Quay Walker might be the victim of bad timing in Green Bay

Timing is important for linebackers. You have to know when to make your move, line up that gap, and deliver a hit just at the right moment. It’s a huge part of the position. Timing, unfortunately, appears to be working against Quay Walker — at least as far as his chances of staying in Green […]

2026 NFL Draft: Finding Packers cornerback targets on day 2

Green Bay Packers fans are entering the offseason with some anxiety about the cornerback position. Fortunately, the 2026 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent at the position, particularly on Day 2. That doesn’t mean that the Packers will necessarily take a cornerback early in this year’s draft. Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are both […]

Packers 2025 Callsheet: An Introduction

Every offseason, I’m faced with a challenge: What do I write about? I spend most of my time during the season breaking down plays from the previous game and/or looking ahead to the next one. But without fresh games, what do I do? During the season, I spend hours each week charting plays from the […]

The Packers should get ahead of Alec Pierce’s new contract

Timing is everything in the NFL market right now. The league is regularly seeing $25 million per year per team salary cap increases (roughly $800 million in cap increases league-wide). Clubs are also spending an average of 10 percent over the salary cap in cash spending for players, which is only compounding on top of […]

The NFL will likely lean into streaming for their next broadcast rights deal

It’s no surprise that the NFL is already strategizing about its next broadcast deal, as they’re trying to get the ball rolling with the players’ union, in public, on key issues that could be obstacles to labor peace, like an 18-game season and an expanded international slate. Now, reports claim that the NFL is expecting […]

Packers Discussion: Did Rich Bisaccia step away on his own volition?

This has been floating around the Green Bay Packers-sphere since the announcement that Rich Bisaccia stepped down from his gig as the Packers’ special teams coordinator. There’s one camp that believes that Bisaccia actually left his post voluntarily, and there’s another that thinks he was forced out by head coach Matt LaFleur. Personally, I think […]

Names emerge in Packers’ special teams coordinator search

Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated has two names to share with you regarding the Green Bay Packers’ special teams coordinator search. First, he reported that Cameron Achord “is among the candidates to replace Rich Bisaccia.” A couple of hours later, Huber also reported that Kyle Wilber will be interviewed for the job, too. Let’s take […]

Thursday Cheese Curds: What roster problems can the Packers solve?

The Packers have a lot of work to do this offseason and not many resources with which to do it. There’s no first round pick coming this year or next, and while there’s cap space to be had, it’ll take some blood-letting to get there.  But that’s not to say things can’t be fixed on […]

There aren’t many kicking coaches in the NFL

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 […]

Quay Walker is the most polarizing free agent in 2026

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 […]

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Welcome to the post-Bisaccia era

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 […]

What the Packers missed by entering the special teams coordinator market late

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 […]

A statistical look at the Packers’ special teams coordinator options

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 […]

Names to keep an eye on as Rich Bisaccia’s replacement for the Packers

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 […]

Rich Bisaccia resigns as Packers’ special teams coordinator

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 Packers CEO Mark Murphy to be inducted into Wisconsin Athletics Hall of Fame

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 names Packers as top fit for free agent cornerback

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 […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds: The NFL is gearing up for free agency

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 […]

NFL Free Agency Rankings: Consensus top-100 players for 2026

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 […]

Packers Discussion: Which positions does Green Bay need to draft in 2026?

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 […]

ESPN projects a trade for Kenny Clark in 2026

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 […]

Green Bay Packers News: At least tackling wasn’t a problem in 2025

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, […]
