Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that they released three players on their 91-man offseason roster: tight end McCallan Castles, linebacker Jamon Johnson and cornerback Tyron Herring. Castles and Herring were part-time practice squad players for the 2025 Packers, while Johnson, a highly-rated undrafted free agent, was a practice squad member throughout the season […]
Houston Texans pass-rusher Will Anderson just signed a new three-year, $50 million per year contract this week. Prior to this deal, the Green Bay Packers’ Micah Parsons was the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league, earning an average of $46.5 million per season on the four-year extension he signed with the Packers last year. The new […]
The Green Bay Packers are oversigned at the linebacker position, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t add to their room in the hopes that they improve their 2026 roster (and beyond). Today, we’re going to take a look at the linebacker position, where the Packers stand and what options the team has in the […]
As the Green Bay Packers do their homework on the cornerback class for the 2026 NFL Draft, one small-school prospect is starting to draw a lot of attention from media and fans alike. Stephen F. Austin cornerback Charles Demmings is one of the most intriguing small-school prospects in this draft class, and Brian Gutekunst and […]
What would it take for the Packers to crush it in the draft this year? I think often it can be tempting to fixate on what might go wrong or how things could break against the Packers, but it’s equally valid, and maybe just as important, to think about scenarios where everything goes right. How […]
There’s been a lot of twists and turns in the saga of quarterback Taylor Elgersma and the start of his football career, but for now, he will be a Winnipeg Blue Bomber. Elgersma, a U Sports product from Canada, got a shot with the Green Bay Packers, despite being a top CFL prospect, last offseason. […]
Edge rusher is an interesting position for the Green Bay Packers because it’s another position where opinions on the level of need at the position are very split amongst the fan base. Let’s talk about where the Packers’ depth chart stands going into draft weekend and the available options for Green Bay via the draft. […]
When it comes to the Green Bay Packers and rumblings about defensive tackle, the smoke is getting harder to ignore. As noted by Justis Mosqueda, a potential trade for Dexter Lawrence might not require as much in return as initially thought. Recent reporting suggests the price could land in the range of a second- and […]
Of the non-offensive lineman positions on offense, tight end is probably the Packers’ lowest priority in this spring’s draft. As an enthusiast of the position, it pains me to say, but it’s true. The Packers simply need tight ends less than they do pretty much anything else. Backup quarterback is unsettled, and running back and […]
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has released his final mock draft of the 2026 cycle, which includes a second round so Green Bay Packers fans can get in on the action. Kiper has the Packers taking Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell, which would have seemed unimaginable a couple of months ago. Here’s what Kiper had […]
Apparently, a trade for New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence would look a lot more like the 2023 Leonard Williams trade than the 2025 Quinnen Williams trade, if we’re talking about trade assets. Lawrence, arguably the best well-rounded nose tackle in the league, is reportedly in a contract dispute with the Giants, despite his […]
I submit that Matthew Golden’s rookie year was not so much bad as it was odd. His statistical output was, to be blunt, frustrating. The only 0 I wanted to see from Golden last year was on his uniform, not in the “touchdowns” column of his page on Pro Football Reference. Yes, he got into […]
There are just eight more days to go until the start of the 2026 NFL Draft, and mock drafts continue to fly in with regularity. One in particular is worth analyzing today, however, coming from Dane Brugler of The Athletic. Perhaps no single draft analyst works harder to bring information to the public than Brugler. […]
The Green Bay Packers are going through a defensive coordinator change this offseason, and it might be felt the most at the defensive line position when it’s all said and done. Hopefully, that means good things for the Packers, who had an elite first-quarter defense in 2025 but were one of the worst in the […]
This is going to be a big one. There are a lot of opinions and a lot of realities at the offensive line position that are in conflict for the Green Bay Packers going into the 2026 season. Let’s talk about it all today. Packers Offensive Line Depth Chart Even with Elgton Jenkins and Rasheed […]
Prepare yourself for the Packers to make a move at running back next week. I wrote last week about the Packers’ pre-draft visits tipping their priorities a bit, and that’s still true. The picture has clarified since then: with 23 visits now reported, the Packers have touched base with five different cornerbacks. Usually when they […]
In one of the more surprising pre-draft visits, the Green Bay Packers brought in a safety for a top-30 visit. LSU Tigers safety AJ Haulcy posted to Instagram that he was in Green Bay, presumably for an official visit less than two weeks before the start of the 2026 NFL Draft. It’s a surprise visit […]
Following their trade of Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers have a need for depth and long-term options at the wide receiver position. Wicks was one of several players with contracts expiring after this season, but the Packers were able to get draft pick compensation for this year (and next) by […]
If you followed Acme Packing Company or our podcast feed during the 2023 season, you probably remember the season of Dontayvion Wicks. Wicks consistently crushed his over/under numbers on receiving yardage during the second half of his rookie season, posting 40 or more yards in six of the final eight games in his rookie season. […]
We’ve been talking NFL draft prospects and the Green Bay Packers over the last week. If you want to catch up on the previous posts in this series, we’ve already hit on the quarterback, running back and receiver positions. Next up for us is tight end, which might be a sneaky need or not a […]
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 6th article in the series, where we’re looking at 3rd & Long (where “Long” […]
Per Tom Silverstein, the Green Bay Packers had a top-30 visit with Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton on April 7. Justis did a write-up when the visit was announced, but today we’re digging in a bit more. Morton is a 5th-year senior, and he spent all 5 of those years with the Texas Tech Red […]
In Week 15 this past season, the Green Bay Packers’ defense suffered its most brutal loss of the season to that point. No, it wasn’t that they lost a 34-26 game to Denver, but rather the loss of Micah Parsons for a team that was sitting at 9-3-1 heading into the game. The loss of […]
The Green Bay Packers have a need for a productive pass rusher in 2026, particularly with Micah Parsons likely to miss the first few games of the season as he recovers from his torn ACL. Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height could fill that need. According to Ryan Fowler, the Packers have (or have had) a […]
The Green Bay Packers have traded wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who was on the final year of his rookie contract going into the 2026 season, to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Wicks has also agreed to a one-year, $12.5 million extension with […]
