Packers Discussion: What is Green Bay’s biggest offseason need?

Today, let’s talk about how we see the 2026 offseason playing out. To set the table, we’ll take a position-by-position look at the roster and identify where the team needs bodies the most. I think I’ve seen Green Bay packers fans cut or trade every player on the team at various points already, so I […]

Be Explosive or Go Home

I wrote last week about how I no longer care for what I call the “passive model” of defense, and many league trends on offense that led me to this conclusion. The major point is that over the last forty years, completion percentage has consistently gone up, interception percentage has consistently gone down, and yards […]

Micah Parsons finishes 3rd for Defensive Player of the Year

This year’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award race wasn’t particularly close. Cleveland Browns edge defender Myles Garrett received all 50 first-place votes for the award after his record-setting 23-sack season in 2025. In total, Garrett received a perfect 500 points in the voting process. Behind Garrett, though, it was a bit of a […]

Green Bay Packers to hire Christian Watson’s college coach

According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Green Bay Packers will be hiring Penn State receivers coach Noah Pauley to serve in the same role. Pauley followed head coach Matt Campbell from Iowa State to Penn State this offseason. Previously, Pauley had been the receivers coach at Minnesota-Duluth (2016-2018, concurrently holding the title of offensive […]

Packers Draft: Davison Igbinosun scouting report and video

While Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stated on Wednesday that the team doesn’t need to make wholesale changes at the cornerback position, the Packers will, at a minimum, need to get ahead of expiring contracts at the position in 2027. As it stands today, the only notable cornerback on the team who is […]

The Green Bay Packers can do as much as they want in free agency in 2026

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year: NFL accounting season. With the season over for all but two teams, and shortly over for everyone, it’s time to see what resources you have to improve your team this offseason. After all, that’s what this is all about, right? Not winning games, but running off-season simulators to max […]

Nathaniel Hackett takes Cardinals OC job for Mike LaFleur

Earlier this offseason, former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who served as a defensive analyst for the team in 2025, agreed to become the quarterbacks coach of the Miami Dolphins, which was taken over by former Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Now, there will be a pivot in Hackett’s career, as he’s accepted […]

Brian Gutekunst says Packers don’t need wholesale changes at cornerback

Today, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst took the podium for the first time since the post-Micah Parsons trade press conference. Among other things, Gutekunst stated that scouts will be flying back to Green Bay on Wednesday, and they will begin draft meetings starting tomorrow. If you missed any of Gutekunst’s press conference, we’re […]

Brian Gutekunst Press Conference Discussion Thread

I don’t think we’ve ever had a press conference discussion thread before, but I figure some of you will be interested to hear Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst’s talk with the media — if you have the time to watch it midday on a Wednesday. This is the first time that Gutekunst has […]

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Brian Gutekunst ready to face questions

The “will they/won’t they/should they” dance over Matt LaFleur’s contract extension last month soaked up just about all of the available discourse resources among Packers watchers. But that wasn’t the only new deal that got done: in addition to LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst also got a new deal, as did cap savant Russ Ball. […]

Packers Draft: An early look at the 2026 center class

When it comes to draft rankings, I think it’s important to evaluate the evaluator. To me, there’s no one in the business doing better work on offensive linemen than Brandon Thorn, who currently drops his draft prospect rankings on Bleacher Report as part of their B/R NFL Scouting Dept. series. Thorn, whom I have previously […]

NFL, NFLPA disagree about 18th regular-season game

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made a clear statement during Super Bowl week, claiming that the league is hoping to get to an 18th regular-season game with every team in the NFL playing at least one international game every single season. This echoes the comments of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who said similar on […]

Bears to interview Packers QB coach target for OC vacancy

So far, the Green Bay Packers have reportedly set up only one interview for their quarterback coaching vacancy, which was left open when Sean Mannion took the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator job. The coach, a Wisconsin native, is former Arizona Cardinals pass game coordinator Connor Senger, who received a promotion every year under Jonathan Gannon, […]

Packers Discussion: Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl?

It’s Super Bowl week, so I figured it’s finally time to talk about the Super Bowl. Here’s the question I want you folks to answer today: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl LX? Between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, I’ll be rooting for the Patriots. I have little to no trauma […]

The NFL will play 9 international games in 2026

Two weeks ago, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft spilled the beans on a local radio show and told the world that the NFL has plans for every single team to play an international game every single year when the league goes up to a 20-week, 18-game regular season. NFL owners are hoping that this […]

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst to hold press conference on Wednesday

It’s not often that Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst speaks to the media. Last year, he held one of his few media obligations, his end-of-year press conference, on January 17th. Obviously, this year’s edition has been pushed weeks later, in part because the team only officially announced his extension (along with the extension […]

Packers Discussion: Keep, cut or trade Nate Hobbs in 2026?

I think all Green Bay Packers fans realize we’re not getting much bang for our buck from the 2025 free agent class. Usually, free agency is a bad bet. Teams just don’t allow good, healthy players to hit the open market often, especially in an era where cash spending is so much higher than the […]

Packers will hire former 49ers DBs coach Daniel Bullocks, per report

The Green Bay Packers aren’t done making changes to their defensive coaching staff. Head coach Matt LaFleur and new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon are reportedly adding another experienced position coach to the organization, one who has some indirect ties to some of his new coworkers. According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Packers are hiring […]

Former Packers coach Sean Duggan will be Dolphins defensive coordinator

While the Miami Dolphins have been plucking away parts of the Green Bay Packers throughout the last couple of weeks, it was uncertain what the role of former Packers linebackers coach Sean Duggan would be for Jeff Hafley’s new staff. On Sunday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Duggan, who was co-defensive coordinator for Hafley for […]
