Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
It’s taken the Arizona Cardinals forever to name a head coach, but after Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak reportedly committed to the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend, it looks like the Cardinals finally have their guy. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Arizona plans to hire Mike LaFleur, brother of Matt […]
Last week, I mentioned that I like to go through offenses around the league during the week, find fun things, then work them into the Green Bay Packers playbook. With only two games last weekend – and one of them short on offense – there wasn’t a lot of film to go through. Last week, […]
The Dallas Cowboys are going to hire former Green Bay Packers pass game coordinator Derrick Ansley, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. This shouldn’t be too big a surprise, since Ansley has an extensive history with the quarters system from his time with Alabama, Tennessee and the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cowboys hired their new […]
I’m not sure whether Jonathan Gannon will be a good, poor, or medium defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. It is, in fact, virtually impossible to tell how good or bad any defensive coordinator is without an insanely long track record. Jeff Hafley coordinated the seventh-best defense in the NFL (by DVOA) in 2024, […]
A lot of people are clamoring for a new punt returner for the Green Bay Packers, so I decided to take a look at the upcoming draft class to see what was available. What became very clear to me early on is that the man for the job is Baylor’s Josh Cameron, a 6’1”, 223-pound […]
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFL let franchises know on Friday that the league projects the salary cap to be in the range of $301.2 million to $305.7 million, which is roughly a $25 million jump from the 2025 season, which had a base salary cap of $279.2 million. The base designation is […]
It took them a while, but the Green Bay Packers finally announced that they are bringing back head coach Matt LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president/director of football operations Russ Ball on multi-year extensions. We’ll have to wait and see on further coaching staff moves, as the Packers have been known to […]
According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the NFL is “open to discussing” the idea of throwing penalty flags after replay review for specific types of penalties. This rule change could be decided on as early as this spring for the 2026 regular season. Per Jones, a post-play penalty flag would have to be “related to […]
The Green Bay Packers will need to make at least one move with their offensive coaching staff this offseason, as quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion left to become the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles after just one year in an on-field coaching role. On Friday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on the Packers’ first known […]
The Packers needed a new defensive coordinator and got one in the form of Jonathan Gannon. Recently the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals and formerly the defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, Gannon will be counted upon to fill the capable shoes of Jeff Hafley, now the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Hafley’s […]
Just over three years ago, Sean Mannion was employed as an NFL quarterback. Mannion spent the 2023 season bouncing between the Minnesota Vikings’ and Seattle Seahawks’ practice squads before putting an end to his playing career. Now, after two seasons as an assistant coach with the Green Bay Packers, Mannion is in charge of an […]
Cornerback is the one position of need for the Green Bay Packers that is projected to be deeper than average in the area of the draft the Packers will actually pick in, as they’ll be out of their first-round picks for the next two years. We’re slowly chipping through some cornerback prospects for the 2026 […]
Deadlines spur action, so I wanted to take a look at some key dates for some Green Bay Packers roster decisions this offseason. In total, eight of Green Bay’s veteran contracts have 2026 option bonuses or roster bonuses in their deals. What this means is that players will receive paydays early on in the offseason, […]
The Green Bay Packers will be making at least one change to the offensive side of the ball. While they’ve lost virtually the entire defensive staff to the Miami Dolphins, the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur have held firm, so far, with offensive coaches. That was until Thursday night, when the Philadelphia Eagles signed […]
ESPN published a list of their projected top-50 free agents available for the 2026 offseason, which includes many Green Bay Packers at the top of the rankings. As we’ve written about before, the volume of free agents that the Packers are expected to lose this offseason is the reason why they’ll likely receive the maximum […]
After touching on Elgton Jenkins, Rashan Gary, Josh Jacobs, Keisean Nixon, and Nate Hobbs, my tour through potential cap casualties in Green Bay concludes with a look at Aaron Banks. Banks was a bit of a surprising signing for the Packers last spring, but the vision made sense. The Packers were clearly looking to get […]
The Miami Dolphins have essentially taken the entire defensive staff from the 2025 Green Bay Packers, along with vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan and pro scout Venzell Boulware, this offseason. While Packers South is getting a lot of attention, Packers East is starting to develop, too. If you haven’t heard, former Green Bay […]
In its 2026 projection of the NFL’s Top 100 players, Sports Illustrated has shined a spotlight on what some see as a scarcity of elite talent for the Green Bay Packers. In fact, only three Packers cracked the list. The three Packers named should be obvious. Go ahead and guess — I’ll wait. Making the […]
The Green Bay Packers continue to see vacancies pop up on their defensive coaching staff this week, but Matt LaFleur and Jonathan Gannon are hard at work filling them as they appear. One day after reportedly hiring Bobby Babich to coach the defensive backs, Green Bay has found its linebackers coach on Thursday to fill […]
Coming into Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers had lost defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, linebackers coach Sean Duggan and defensive backs coach Ryan Downard to the Miami Dolphins. It doesn’t seem like the coaching churn is stopping, either, as Aaron Wilson reported on Wednesday night that passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley will be leaving the team, […]
For the most part, teams that play a quarters system at the NFL level usually like to play with a 3-4 front. Personnel doesn’t matter as much when teams are in their nickel sets, but it does when they’re in their base defense — which is usually what defensive coordinators call to match multiple-tight-end or […]
An eventful week in Dallas is in the books following the conclusion of the Shrine Bowl, and after spending multiple days at practice before a 30-hour travel day(s) back home, I have circled a handful of 2026 NFL Draft prospects for Green Bay Packers fans to keep an eye on. Practices are a great opportunity […]
The Green Bay Packers’ hiring of Jonathan Gannon as their defensive coordinator will likely bring about changes to the structure of the Packers’ defense. As highlighted on this website by our own Justis Mosqueda, the Packers will almost certainly be transitioning from Jeff Hafley’s predominantly single-high or two-high spin structures back into a predominantly split-safety […]
We’re still in the table-setting portion of our NFL draft coverage, so here I wanted to take a look at the entire draft landscape in one shot. A question I get often from Green Bay Packers fans is about which positions are strong or weak in this upcoming class. So I want to answer that […]
The Green Bay Packers made their first new hire to the supporting staff for new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, and it is a big one. With the team on the hunt for a new defensive backs coach to fill the vacancy created with Ryan Downard’s departure to Miami, they are bringing aboard a coach who […]
