Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Three players were hit with franchise tags, and one was hit with the transition tag, so it’s time to update our consensus free agency rankings. We’re going to change our methodology for this one because of the inclusion of cap casualties, who aren’t always included in the rankings we’ve found around the web. Due to […]
On the radio with ESPN Milwaukee, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave us all an update on Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker and his status in free agency. Right now, Walker is by far the best player left in free agency, according to consensus rankings, who has yet to sign with a team by the […]
On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers landed a player who was one of Jonathan Gannon’s best success stories with the Philadelphia Eagles. Green Bay signed free agent defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who had just been released by the Minnesota Vikings, to a two-year deal, reuniting him with his former defensive coordinator. Gannon coached Hargrave in […]
As our own Justis Mosqueda wrote yesterday, the Green Bay Packers have until Friday (that’s tomorrow as I sit down with my morning coffee to write this) to make a decision on kicker Brandon McManus. Without parroting the entire article here, I’ll just clarify that that is because McManus is due a $1 million bonus […]
I was originally going to get up a 53-man roster projection for Thursday morning (stay tuned for that tomorrow), but while doing the exercise, I realized that I was doing a lot of work trying to figure out when guys were expected to return from injury after the chaos that happened at the end of […]
The Green Bay Packers brought back an old friend, Jonathan Ford, to the team in 2025, after a slew of injuries to their defensive line. Ford, a 2022 seventh-round pick, was plucked from the Chicago Bears’ practice squad after spending the 2022 to 2024 seasons with the Packers. He never played a regular-season snap with […]
Not only are the general manager, head coach and quarterback for the Miami Dolphins coming from Green Bay, but the team has also now signed two former Packers on Wednesday. The first was safety/special teams ace Zayne Anderson. Now, it’s being reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that tight end Ben Sims is going to […]
The Green Bay Packers have made some special teams-centric moves this offseason, beyond just retaining their own players. This included the signing of receiver/returner Skyy Moore and cornerback/all-round contributor Benjamin St-Juste. The St-Juste move seemed odd, though, if the team was going to retain safety Zayne Anderson, who was a restricted free agent with a […]
The most obvious free agent signing of the spring has come to pass within an hour of it becoming a possibility. The Green Bay Packers desperately need a nose tackle and they have found one in Javon Hargrave. The Packers reportedly have inked Hargrave to a big new two-year contract, giving him $23 million over […]
You don’t have to worry about the Dallas Cowboys reneging on the trade for former Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Rashan Gary, even though NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported last night, after the Maxx Crosby trade fell through, that the Cowboys were still interested in Crosby. The Cowboys have made their official announcement that Gary will […]
Monday afternoon brings the start of the NFL’s free agent negotiation period, often referred to as the “legal tampering” period. Starting at 12 Noon Eastern, teams may begin talking to agents of unrestricted free agents to work out the framework of contracts that can be officially signed after 4 PM Eastern on Wednesday, when the […]
Nose tackle is one of the biggest areas of concern on the Green Bay Packers’ roster heading into the 2026 season, but on Wednesday — shortly before the start of the NFL’s league year — the team brought a player back at that spot to give them competition and options in training camp. According to […]
This is the one you’ve all been waiting for. The Minnesota Vikings are set to release Javon Hargrave on the first day of the new league year, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Green Bay Packers, desperate for defensive line help, can sign Hargrave, a former Jonathan Gannon defensive lineman, without offsetting a compensatory draft […]
The Green Bay Packers are bringing back another one of their restricted free agents, Josh Whyle, according to Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber. Whyle will return on a one-year deal. Whyle was the victim of a trend that happened across the league last year, as teams’ backup tight ends pivoted more toward the run-blocking mold, in […]
At this point, it seems pretty clear that the Green Bay Packers wanted to protect their compensatory draft picks in 2027, which is what I expected coming in. The Packers could have burned the boats, offsetting comp picks and borrowing money from the future for the sake of the 2026 squad, but that clearly wasn’t […]
The Green Bay Packers are re-signing edge defender Brenton Cox Jr., who was set to be a restricted free agent, to a one-year, $2.5 million contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This is the third restricted free agent that the Packers have re-signed to below the minimum $3.5 million first right of refusal tender. Previously, […]
Going into the week, three kickers made our top-200 free agents, based on the consensus of 29 different online free agent rankings. Those three kickers were Joey Sly, Nick Folk and Zane Gonzalez, and after Sly re-signed with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, all three are now off the board. As we wrote back in […]
As we approach the 4 pm ET start of the new league year, former Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker is the top remaining free agent on the board, according to our consensus board that tracks the ranking of 29 different online rankings. Walker came into the week ranked as the 6th overall free […]
Every departure in free agency means a new opportunity for someone else. That’s certainly the case in Green Bay. Romeo Doubs is a Patriot? That means more reps for Matthew Golden. Elgton Jenkins joins the Browns? That’s good news for Sean Rhyan, and by extension Anthony Belton, both of whom take advantage of the domino […]
On Monday, ESPN’s Pat McAfee reported that Green Bay Packers swing tackle Darian Kinnard signed a one-year deal worth $3.75 million. This should have set your alarm bells off, not because it was McAfee, generally a talk show host, reporting it, but because the Packers had the option to tender Kinnard on a $3.5 million, […]
Well, folks, it’s time to remember that nothing is official in the NFL offseason until the first day of the new league year. It appears that the Baltimore Ravens will not be acquiring Maxx Crosby, who was traded from the Las Vegas Raiders for two first-round picks, because of a failed physical. As NFL Network’s […]
The Green Bay Packers care about special teams now. Everyone rejoice. On Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz broke the news that the Packers will be signing wide receiver and returner Skyy Moore. The former second-round pick, hailing from Matt LaFleur’s old stomping grounds, Western Michigan, returned 25 punts for 291 yards (11.6 average) and 33 […]
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has reported that the Cleveland Browns have signed Elgton Jenkins to a two-year, $24 million contract with a $12 million average per year. $20 million of that $24 million is guaranteed, per Pelissero (though the term “guarantee” has been manipulated in recent years). $12 million per is significantly less than what […]
Last week, we wrote about how the Green Bay Packers probably won’t offset their top four compensatory draft picks, unless they take one really, really big swing. This has sort of been the Packers’ overall strategy with the compensatory pick formula under general manager Brian Gutekunst, as they tend to offset compensatory draft picks by […]
Reporting is starting to come out about the contract details of the Green Bay Packers’ recent moves. We’ve already seen the Sean Rhyan (functions as a one-year deal with two years of team options) and Nick Niemann (prove it to make the roster) contracts, but we got our first look at the structures of the […]
