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, […]
Packers Mock Offseason 2.0: Green Bay adds a nose tackle in free agency
It’s been a month, so let’s take another crack at a mock offseason. This one will be shorter than our Mock Offseason 1.0, only because we’ve touched on some of these overarching topics before. With that being said, I would like to make some changes to our current free agency and draft projections in comparison […]
The NFL’s play-callers are set for 2026, only 4 new names get a chance
With the hirings made on Sunday morning, the NFL’s offensive play-callers are now set for the 2026 season. As it stands now, there are 18 head coaches who double up as offensive play-callers in the league, 6 who double up as defensive play-callers and just 8 teams that are willing to live in the head-coach-as-CEO […]
NFL Draft: Previewing the 2026 cornerback class
The Green Bay Packers are almost certainly going to take a cornerback in the 2026 draft, if not to replace Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine or Nate Hobbs in 2026, then to replace the expiring contracts of Nixon, Valentine, Bo Melton and Kamal Hadden in 2027. Nixon, Valentine and Hadden are going into the final year […]
Raiders to interview Packers coach for DC opening
The lone on-field coach who remains on the Green Bay Packers’ defensive staff from the 2025 season is defensive line coach/run game coordinator DeMarcus Covington. There’s a chance he doesn’t even make the initial 2026 staff announcement, though, as the Las Vegas Raiders are interviewing him for their defensive coordinator opening, per NFL.com. The Packers […]
What do you do with a kicker like Brandon McManus?
Nobody’s going to come out and tell you Brandon McManus had some kind of secretly good season in 2025. Kicker analysis is about as binary as it gets in football: did you make the ball go between the tall yellow things or not? Far too often in 2025, because of injuries or otherwise, McManus failed […]
Packers Discussion: Was Matthew Golden the right pick in 2025?
Here’s something I’ve been thinking about asking Green Bay Packers fans: Would you redo the Matthew Golden pick if you had the chance? Generally, I think Packers fans are disappointed in Golden’s production, but not necessarily the player. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d like to hear you guys out on this one. If you need […]
Christian Watson has been statistically dominant when healthy
Christian Watson has always been a little bit behind the eight ball in Green Bay. For starters, life is never going to be easy when you’re drafted essentially as the one-to-one replacement for a future Hall of Famer, but that’s what Watson walked into when the Packers took him in the spring of 2022, using […]
Packers Free Agency: Previewing the 2026 nose tackle market
The three biggest needs for the Green Bay Packers this offseason are center, nose tackle and cornerback, in some order. We already touched on what the free agent market looks like at the cornerback position, so today I want to hit on nose tackle. Here’s why the Packers need a nose tackle: Packers nose tackle […]
Packers News: A like letter to Green Bay TE Luke Musgrave
This is not a love letter. It’s more of a like letter. Among Green Bay Packers fans, tight end Luke Musgrave has been a bit of a punching bag. He’s the guy who “falls down after every catch,” the draft pick forever tied to Tucker Kraft. And in that comparison, Musgrave loses every time. But […]
What will it take for Jordan Love to get some respect?
For a guy who only took 21 sacks during the 2025 regular season, Jordan Love sure is taking some hits this offseason. Venerable beat writer Tom Silverstein was among the first to offer pointed criticism of Love, saying in a podcast that he’d prefer Caleb Williams to Love. Then, more recently, Mike Tanier of the […]
Cardinals retain Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator
When Jonathan Gannon took over as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator, after a stint as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, many tabbed Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis to be a potential linebackers coach candidate in Green Bay. Rallis was not only Gannon’s DC in Arizona, but he was the one on-field coach […]
Packers Discussion: What do you think of the staff decisions?
There’s been some movement in Green Bay this offseason, as far as the coaching staff and the front office go, but they also are maybe not the moves some fans want to see made. Today, I want to ask you what you think about the Packers’ additions and losses, but first, let’s look at what […]
Packers to hire former SEC general manager
Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports is reporting that the Green Bay Packers “are expected to hire” Will Redmond, who last served as the general manager of the Auburn Tigers. Yes, college teams have general managers. Welcome to the NIL and portal era. This is the third front office move that we know the Packers will […]
A play for the Packers to steal from the Super Bowl
Throughout the postseason, we’ve been stealing plays from other teams and drawing them up for the Green Bay Packers to use in 2026. We’re capping off this mini series with a doozy today and taking a play that the Seahawks ran in the Super Bowl. This play happened with 13:29 left in the 4th quarter […]
Packers News: Green Bay free agency – expect more departures than arrivals
With the Super Bowl mercifully behind us, it’s on to the offseason, and the Green Bay Packers face some sobering roster realities. A recent list, published by Greg Auman, highlights just how many Packers could hit the open market or become cap casualties. The list gathers a supposed top 100 free agents for 2026, and […]
The Green Bay Packers rank 25th in cap flexibility in 2026
Last week, when Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke to the media for the first time since the 2025 regular season kicked off, he stated, “If opportunities present themselves, we’re never not able to do those things,” in reference to the team’s cap situation. Frankly, he’s right in that the Packers can push […]
Packers 2026 Draft: Heavy offensive linemen are Green Bay’s priority
I want to highlight some offensive line prospects who have a good chance of being picked by the Green Bay Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft, but we first have to establish what the team wants to do at the position. If you hadn’t noticed at this point, the Packers want to run the ball […]
NFL Combine Snubs: Multiple national champions miss the cut in 2026
The NFL announced its list of combine invitations on Wednesday, which means we’re only one step closer to draft day. Whenever the list drops, I try to look at which players were “snubbed,” relative to the consensus draft board. For those who are unaware of the process, the combine is actually run by National (NFS), […]
Packers Draft 2026: Backup quarterback targets for Green Bay
With Malik Willis likely leaving in free agency, the Green Bay Packers need to figure out what their next plan is at backup quarterback behind Jordan Love. There’s a real chance that the Packers are content with their current situation, with Desmond Ridder returning, along with Kyle McCord being signed to a futures contract. However, […]
Packers promote Luke Getsy to quarterbacks coach
When quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion left the Green Bay Packers and took the offensive coordinator opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles, a major vacancy appeared on the team’s coaching staff. While head coach Matt LaFleur interviewed at least one outsider for the job, former Arizona Cardinals pass game coordinator Connor Senger, Mannion’s position has been backfilled […]
