Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Packers are broadly expected to invest some of their capital in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft in their secondary, and for good reason. Even with the acquisition of Benjamin St-Juste, the Packers could badly use some depth at cornerback, in addition to some help at the top end of the depth chart. Basically they […]
Few roles in an NFL franchise draw as much criticism as the general manager, and few teams’ fan bases criticize the GM more than the Green Bay Packers. The expectations are high for this franchise and for its front office, and rightfully so, but one recent analysis shows that the Packers are the best-drafting team […]
Brian Gutekunst has now been the Packers’ general manager for nearly a decade. 2026 will be his ninth draft as GM, and if you needed any more evidence that you’re getting old, here’s a sobering fact: the Packers have now completely cycled two full Gutekunst draft classes on and off the roster. Last year the […]
The Green Bay Packers have been giving hints that the team will return to a 3-4 base defense in 2026 under new coordinator Jonathan Gannon, but the team’s coaching announcements on Thursday all but locked that in place. When announcing the team’s full coaching staff for the coming season, a subtle piece of information that […]
Months after other teams have made their official staff announcements for the 2026 season, the Green Bay Packers have officially finalized their coaching staff for the upcoming season. Let’s break down the new offensive, defensive and special teams staff. Offensive Staff Former Packers quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy returned to the team […]
According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Green Bay Packers will hire T.C. McCartney to the team’s coaching staff for the 2026 season. His role at this point is undefined, other than “offensive assistant.” The former backup quarterback at LSU entered the coaching world immediately after his playing days and got his start with the […]
Regardless of how you felt about Rashan Gary’s performance in 2025 (here, maybe this will JOG your memory), trading him to the Dallas Cowboys does leave a clear roster hole. The Packers still have Micah Parsons and Lukas Van Ness, but they need another capable pass rusher if they want to try and progress in […]
I was scrolling through BlueSky on Wednesday morning when I came across this post from Mike Tanier, which sort of threw me for a loop. And this even more so. And by the way, I like and respect Mike and always read his stuff (and you should too), but this level of criticism for what […]
All while the NFL is renegotiating broadcast deals to secure a 50 percent increase in broadcast fees, it is starting a war with the NFL Referees Association. According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN, the league “is laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season.” If you’ll remember, the NFL last did this back in 2012, […]
According to Over The Cap, the Green Bay Packers currently have $23.5 million in cap space this offseason, and they are expected to have $67.5 million in cap space in the 2027 season. Whatever goes unused in 2026, which at this point could be in the $13.7 million range, will be added to their 2027 […]
Free agency has come and gone (well, not really — you can still sign whoever you want, but you get it), and we’re now in the season of free agency grades. Never mind that nobody knows how these players will fit with their new teams. Never mind that every free agent signing will be augmented […]
Former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman JC Tretter, who earned a degree in Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell, was elected the executive director of the NFLPA on Tuesday, making Tretter the first former player to lead the union since Gene Upshaw (1983 to 2008). Tretter is now the third executive director that the NFLPA […]
It’s been a month since our last mock draft round-up, and free agency has changed some things for the Green Bay Packers. With that in mind, let’s check out who analysts have the Packers taking at the top of the draft, now that the clubs have had added or lost talent during this free agency […]
The new NFL league year is less than a week old. Have we figured out the 2026 Packers yet? Obviously not, but we’re well on our way. The Packers made a series of fairly conservative moves leading up to and during the league’s (deep sigh) “legal tampering” period, shoring up depth at linebacker, cornerback, and […]
We’re sort of transitioning out of free agency here and into draft mode, considering that the free agent market has slowed down and the Green Bay Packers clearly want to collect their compensatory picks for 2027. If there are some cap casualties down the line, I could see the Packers making a move, but I […]
If you need a little help finding a rooting interest for this year’s tournament, we took the time to find all of the Green Bay Packers connections between the team’s current roster and the colleges participating in March Madness this year. I’m not much of a college basketball guy myself, but I’m going to try […]
Since the Green Bay Packers traded for their new projected starting Mike linebacker Zaire Franklin, he had no remaining guarantees left on his deal. In theory, he could have been a very flexible piece for the Packers this summer, as they could have chosen to move off him, via a release or trade, before his […]
The further we get in this series, the easier the posts are to write. Part of that is finding a bit of a groove in terms of how I want to present the information, but the other (more obvious) part is that there are fewer plays in these sections. We had 22 plays in 1st […]
While NFL players and their agents work hard to get big contracts during free agency in March, another program exists to help some of the highest-performing but lowest-earning players get a little bit of extra cash. That is the Performance-Based Pay program, a collectively-bargained system that helps send more money to players who play well […]
Did the Green Bay Packers have a successful first week of free agency? That’s the question that will be on the minds of Packers fans and media members alike for the next few days. The answer, of course, depends on how you prefer to evaluate a set of acquisitions. The Packers, of course, put a […]
The NFL Players’ Association announced that four members of its executive committee have been replaced after the union’s most recent elections. Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus remains a vice president on the executive committee. Joining him this time around on the 10-man committee is new Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin, who previously served as the […]
Here’s a fun one. Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Micah Parsons took to Twitter to react to a graphic ESPN ran the night of the Maxx Crosby trade, which is now off, claiming that Crosby had more quarterback pressures than any other player in the league since 2019. Parsons, correctly, pointed out that he wasn’t even […]
As we wrote earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers had an opportunity to move off of kicker Brandon McManus, if they really wanted to. Based on their actions on Friday, they don’t want to. On March 13th, McManus was due a $1 million signing bonus. Usually, the timing of signing bonuses can be a […]
Things are quieting down on the free agency market. While there are plenty of projected top-200 free agents still available to sign, and teams have nearly a collective billion dollars left in available cap space, per Over The Cap’s latest projections, clubs are now turning their attention to another matter: internal restructures. If you’ve been […]
According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, who covers the Indianapolis Colts, 2023 fourth overall pick quarterback Anthony Richardson, who lost the starting job to Daniel Jones in 2025, is available to trade. Per Holder, “one particular team to monitor” is the Green Bay Packers, who need a new backup quarterback in 2026 after Malik Willis signed […]
