Wednesday Cheese Curds: Getting to work on the 2026 NFL Draft

Packers fans who love the NFL Draft are in an interesting predicament this offseason. On the one hand, the Packers have no first round pick this year (or next) thanks to the Micah Parsons trade. That makes the top end of the draft significantly less interesting. But on the other hand, the Packers’ lack of […]

Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion will be the play-calling offensive coordinator of the West team’s offense in the East-West Shrine Bowl tonight, which kicks off at 6 pm CT on NFL Network and NFL+.

Packers coach will get hands-on work with cornerbacks at Senior Bowl

Later tonight, Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion will be calling plays for the West team’s offense in the East-West Shrine Bowl, but he’s not the only Packers coach who is getting a coaching opportunity in the college all-star circuit this offseason. At the Senior Bowl, which started practices on Tuesday, Green Bay will […]

2026 NFL Calendar: Important deadlines and dates for the offseason

The Super Bowl is almost here, but for fans of the 30 NFL teams not participating in that game, the 2026 offseason is already underway. Coaching changes are in full swing, and in just a few weeks the big events that kick off free agency and NFL Draft preparations will take place. But exactly when […]

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon named to Pro Bowl

Keisean Nixon, I just can’t quit you. The Packers cornerback has been named to his first Pro Bowl, replacing Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as Seattle heads to the Super Bowl. Nixon, who has two first-team All Pro nods as a kick returner, transitioned to being the team’s CB1 during the 2025 season after the release […]

Packers QBs coach to interview for Eagles offensive coordinator job

The Green Bay Packers are starting to see members of their assistant coaching staff depart for other jobs as the NFL’s coaching carousel continues to spin. On Monday, news broke that DBs coach Ryan Downard and LBs coach Sean Duggan will be following Jeff Hafley to the Miami Dolphins, while offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich is […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Questions surround Jonathan Gannon hire

Decision points always create questions, and Matt LaFleur’s decision to hire Jonathan Gannon as his next defensive coordinator will be no different. There is plenty to question, too, though we won’t know the answers for a long, long time. Was Gannon the right hire? Only time will tell. Should LaFleur have gone with soe of […]

Packers to lose LB coach Sean Duggan to Jeff Hafley’s Dolphins

South Florida is going to have a lot of former Green Bay Packers moving forward. Not only have the Miami Dolphins taken Jon-Eric Sullivan (general manager), Jeff Hafley (head coach), Ryan Downard (pass game coordinator) and Venzell Boulware (pro scout) from the team, but Miami will also get linebackers coach Sean Duggan in the divorce, […]

Jonathan Gannon will bring the quarters revolution back to Green Bay

Let’s keep chipping away at what new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon will bring to the green and gold. Earlier today, we broke down his career resume. This time, we’re going to do a deep dive into the types of coverages that he runs. Spoiler: He loves Quarters/Cover 4. To set the table, […]

Packers lose DBs coach Ryan Downard to Jeff Hafley’s Dolphins

Jeff Hafley’s poaching of the Green Bay Packers’ coaching staff has officially begun. On Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston reported that the new Miami Dolphins head coach is bringing the Packers’ defensive backs coach, Ryan Downard, with him to Miami. Wilson did not report details on what Downard’s responsibilities will be with the […]

Potential Cap Casualties 2026: The case for and against Nate Hobbs

After taking on some potential cap casualties that could result in actual roster movement, we’re now firmly in what I’d gently refer to as the “bad news” portion of this project. Elgton Jenkins? Probably gone, and for understandable reasons. Same goes for Rashan Gary. Even Josh Jacobs might make some sense. But as much anger […]

Green Bay Packers News: Getting to know Jonathan Gannon; Super Bowl matchup set

This was a big weekend around the NFL, and it brought big news for the Green Bay Packers as well. The league’s biggest stories were its conference championship games, which took place on Sunday and decided the matchup for Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara two weeks from now. That game will be a rematch […]

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon’s resume and coaching tree ties

If you haven’t heard, the Green Bay Packers have hired former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon to be Jeff Hafley’s replacement as the team’s next defensive coordinator. Here, I want to take the time to look at Gannon’s entire coaching journey and find some long-term connections that he’s had with other coaches before we […]

Packers Draft: Tacario Davis scouting report and video

This is our second scouting report of draft season, after focusing on Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson in our first piece. Arizona’s Tacario Davis is another potential Day 2 cornerback selection, which will be the range in which the Green Bay Packers will draft a new starter at the position this April, if they get a […]

Packers offensive coordinator to interview for lateral job with Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans will interview Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on Monday for their offensive coordinator job, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The Packers could technically block the interview, since it’s a lateral move, but that isn’t really in Matt LaFleur’s DNA. LaFleur was allowed by Sean McVay to leave the Los […]

NFL Playoff Discussion: Who books their tickets to the Super Bowl?

It’s time to decide who will go to the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX. Today is the day of the NFL’s Conference Championship Games, as the final four teams still standing in the playoffs compete to be one of the two that will advance to the Super Bowl, to be held two weeks from […]

Green Bay Packers to hire Jonathan Gannon as next defensive coordinator

Well, it looks like Matt LaFleur won’t be waiting for Jim Leonhard after all. On Sunday morning, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Green Bay Packers will be hiring Jonathan Gannon, the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, as their next defensive coordinator. Many reports stated that Leonhard and Raheem Morris were at […]

Packers Discussion: What do you think about the NFL’s recent hires?

It’s probably going to be a slow weekend for Green Bay Packers news, but the NFL coaching cycle has been churning all month. Since we have a little time here, I wanted to ask you all what you think of the recent coaching hires that have been made. Here are some of my thoughts. New […]

Packers Draft: Domani Jackson scouting report and video

Earlier this week, we wrote about top-150 cornerbacks who are Green Bay Packers-type defensive backs in the 2026 NFL Draft class and who might actually be available for the team when they’re on the clock with the 53rd overall pick. Among those nine cornerbacks, the first to officially measure in at an all-star game this […]

Jeff Hafley makes offensive coordinator decision

The Miami Dolphins are becoming Green Bay South quickly. This offseason, they hired Jon-Eric Sullivan, the Packers’ former vice president of player personnel, and Jeff Hafley, Green Bay’s former defensive coordinator, to be the team’s new general manager and head coach, respectively. Beyond that, the Dolphins have also signed a former Packers player and added […]

Packers, Broncos’ Jim Leonhard have ‘mutual interest’

At least as far as the reporting goes, the Green Bay Packers are running a relatively slow defensive coordinator search. Currently, the Packers have only interviewed four candidates for the job, despite the Dallas Cowboys hitting the double-digit mark for interviews and other teams, notably the Washington Commanders and New York Jets, also being aggressive […]

Potential Cap Casualties 2026: The Case For and Against Keisean Nixon

Our subjects in this series so far have been fairly uncontroversial. Rashan Gary, Elgton Jenkins, and Josh Jacobs all carry big cap numbers, and all of them have interesting cases for and against keeping them in 2026. Keisean Nixon is no less interesting, but the discussion around him is going to be a lot more […]

Packers’ Rasheed Walker arrested with gun charges

According to The New York Post, Green Bay Packers starting left tackle Rasheed Walker has been charged with second-degree possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm in New York. The gun was registered in Wisconsin, per his attorney. The root issue of the case is that Walker attempted to fly with a […]
