Packers Minicamp Recap: Defense wins the day
In his pre-practice press conference leading up to the final practice of the Green Bay Packers’ mandatory minicamp, head coach Matt LaFleur outlined the timeline for practices moving forward. According to LaFleur, veterans will have next week off, while rookies will be participating in voluntary organized team activities. On top of that, LaFleur announced that […]
Thursday Cheese Curds: Jager Burton making an early impression in Green Bay
For a fifth-round pick, Jager Burton has wasted little time making an impression in Green Bay. The rookie offensive lineman entered the offseason viewed primarily as a developmental depth piece. A four-year starter at Kentucky with experience at multiple positions, Burton offered the kind of versatility Green Bay covets, but few expected him to be […]
Matt LaFleur reveals date for start of Packers 2026 training camp
Thursday is the final day of minicamp for the Green Bay Packers, who have another week of Organized Training Activities left in the offseason program. However, head coach Matt LaFleur has decided to give his veterans a break this spring, sending them home a week early for the summer. Ahead of Thursday’s practice, LaFleur spoke […]
Packers Minicamp Recap: Tucker Kraft expects to play Week 1
Minicamp is underway, and today marked Day 2 of the three-day snapshot of the team for Green Bay Packers fans. No one completely took over practice on Wednesday, like pass-rusher Lukas Van Ness did on Tuesday, but there was some news broken before, during and after practice. Participation 17 players remain out for the Packers, […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: 3rd & Medium
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 7th article in the series, where we’re looking at 3rd & Medium (where “Medium” […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Christian Watson weighs in on new deal
If you spend any time in any online space related to books or writing online, you know there’s a slow-rolling literacy crisis going on in America. Fewer and fewer people are reading for enjoyment, and even fewer seem to be comprehending what they’re reading. Based on the online discussion around Christian Watson’s contract, I’d gently […]
Packers Minicamp Recap: Lukas Van Ness has a day
The Green Bay Packers kicked off their mandatory minicamp without a lot of drama this year. So far, everyone has reported to voluntary offseason workouts, so there was no threat of a player missing mandatory work (and the fines that come with it). The Packers’ minicamp will last three days, beginning with today’s action. The […]
Christian Watson’s contract is more Packers-friendly than it first appeared
The raw numbers were still a good deal. Here at APC, we broke that down last week when Christian Watson signed his new contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, initially reported as a 4-year, $110.5 million extension. That new compensation, combined with his one remaining contract year, made the deal in essence a 5-year, […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Jordan Love prepares for his fourth year as a starter
Jordan Love hits an inflection point this season. As of this year, he’ll have been the Packers’ starter for longer than he was an understudy to Aaron Rodgers, signifying…something. I’m not exactly sure what. The passage of time, maybe? The inevitable march of one day after another after another toward oblivion? Maybe that’s a bit […]
Packers Discussion: Who else would you extend this offseason?
The Green Bay Packers are getting ahead of their extensions, as they’ve already extended receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson, who were both going into the final years of their contracts in 2026, this offseason. Here’s the question I want to ask you all today: Who else would you try to extend long-term before the […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Tight End
We’re back at it to break down the Green Bay Packers’ tight ends going into the summer. If you missed it, we’ve already hit the quarterback and receiver positions. Tight end is an interesting position, as general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the team was hoping to land a true Y tight end in the […]
Green Bay Packers News: Minicamp next after offense dominates in softball
Attendance has been excellent at the Green Bay Packers’ offseason program, as usual. The team’s implementation of workout bonuses in veterans’ contracts helps ensure those players’ appearance throughout the spring and in OTA practices, and young players are almost always present as well, looking to take advantage of any opportunity to make a good impression […]
Packers Discussion: How do you feel about the Christian Watson extension?
Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers signed receiver Christian Watson to a four-year deal worth $110 million in new money, good for $27.5 million per season. This was sort of expected on my end, considering Detroit Lions WR2 Jameson Williams, another speedster from the 2022 class, signed a deal worth $26.7 million per year back in […]
Green Bay Packers News: More praise for Christian Watson’s contract
4 years and $110.5 million is a lot of time and money to invest in a football player. That’s the new term on the contract that the Green Bay Packers just gave Christian Watson, and sure, it is a lot, both objectively and in the context of the NFL. But while there has been plenty […]
The Christian Watson contract is a great deal for the Packers
I’ve already seen so much online analysis of the Green Bay Packers’ contract extension with Christian Watson that basically boils down to “duhhhh BIG NUMBER, MAN HURT, NEVER HIT 700 YARDS, MAYBE I DOWN MY LOW T MEDS BEFORE CALLING DIVORCE ATTORNEY AND SNEAKING IN NINE HOLES.” And just, no. It’s not that much money, […]
Christian Watson is worth the money
Christian Watson got his money. Now the obvious question looms: is he worth the money? Watson stands atop a revamped Packers’ wide receiver depth chart. Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are gone, departed via free agency and a trade, respectively. Jayden Reed is back, retained on a contract extension of his own earlier this offseason, […]
Packers sign Christian Watson to 4-year contract extension
It’s official — the Green Bay Packers plan to have Christian Watson as their number one wide receiver for the foreseeable future. On Thursday morning, the two sides agreed to a massive new contract extension that will keep the wide receiver in Green Bay through 2030. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal is a […]
The Packers have one of the fastest wide receiver rooms in the NFL
If you haven’t noticed, the Green Bay Packers have invested in speed at the wide receiver position over the last several years. Although Matt LaFleur has gained a reputation for preferring big-bodied wide receivers who can block, the team has moved on from a few of those players this offseason and those who are left […]
Green Bay Packers News: It’s not yet time to panic about Smack’s struggles
Here’s an early reminder that the Green Bay Packers are getting: life with a rookie kicker can be stressful. To that end, sixth round pick Trey Smack generated some concern this week after an uneven OTA performance, in which he missed multiple field-goal attempts during a public practice session. Following Mason Crosby’s tenure, Packer fans […]
Micah Parsons reveals ACL recovery timeline
On Wednesday, Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Micah Parsons told the local press that he has a strict “nine-month rule” to return to game action, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood. This makes sense, considering that receiver Christian Watson, who tore his ACL late in the 2024 season, took nine months to return to […]
Packers Discussion: How do you feel the Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett trades stack up?
Now that the dust has settled a bit on the Los Angeles Rams’ trade of Myles Garrett, I want to compare and contrast the trade with the Green Bay Packers’ trade of Micah Parsons. I’m sure you all have opinions on how the two trades stack up, so I wanted to try to give it […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Matthew Golden off to a strong start
Let’s get the pun out of the way early: there’s a golden opportunity at hand for a certain second-year wide receiver in Green Bay. After a disappointing rookie campaign, Matthew Golden has it all in front of him in year two. Romeo Doubs has departed for New England. Dontayvion Wicks is gone, headed for Philadelphia […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Receiver
Let’s continue our series breaking down every player on the Green Bay Packers’ roster with the receiver position. The position had a decent amount of turnover this offseason, after Romeo Doubs was lost in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Who is left on the Packers’ depth chart, and what […]
Packers OTA Recap: Josh Jacobs returns to practice
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was back at practice for Tuesday’s voluntary organized team activities, despite Brown County continuing to investigate potential charges related to a domestic abuse case. Last Wednesday was the Packers’ first media-open OTAs, which happened to fall on the same day that Jacobs was released from jail after the […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Trades complicate Packers 2026 schedule
Nothing like some good ol’ June 1 moves to shake up the offseason, huh? The Rams, Browns, Patriots, and Eagles were all involved in big-time trades yesterday, and while the landscape of the entire league didn’t change, there were certainly some significant seismic shifts. The Packers will feel the effects of both trades; they’ll face […]
