Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Green Bay Packers have made their first significant salary cap adjustment for the 2026 season, with news of a contract restructure coming down on Thursday morning. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Packers are restructuring Xavier McKinney’s deal, converting a significant portion of his 2026 compensation into a signing bonus to spread that money […]
In my last article, I set up what this series is going to be. We’re building out a callsheet for the Green Bay Packers offense based on their performance by down & distance in 2025. Since I spent an entire article setting this up, we’re not going to belabor the point. Let’s jump right in. […]
In terms of their long term roster strategy, the Packers are in a bit of a tight spot. Could be a lot worse, but could be a lot better, too (paging Russ Ball). As free agency looms, GM Brian Gutekunst will have less flexibility than last year — but moves are still possible. Micah Parsons aside, […]
It’s going to be tough for the Green Bay Packers to spend on outside free agents this offseason, considering the team is currently over the cap and the Packers will need to be extremely mindful of their compensatory pick situation, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein is reporting that Green Bay is at least […]
Former Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia stepped down from his post in mid-February and has now officially signed with the Clemson Tigers, where he previously spent time from 1994 to 1998, as their new coordinator. In the team’s announcement of the Bisaccia signing, he said something interesting in terms of the timing […]
The start of the NFL’s 2026 free agency period is only a few days away. Unrestricted free agents are allowed to begin negotiations with teams next Monday, March 9th, while the league’s new year begins at 4:00 PM on March 11th. However, teams have decisions to make on the other two main categories of free […]
Over the past two seasons, the Green Bay Packers have made Chris Brooks a key component of their offense and special teams units. The former Cal and BYU runner came to Green Bay early in the 2024 season and has played nearly every game since, serving largely as the team’s pass-protecting running back and an […]
If the Chicago Bears’ defense was one thing in 2026, it was opportunistic. Led by coordinator Dennis Allen, Chicago forced the most turnovers of any team in the NFL with 33, largely driven by a league-leading 23 interceptions. Safety Kevin Byard posted seven of those to lead the NFL on an individual level, while breakout […]
A week from now, the first wave of free agency will basically be over, even though free agency won’t yet have technically begun. The “legal tampering” period opens on Monday (say it with me one more time: if it’s legal, it’s not tampering, and if it’s tampering, it’s not legal), giving teams a free for […]
Here’s a case study on how the Green Bay Packers have manipulated the compensatory draft picks system under Brian Gutekunst, some general thoughts on how the Packers are positioned going into the 2026 free agency cycle and how I think Green Bay should handle the next three or so years. Compensatory draft picks are confusing […]
One of the big questions for those of us on Malik Willis Watch 2026 was whether the Miami Dolphins or the Arizona Cardinals were able to afford to take on the dead cap for the straight releases of Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray, their high-priced quarterbacks. On Tuesday, the Cardinals officially made their decision, as […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Chicago Bears center Drew Dalman has retired from the NFL. Dalman, who was named a Pro Bowler in 2025, just signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the team in 2025, after previously playing on his rookie contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Over five NFL seasons, he played in 74 […]
I think it’s safe to say this has been an odd offseason for Matt LaFleur so far. It started with legitimate questions about whether or not he would return to Green Bay for the 2026 season, proceeded to the not-unexpected loss of his defensive coordinator, took a turn toward the absurd when his special teams […]
According to Tiger Illustrated, Clemson’s On3/Rivals site, former Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is nearing a deal with the Clemson Tigers. Per Tiger Illustrated, the deal needs to go in front of the school’s board of trustees (BOT), a sign that the contract on the table comes with major financial backing. Bisaccia […]
The Green Bay Packers might want to start looking at Washington Commanders players. The Commanders already released center Tyler Biadasz, a consistently above-average player who Washington simply didn’t want to pay at the negotiated rate for 2026. Now, the Commanders will reportedly also release cornerback Marshon Lattimore, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Lattimore is a former […]
I was combing through the data on our consensus 2026 NFL free agent rankings, which is now up to 26 data points, and decided to look at a different angle today: Players with connections to new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. As we’ve seen in the past, connections to a coach on the […]
The 2026 Scouting Combine comes to a close today, as the last group of players is headed out of Indianapolis this afternoon. That brings the week-long marathon to an end, and we have some better ideas about what players might well end up on the Green Bay Packers’ draft board at the end of April. […]
The fourth and final day of combine testing will feature the big boys on the offensive line running and jumping. As it stands right now, left tackle Rasheed Walker and swing interior offensive lineman Sean Rhyan are going to be unrestricted free agents in less than two weeks, and swing tackle Darian Kinnard is going […]
Welcome to the third day of testing for the least-participated in combine in NFL history. Hopefully, more players will run on Saturday, since the event will start a little earlier. Today will feature the quarterbacks, running backs and receivers doing on-field work, which will include former Green Bay Packers quarterback Taylor Elgersma doing some throwing. […]
From 2005 to 2020, between two-thirds and three-fourths of players participated in any given drill at the combine regularly. Then the pandemic happened. Not only did some top-10 selections in the 2021 class opt out of the 2020 college season entirely, but they also didn’t have a combine to participate in that offseason, either. Yet, […]
The NFL combine had just a 37 percent participation rate on the first day of the on-field portion of the event, which is not great. Hopefully, more players end up testing today than on Friday. Today’s focus will be on the tight ends, cornerbacks and safeties, but if you want to catch up on the […]
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the Green Bay Packers will not tender restricted free agent running back Emanuel Wilson, and The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman is reporting the same situation for safety Zayne Anderson, who was fifth on the team in special teams snaps played in 2025. This shouldn’t come as a shock, as we’ve […]
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have hired Cam Achord as their next special teams coordinator, following Rich Bisaccia’s February 17th resignation from his post. Based on reporting from Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, the Packers planned to interview seven candidates, one of whom (Matthew Smiley) elected to take a college football […]
Depsite only being scheduled to pay him $8 million in 2026, the Washington Commanders released their starting center, former Wisconsin Badger Tyler Biadasz, on Thursday. ESPN’s John Keim, who covers the Commanders, tweeted the following: It appears to me that he is correct here. First of all, the Commanders don’t need to create more cap […]
It’s about time. With less than two weeks to go before the NFL officially begins its 2026 year, the league has finally settled on a base salary cap number. According to multiple media reports, the league has decided upon $301.2 million as the base cap for the upcoming season. That number is on the low […]
