Green Bay Packers president and CEO Ed Policy dropped some hints on what the Packers’ new Rivalries jerseys will look like in his recent monthly column.

Packers Draft: Green Bay to bring in top small school cornerback for visit

According to long-time NFL draft analyst Tony Pauline, the Green Bay Packers will be one of five teams that will host Stephen F. Austin cornerback Charles Demmings for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers, at least post-pandemic, have leaned heavily on pre-draft visitors on draft day. Demmings has an interesting background and reasoning for why […]

Packers’ offseason workout & minicamp schedule set for 2026

Impressively, the Green Bay Packers are only a little more than two weeks away from the start of offseason workouts. The NFL released the dates of all of its teams’ offseason programs on Friday afternoon, with several teams set to begin next week. Teams starting on Monday or Tuesday are those with new head coaches, […]

Green Bay Packers News: Packers still quietly need a running back

All of the roster and Draft talk around the Green Bay Packers in the last few weeks has seemed to circle around a couple of positions. Nose tackle is still a big need, and the team could definitely use help at cornerback. The wide receiver position remains fascinating as well, as the team might still […]

The Packers were interested in signing Kirk Cousins

On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders signed Kirk Cousins to an odd contract, with a bunch of fluff added to it, for him to be their bridge quarterback, presumably so that Fernando Mendoza doesn’t have to start all 17 games as a rookie in 2026. On paper, Cousins signed a five-year, $172 million deal, but […]

Thursday Cheese Curds: 2026 Packers are a work in progress

The Packers have drawn some criticism for the way they’ve handled their offseason so far. Personally, most of the criticism doesn’t really land; I think what the Packers have done makes sense and really couldn’t have played out much differently. There wasn’t much reason to keep most of the free agents who left (or those […]

Matt LaFleur is repeating some of Mike McCarthy’s last words

The human brain wants to see patterns. It’s hardwired into us, and for good reason: seeing patterns keeps us alive. Ever since the first humans were hunting and gathering, we’ve relied on pattern recognition to keep us safe and fed. Here are those bushes where we found those tasty berries before; keep an eye out […]

Packers Discussion: Who do you want at pick #52?

Now that it’s officially the month of the draft, it’s time to lay it all out there: Who do you want the Green Bay Packers to draft with their first pick of the draft? The Packers won’t be picking until the 52nd overall selection, because they traded their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks in the […]

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Ed Policy speaks at NFL Annual Meeting

The NFL’s Annual Meeting in Phoenix is a good reminder of one thing: we’re not far into the Ed Policy era, but he’s already had a lot to navigate. Since Policy took over, the Packers made a major trade and made significant decisions about the future of their front office and their coaching staff, all […]

The NFL is done with overlapping MNF games

Don’t expect the NFL to have overlapping Monday Night Football games moving forward, which has occasionally happened in recent years. According to Hans Schroeder, NFL Media’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, that era of the league is behind them. “This speaks to another theme of how we’re always talking to our partners,” Schroeder […]

The Packers will spend one of their Top 30 visits on Texas Tech edge rusher Romello Height, according to a report from NFL writer Ryan Fowler.

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Gutekunst and LaFleur weigh in on Packers offseason

The Packers panopticon has turned to Phoenix, where Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur spoke to the media in between work at the annual NFL owners meetings this week. Mostly, you can ignore these updates. It’s usually a lot of happy talk and company-line talking points. We’re happy with our offseason so far, we’re going to […]

The Packers tried to trade for Zaire Franklin in the past

The Green Bay Packers have had their eyes on linebacker Zaire Franklin for some time now, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Gutekunst spoke to the press at the NFL league meetings this week, which included this quote about Franklin (h/t The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman): We’ve liked Zaire for a while. Quite frankly, back when […]

Packers Cap: Devonte Wyatt extension is ‘likely to happen’

Beyond just extensions for tight end Tucker Kraft and receiver Christian Watson, which seem like no-brainers at this point, the Green Bay Packers are apparently eyeing another big extension in the near future. In his article covering the Packers’ current cap situation, here’s what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein had to say about defensive […]

Ted Hurst looks like a legitimate Packers draft target

The Green Bay Packers are heading towards the 2026 NFL Draft with a packed wide receiver room, but Georgia State wideout Ted Hurst has drawn some attention from general manager Brian Gutekunst and the team’s scouting department. Hurst was the first reported pre-draft official visit by the Packers, which comes as a bit of a […]

Matt LaFleur said some Packers players were unhappy with roles in 2025

For all of the hand-wringing about the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 offseason, one thing is clear: the team was content to move on from several players who were key members of the roster in 2025. The departures of Romeo Doubs, Quay Walker, and Rasheed Walker in free agency, Elgton Jenkins and Nate Hobbs via cut, […]

Packers’ Matt LaFleur has not talked to Rich Bisaccia about resignation

The Rich Bisaccia saga has been one of the more bizarre events of the 2026 NFL offseason, and it was certainly the weirdest thing to happen around the Green Bay Packers so far this year. The team’s former special teams coordinator abruptly resigned from his post in late January, well after most of the coaching […]

Green Bay Packers News: NFL Annual Meeting is underway, ref talks stall

Each spring, between the start of free agency and the NFL Draft, the 32 NFL teams descend on a single location to discuss league business.

LaFleur: Tucker Kraft ‘right on schedule’ with ACL recovery

Before the NFL league meetings next week, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur spoke to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network about the status of LaFleur’s team going into the 2026 season. Beyond some kind words about quarterback Jordan Love, the most notable thing LaFleur said was about the injury status of tight end […]

Packers to bring in linebacker on pre-draft visit

According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, the Green Bay Packers are bringing in Louisville off-ball linebacker T.J. Quinn for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers’ pre-draft visitors have a high chance of being added to Green Bay’s roster, either in the draft, undrafted free agency or further down the line. Louisville just had […]
