Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Free agency in football is a little bit like running the ball. You cannot win without it to some extent, but it’s also fundamentally inefficient. Still, for many fans (and some analysts), a lack of activity in free agency represents something of an offseason failure. People are more comfortable with players they know and free […]
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a callsheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 5th article in the series, where we’re looking at 2nd & short (where “short” is defined […]
Free agency seems like a dull and distant memory, and the NFL Draft is lightyears away. The offseason must be essentially over, right? Wrong! But you know this. You know there’s still a lot of work for the Packers to do, and there’s a good chance they’re gaming out moves right now. Here’s a pretty […]
As we broke down earlier this month, when we covered all of the Green Bay Packers’ injuries going into the 2026 season, the Packers are going to have a tough decision to make when it comes to star edge rusher Micah Parsons, coming off a torn ACL. As the rules state, at the moment, he […]
The Packers, their fans, and members of Bob Harlan’s family gathered in the Lambeau Field atrium Monday to remember Harlan’s life and career. Credited as one of the men responsible for turning the Packers around in the 1990s, Harlan had no shortage of people willing to say good things about him. And that’s for two […]
According to Pro Football Talk, the Green Bay Packers have re-signed “defensive end” Arron Mosby. This was previously reported by Easton Butler on Thursday, but Pro Football Talk confirmed that Mosby officially was signed by the Packers, per the league wire, on Monday. Butler stated that Green Bay signed Mosby to a minimum deal, while […]
The Green Bay Packers have made a habit over the last few years of trying to turn slot cornerbacks into outside ones, having some fans believe that they could always kick one back inside to solve any injury-related issues. However, with the way the roster is currently built, adding another slot defender might be an […]
Nose tackle, cornerback, edge rusher, and offensive line. Those positions appear to be the areas where the Green Bay Packers still need reinforcements the most as the team comes out of free agency and heads towards the 2026 NFL Draft, which will begin in just over a month. Thankfully, all of those spots aside from […]
Pre-draft free agency seems to be pretty close to wrapped up, as the market has nearly halted to a complete stop. The typical chronic borrowers (Eagles, Saints, Browns, Dolphins, etc.) didn’t really borrow from the future this year, and more teams than expected decided to punt on compensatory free agents to protect their incoming 2027 […]
The first addition of the Flag Football Classic, originally scheduled for Saudi Arabia and later moved to Los Angeles, was played on Saturday. For months, we’ve been hearing that NFL players would beat Team USA if the two were ever met face-to-face, a point of contention for both sides, as both groups believe they should […]
At this point, you probably already know that the NFL is attempting to renegotiate its broadcast deals mid-way through its current contracts. Once regulators approved the NFL’s swap of the NFL Network (and other assets) for equity in ESPN, commissioner Roger Goodell and co. went to work on getting their current broadcast partners to accept […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, 26 teams have reached out to former Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins’ camp in anticipation of his return to the NFL in 2026. Per agent David Mulugheta, by way of Schefter, Wilkins is still rehabbing a foot injury that he suffered in 2024. Last July, the Raiders voided […]
Early last season, I criticized Matt LaFleur’s game management after the latest in a series of questionable challenge calls went against the Packers. Now, with the 2025 season firmly in the rearview mirror, I’m happy to report that LaFleur must read Acme Packing Company. Not only did he shore up his pitiable track record on […]
The Packers are broadly expected to invest some of their capital in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft in their secondary, and for good reason. Even with the acquisition of Benjamin St-Juste, the Packers could badly use some depth at cornerback, in addition to some help at the top end of the depth chart. Basically they […]
Few roles in an NFL franchise draw as much criticism as the general manager, and few teams’ fan bases criticize the GM more than the Green Bay Packers. The expectations are high for this franchise and for its front office, and rightfully so, but one recent analysis shows that the Packers are the best-drafting team […]
Brian Gutekunst has now been the Packers’ general manager for nearly a decade. 2026 will be his ninth draft as GM, and if you needed any more evidence that you’re getting old, here’s a sobering fact: the Packers have now completely cycled two full Gutekunst draft classes on and off the roster. Last year the […]
The Green Bay Packers have been giving hints that the team will return to a 3-4 base defense in 2026 under new coordinator Jonathan Gannon, but the team’s coaching announcements on Thursday all but locked that in place. When announcing the team’s full coaching staff for the coming season, a subtle piece of information that […]
Months after other teams have made their official staff announcements for the 2026 season, the Green Bay Packers have officially finalized their coaching staff for the upcoming season. Let’s break down the new offensive, defensive and special teams staff. Offensive Staff Former Packers quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy returned to the team […]
According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Green Bay Packers will hire T.C. McCartney to the team’s coaching staff for the 2026 season. His role at this point is undefined, other than “offensive assistant.” The former backup quarterback at LSU entered the coaching world immediately after his playing days and got his start with the […]
Regardless of how you felt about Rashan Gary’s performance in 2025 (here, maybe this will JOG your memory), trading him to the Dallas Cowboys does leave a clear roster hole. The Packers still have Micah Parsons and Lukas Van Ness, but they need another capable pass rusher if they want to try and progress in […]
I was scrolling through BlueSky on Wednesday morning when I came across this post from Mike Tanier, which sort of threw me for a loop. And this even more so. And by the way, I like and respect Mike and always read his stuff (and you should too), but this level of criticism for what […]
All while the NFL is renegotiating broadcast deals to secure a 50 percent increase in broadcast fees, it is starting a war with the NFL Referees Association. According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN, the league “is laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season.” If you’ll remember, the NFL last did this back in 2012, […]
According to Over The Cap, the Green Bay Packers currently have $23.5 million in cap space this offseason, and they are expected to have $67.5 million in cap space in the 2027 season. Whatever goes unused in 2026, which at this point could be in the $13.7 million range, will be added to their 2027 […]
Free agency has come and gone (well, not really — you can still sign whoever you want, but you get it), and we’re now in the season of free agency grades. Never mind that nobody knows how these players will fit with their new teams. Never mind that every free agent signing will be augmented […]
Former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman JC Tretter, who earned a degree in Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell, was elected the executive director of the NFLPA on Tuesday, making Tretter the first former player to lead the union since Gene Upshaw (1983 to 2008). Tretter is now the third executive director that the NFLPA […]
