Packers will not play in London in 2026
Another day has brought more news about the NFL’s international games for the upcoming season. The league announced which teams will be the home teams for the three games in London on Wednesday morning, and the Green Bay Packers are not and will not be involved. This fall, the Jacksonville Jaguars will play in two […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: All eyes on Brian Gutekunst
The Packers media panopticon turned its attention to Brian Gutekunst on Tuesday as the Packers’ general manager weighed in on his team’s fate and fortunes from the NFL Combine. Gutekunst was both guarded and candid at times, as you’d expect, and I think it’s a fair question when people ask whether or not we actually […]
Interesting nuggets from Brian Gutekunst’s combine press conferences
The Green Bay Packers don’t communicate much in the offseason, evidenced by the fact that the team hasn’t even scheduled a press conference yet for new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who was hired over a month ago at this point. Brian Gutekunst had two separate press conferences at the combine on Tuesday, just the second […]
ESPN tiers the centers in 2026 free agency
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently released his tiers of offensive free agents, ranging from franchise players (tier 1) to backups who are likely to earn a roster spot (tier 6). For the Green Bay Packers, the squeaky wheel on offense going into 2026 is going to be the center position, as Elgton Jenkins is expected to […]
Why the Chicago Bears should move to Indiana
Before we get into boring things like “economics” and “geography” I want to be clear on two things: Of course, there are plenty of teams that play outside of the cities for which they are named, but that should not stop us. We should also note that Hammond, Indiana has a smaller population than Green […]
Brian Gutekunst: Josh Jacobs is ‘absolutely’ Packers’ running back in 2026
Salary cap casualty season is coming for players around the NFL, but you can scratch Josh Jacobs’ name off the list of players who might be looking for a new team in 2026. Brian Gutekunst made that clear on Tuesday when speaking with beat writers ahead of his press conference at the 2026 NFL Combine, […]
Why Brian Gutekunst wanted a bigger Packers offensive line
The Green Bay Packers added a trio of offensive linemen in the 2025 offseason that indicated a significant change in how the franchise viewed the unit, and general manager Brian Gutekunst revealed at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine that it was an intentional decision. Gutekunst and his staff made a handful of moves to bolster […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: How should the Packers spend in free agency?
The Packers can spend in free agency this spring. Not a lot, but they can, though it’ll take some work to get there. But what they should spend on is a tricky question. They can’t spend as freely as they might like; don’t expect an extravaganza as we saw in 2019, for instance. The Packers […]
Packers unlikely to play in Germany in 2026 after Lions announcement
The NFL continues to gradually trickle out assignments for the league’s 2026 international games, and another one dropped on Tuesday morning. The league announced today that the Detroit Lions will be one of the two teams participating in this fall’s NFL game in Munich, Germany, a game that will take place at Allianz Arena, the […]
The Packers’ 2 largest needs have 2 different solutions
Heading into the off-season, the Green Bay Packers have two glaring needs that pop off the screen: center and nose tackle. Other positions need competition and depth added in, like linebacker and cornerback, but both center and nose tackle are screaming for starters with how the depth chart looks today. As of today, February 23rd, […]
Free Agency 2026: The Malik Willis hype is starting to build
As we’ve discussed before, we’ve built a consensus list of the top 100 free agents for the 2026 offseason, which now has 22 separate rankings in the database. If you’re wondering how they stack, below is an update: Based on the data, most analysts have Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones ranked ahead of Green Bay […]
NFL Combine 2026: Full schedule of events and workouts in Indianapolis
The 2026 NFL Combine is fast approaching, with the football world set to descend on Indianapolis once again for the annual event. The first major event of the 2026 season begins on Tuesday as several coaches and general managers hold press conferences with the media, followed by player interviews and eventually workouts later on through […]
Packers fans’ experiences meeting players, coaches in real life
We’re beyond the Super Bowl but not quite to the new league year, so it’s a somewhat quiet time in the NFL. So let’s talk about the Packers. Where’s the most random place you’ve run into a Green Bay Packers player (or coach), and who was it? You could always tell us about any experience […]
When the Packers swing in free agency, they swing big
Jason Fitzgerald has just written a great article at Over the Cap, explaining what teams’ profiles are in free agency. One way to look at aggressiveness is through volume. Another way to look at aggressiveness is whether teams are signing high-priced free agents. As Fitzgerald’s data (which is shown below in graph form) points out, […]
The Packers have to spend $173 million to get to the cash floor in 2026
As part of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the players’ union, NFL teams must average a cash spend of 90 percent of the salary cap over three years, or clubs have to redistribute that difference to the players’ union with no benefit in return to the franchise. As it stands right now, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Cap casualties should start coming soon
The Green Bay Packers have some work to do in order to get under the projected salary cap for 2026 before the start of the new league year on March 11th. The team is right around the final cap number for the coming season as it stands presently, and they will need to free up […]
Packers discussion: Where in the world are our Acme Packing Company readers?
We’re in that slow period between the Super Bowl and the new league year where it sometimes feels like the NFL world has ground to a halt. And that makes it a perfect time to ask: Where in the world are our Acme Packing Company readers? We don’t want or need your address or any […]
Packers Draft: Speed at cornerback will be a premium for Jonathan Gannon
New Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon hasn’t had his introductory press conference yet, and might not for a while since the NFL scouting combine player arrivals start today. Whenever he does get in front of the press for the first time, I bet you’ll hear that the defense he wants to deploy will […]
NFL Free Agency 2026: Who are the young(er) players?
At their core, the Green Bay Packers want to be a big, fast, young football team. This has been true for virtually my entire life (outside of Mike Sherman’s stint as general manager). Al Davis taught his approach to roster building to Ron Wolf, who took over the Packers in 1991, and passed those principles […]
Former Packers QB will throw at the combine
Quarterback Taylor Elgersma hasn’t given up the dream of playing in the NFL. Despite Elgersma being drafted in the second round of the CFL draft and being taken by the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL draft, his eyes still seem to be set on the NFL. Elgersma, a Canadian national who played college football at […]
Coping with state of the Packers’ cornerback room
The Packers don’t have a lot to love at cornerback right now. Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, and Nate Hobbs are not a particularly inspiring trio, and their performance to end the season is probably not filling fans with a lot of confidence for the first year of the Jonathan Gannon era. To make matters worse, […]
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst will be speaking at the combine on Tuesday
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur apparently won’t be making the trip down to Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine next week, but general manager Brian Gutekunst will, as he’s scheduled to talk to the press on Tuesday. Gutekunst’s scheduled time is 10:15 am Eastern on Tuesday, the second-earliest slot of the day, presumably […]
Quay Walker might be the victim of bad timing in Green Bay
Timing is important for linebackers. You have to know when to make your move, line up that gap, and deliver a hit just at the right moment. It’s a huge part of the position. Timing, unfortunately, appears to be working against Quay Walker — at least as far as his chances of staying in Green […]
2026 NFL Draft: Finding Packers cornerback targets on day 2
Green Bay Packers fans are entering the offseason with some anxiety about the cornerback position. Fortunately, the 2026 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent at the position, particularly on Day 2. That doesn’t mean that the Packers will necessarily take a cornerback early in this year’s draft. Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are both […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: An Introduction
Every offseason, I’m faced with a challenge: What do I write about? I spend most of my time during the season breaking down plays from the previous game and/or looking ahead to the next one. But without fresh games, what do I do? During the season, I spend hours each week charting plays from the […]
