Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
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, […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

We’ll have more stuff on the hiring of new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon throughout the week, as there are a lot of angles to examine for what should be the biggest move that the Packers make in the 2026 offseason, but I want to get this one up quickly, because it’s a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers ran an exhaustive search to figure out who would be replacing Mike Tomlin, who coached the team for 19 years and never posted a losing season. Tomlin stepped down from the position the day after the Steelers’ playoff loss to the Houston Texans. In total, the Steelers ran 10 interviews, with three […]

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 […]

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 […]

The East-West Shrine Bowl took its measurements today, giving us 630 data points on 126 players. Let’s go position-by-position, breaking down what can be taken away from the scale and measuring tape day from a Green Bay Packers perspective. I’m going to reference a Size Score to rank players, which is really just the combined […]

With former defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley off coaching the Miami Dolphins, the biggest move that the Green Bay Packers will make this offseason will probably be who they replace Hafley with. In talking to those in the know in the coaching and coaching representation space, two names have come up consistently (throughout the year), mostly […]

Every Green Bay Packers fan wants two new starters at cornerback in 2026. I want Sauce Gardner and Patrick Surtain playing outside for my team, too. But it won’t happen this year because of the team’s cap situation and the fact that they’re out of a first-round pick (and will be in 2027, too). The […]

In Major League Baseball, the one thing that every small market smart team has in common is a disproportionately large investment in analytics and player development. This class of teams generally includes the Tampa Bay Rays (who employ about four times as many of what the industry refers to as “nerds” as any other team), […]

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Ben Solak ranked the best coordinator openings in the league this offseason, with five official openings on the offensive side and eight official openings on the defensive side. Obviously, more teams will get involved in the coordinator market later this offseason, as more head coaching decisions will be made that will […]

After taking a look at Rashan Gary and Elgton Jenkins, our cap casualties series now turns to the offensive backfield. What does the future hold for running back Josh Jacobs? A 2019 first-round pick by the Raiders (with one of the picks they got from Chicago in the Khalil Mack trade in 2018), Jacobs joined […]

During the season, I like to look around the league and see what other teams are doing in the passing game. It’s a good way to get familiar with other offenses around the league, but it also works as a bit of a thought experiment when it comes to the Green Bay Packers’ offense. When […]
