents currently set to hit the 2026 market, and he included the best team fits for each one of these individual players, too. One of these players, cornerback Greg Newsome II, was given the Green Bay Packers as his best fit, according to Bowen. Here’s what he had […]

Free agency is bearing down on us. A wave of veteran releases began to break yesterday, the franchise tag window opens today, and teams are gearing up for the annual big spend. The Packers, of course, can’t spend richly this spring, but if they make a few of the expected moves to get their cap […]

I’ve made a consensus board of 14 different free agency rankings, which range from top-25s to lists that go on for hundreds of names. Why? Because I wanted to get a handle on what the perception of the 2026 NFL free agency class looks like, and I’m not sure there’s a singular data point that […]

Here’s a fun one I want to throw out there. After publishing our Mock Offseason 2.0, I got some questions about addressing the tight end and linebacker positions, which I understand, but I don’t necessarily believe are must-add positions in the draft if depth is brought back. So here’s what I want to ask you […]

The Green Bay Packers traded away their projected starting nose tackle, Kenny Clar,k in the Micah Parsons trade last August. Clark was expected to be a one-year stopgap for the Dallas Cowboys, simply because of the way his contract was laid out. As it stands right now, he is due $21.5 million in cash in […]

The Green Bay Packers had their share of issues during the 2025 season, but one thing stood out as an encouraging part of their performance throughout last season. Although there were a few issues by individual players, the Packers’ defense, on the whole, tackled very well all year. That was the case even through injuries, […]

It’s been a month, so let’s take another crack at a mock offseason. This one will be shorter than our Mock Offseason 1.0, only because we’ve touched on some of these overarching topics before. With that being said, I would like to make some changes to our current free agency and draft projections in comparison […]

With the hirings made on Sunday morning, the NFL’s offensive play-callers are now set for the 2026 season. As it stands now, there are 18 head coaches who double up as offensive play-callers in the league, 6 who double up as defensive play-callers and just 8 teams that are willing to live in the head-coach-as-CEO […]

The Green Bay Packers are almost certainly going to take a cornerback in the 2026 draft, if not to replace Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine or Nate Hobbs in 2026, then to replace the expiring contracts of Nixon, Valentine, Bo Melton and Kamal Hadden in 2027. Nixon, Valentine and Hadden are going into the final year […]

The lone on-field coach who remains on the Green Bay Packers’ defensive staff from the 2025 season is defensive line coach/run game coordinator DeMarcus Covington. There’s a chance he doesn’t even make the initial 2026 staff announcement, though, as the Las Vegas Raiders are interviewing him for their defensive coordinator opening, per NFL.com. The Packers […]

Nobody’s going to come out and tell you Brandon McManus had some kind of secretly good season in 2025. Kicker analysis is about as binary as it gets in football: did you make the ball go between the tall yellow things or not? Far too often in 2025, because of injuries or otherwise, McManus failed […]

Here’s something I’ve been thinking about asking Green Bay Packers fans: Would you redo the Matthew Golden pick if you had the chance? Generally, I think Packers fans are disappointed in Golden’s production, but not necessarily the player. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d like to hear you guys out on this one. If you need […]

Christian Watson has always been a little bit behind the eight ball in Green Bay. For starters, life is never going to be easy when you’re drafted essentially as the one-to-one replacement for a future Hall of Famer, but that’s what Watson walked into when the Packers took him in the spring of 2022, using […]

The three biggest needs for the Green Bay Packers this offseason are center, nose tackle and cornerback, in some order. We already touched on what the free agent market looks like at the cornerback position, so today I want to hit on nose tackle. Here’s why the Packers need a nose tackle: Packers nose tackle […]

This is not a love letter. It’s more of a like letter. Among Green Bay Packers fans, tight end Luke Musgrave has been a bit of a punching bag. He’s the guy who “falls down after every catch,” the draft pick forever tied to Tucker Kraft. And in that comparison, Musgrave loses every time. But […]

For a guy who only took 21 sacks during the 2025 regular season, Jordan Love sure is taking some hits this offseason. Venerable beat writer Tom Silverstein was among the first to offer pointed criticism of Love, saying in a podcast that he’d prefer Caleb Williams to Love. Then, more recently, Mike Tanier of the […]
