Latest news and updates about the Packers
The Green Bay Packers are choosing to move forward with Kyle McCord over Desmond Ridder, as far as their reserve-futures quarterbacks go. According to Tom Pelissero, Ridder has been released by the Packers, who just signed Tyrod Taylor on Monday. With the addition of Taylor, the Packers were up to five quarterbacks, a huge number. […]
The Green Bay Packers had an extra roster spot open following rookie minicamp, as the team didn’t sign a single tryout player after tight end Eni Falayi dropped off the roster. With that open roster spot, the Packers chose to sign a backup quarterback on Monday in Tyrod Taylor, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Taylor […]
The Winnipegger goes from a nominee to finalist.
The Los Angeles Rams’ three-year playoff streak has shown that the team, while getting closer every season, has struggled to break its ceiling. Are the Rams actually getting closer to a third Super Bowl title, or are they destined to stay stuck in one place as the Packers had towards the end of the Aaron […]
That’s two practices down, and a whole lot more to go. The Green Bay Packers closed down rookie minicamp on Saturday after a pair of practices that allowed the coaching staff to get to know the team’s rookie class. As always, it’s more orientation for the players than any substantial scheme installation, but that doesn’t […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Former Bears WR Chase Claypool tries to reboot career at Packers’ rookie minicamp Two names I would be happy to never hear again, Claypool and Packers. Bears take training wheels off QB Caleb Williams heading into Year 3 Good. It’s hard to run with wheels attached to your shoes. What […]
Northwestern Wildcats football fans knew Caleb Tiernan was going to be drafted, but we didn’t know Evan Beernsten would! Both guys will continue wearing purple as each of them went to one of the two NFL teams that features this distinctive color. Tiernan went in the third round, with the No. 97 pick, to the […] The post Caleb Tiernan, Evan Beernsten Move Northwestern Closer to 200 All-Time NFL Draft Picks appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The Green Bay Packers are officially underway with rookie minicamp for 2026, with practices taking place Friday and Saturday this weekend. The team’s draft picks and rookie free agent signings are all in town and have already put their first practice in the books, with the session starting earlier today. As usual, the minicamp roster […]
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is making an NFL comeback. The former second round pick has been invited to Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp for a tryout, per Matt Schneidman. Claypool was drafted by the Steelers in 2020 and had an electrifying rookie season, catching 62 passes for 873 yards and nine touchdowns. […]
Every year, the lead-up to the draft feels like it takes forever. Then, draft weekend arrives, and the three-day process flies by in the blink of an eye. The 2026 NFL Draft was no different, and for all four teams in the NFC North, the emphasis on improving and separating themselves from the other teams […]
Today is another important milestone for the Green Bay Packers in the start of their preparations for the 2026 season. Rookie minicamp opens today, giving the Packers’ six draft picks, their reported undrafted free agent players, and a host of tryout invitees their first chance to impress the team’s coaching staff and front office. Because […]
After Green Bay Packers fans waited patiently on Thursday of the 2026 NFL Draft, they were gifted with a cornerback with the 52nd overall pick, as general manager Brian Gutekunst selected Brandon Cisse out of South Carolina. The move is one Packers fans had been clamoring for, hoping for an opportunity to bolster the secondary […]
According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Green Bay Packers will be picking up edge rusher Lukas Van Ness’ fifth-year option, which means he will make $13.8 million in guaranteed money in 2027. This was an expected move, as the edge rusher market has moved in recent years, putting Van Ness’ 2027 figure in the […]
Patience is an overused sports cliché. It’s also an unavoidable truth. Just ask Micah Parsons, who has reframed his ACL recovery not as a race back to dominance, but as a deliberate exercise in mindset. Talking recently with SI’s Bill Huber, Parsons distilled the experience into a simple idea: “you’ve got to walk before you […]
The draft has come and gone and now my favorite part of the cycle starts: digging into all the new bright, shiny toys and seeing how they may fit on the team. Today, we’re taking a look at Dani Dennis-Sutton, the edge rusher from Penn State. His RAS paints a pretty clear picture: a big […]
Most of the Packers’ ambitions for the 2026 NFL Draft were already tied up in the prodigious talents of Micah Parsons. We’ve known that since they made the uncharacteristically bold move to free the formerly disgruntled pass rusher from the clutches of the Dallas Cowboys. But that’s not to say the Packers had a quiet […]
Yearly, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick puts out a list of late-round picks for each NFL team who he feels have a chance to become a key contributor quickly. I look forward to seeing the list because, for my money, Riddick is one of the most astute analysts working. He is a former player and front-office […]
For 21 consecutive seasons, the Green Bay Packers have had an undrafted rookie make the team’s Week 1 roster, so chances are that at least one of the players that Green Bay signed after the draft will make the team in 2026. We’re opening up the floor for your guesses on who that player will […]
Officially, the Green Bay Packers gave Jayden Reed a three-year, $50.25 million contract extension when the deal was submitted to the league. This move was reported five days ago, but the details of the contract have only just become public. As reported originally, he earned $20 million in full guarantees, $16.5 million of which comes […]
For fans, the NFL Draft is the finish line. For the Packers, it’s more like the starting gun. All of the weeks and weeks (and months and months) of work the Packers’ personnel department did to put together their draft board and then execute their vision did little more than reward them with more work […]
It’s that time of the year. The Green Bay Packers have until May 1st to decide whether or not to pick up the fifth-year option of 2023 first-round draft pick Lukas Van Ness. Van Ness, who is the same age as many draft picks from the 2026 draft, was taken 13th overall in the 2023 […]
Personally, I think the Green Bay Packers did a pretty good job in the 2026 draft, considering they did not have a first-round pick. Dani Dennis-Sutton in the fourth round and Domani Jackson in the sixth round were two of the better value selections in the class to me, and they grabbed the top-ranked (healthy) […]
Let’s get the obvious take out of the way: draft grades are worthless for at least three years (I’d say even as long as five). Trying to figure out if any team, the Packers or otherwise, did well on draft weekend while we’re less than a week removed from draft weekend is pointless. That said, […]
Now that the actual NFL Draft has come and gone, let’s take one more look back at our predictions for how it would go down. For the purposes of this exercise, a correct draft position prediction for a player (within one spot) is worth one point, a correct team-player combo prediction is worth three points, […]
The Green Bay Packers’ class of selections in the 2026 NFL Draft was their smallest in more than 20 years, as the team traded up twice on draft weekend to end with just six picks. However, those picks hit on numerous critical positions of need, particularly on defense. General manager Brian Gutekunst addressed the cornerback […]
