Latest news and updates about the Packers
The Green Bay Packers’ class of selections in the 2026 NFL Draft was their smallest in more than 20 years, as the team traded up twice on draft weekend to end with just six picks. However, those picks hit on numerous critical positions of need, particularly on defense. General manager Brian Gutekunst addressed the cornerback […]
It’s 4 pm ET on the Monday after the draft, meaning that any free agents now signed by NFL clubs no longer count as compensatory free agents and won’t count against the compensatory free agent formula. This is pretty important to the Green Bay Packers, who should be expecting to receive a third-round pick (Malik […]
Monday was the first day in the building for most of the Green Bay Packers’ rookies, including the six members of their 2026 NFL Draft class. The first day at a new job comes with butterflies for many players, but for NFL Draft picks one of the first things they get to do is fun: […]
I was lucky enough to attend the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. On the whole, it was a great event. Pittsburgh is a fun city, the weather was wonderful, and it was fun to hang out with fans from across the NFL as they alternately cheered for their teams’ selections and […]
The Green Bay Packers put together their smallest NFL Draft class in more than two decades, but this group of players is hardly short on talent or value. General manager Brian Gutekunst’s long weekend got started with a quiet Thursday night, thanks to the team having traded its first-round pick, but once Friday arrived the […]
Back in April of 2023, I wrote an article explaining how poorly Anders Carlson compared to other recently drafted kicking prospects. Since the drafting of Florida kicker Trey Smack, I’ve been asked by Green Bay Packers fans to update the numbers and explain where Smack lies on the Carlson to Good spectrum. Beyond physical skills […]
The Green Bay Packers’ official website has not been updated with the team’s undrafted free agent signings, but the team has reportedly signed 11 undrafted free agents following the 2026 draft. That number makes a lot of sense, since with the six-man rookie draft class, it brings the team’s roster count to a full 91 […]
Alright, now that the draft is over, let’s take a look at what the 2026 Green Bay Packers could look like going into Week 1 of the regular season. Obviously, some things will change between now and then. The Packers aren’t afraid to sign free agents (especially in non-compensatory free agency, which will start on […]
We won’t know for sure how good the crop of players that general manager Brian Gutekunst just drafted is going to be until three years or so down the line, but that won’t stop us from speculating. I took a look at 10 draft grades that were handed out to the Green Bay Packers by […]
The Green Bay Packers aren’t huge spenders in undrafted free agency (yes, guaranteed money is a major factor for signing top players), but they do pick their spots at times. Whatever they’re doing is right, though, as the team has had an undrafted rookie make the team for 21 consecutive years. Who will it be […]
The Packers might very well have gotten the steal of day 3 with Domani Jackson. Once a top-five recruit, Jackson initially went to USC where he started and played admirably on one of the more dysfunctional defenses in the country. In 2024, he transferred to Alabama and immediately became a starter. He was downright excellent […]

Do you remember the name Russell Maryland? Green Bay Packers fans of a certain age should. Maryland had a 10-year NFL career during the 1990s, one that concluded after the 2000 season, which he spent playing for the Green Bay Packers. Maryland started his career out as the #1 overall pick in the 1991 NFL […]
PITTSBURGH — Another offensive lineman is making the jump from Illinois to the NFL. Offensive lineman Josh Gesky is moving on to the next level, getting signed as an Undrafted Free Agent by the Green Bay Packers. Gesky joins fellow OL J.C. Davis en route to the NFL, marking the first time two Illini offensive […]
The Green Bay Packers tried to keep their interest in athletic quarterback Kyron Drones under wraps leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft. After having him in for a Top-30 pre-draft visit, the team initially attempted to keep news of that visit from making it out into the press. However, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated […]
The Green Bay Packers entered the 2026 NFL Draft with eight draft picks. After three days of waiting, trading, and submitting selections, the team leaves with just six new players, the smallest draft class of Brian Gutekunst’s tenure as general manager and the smallest since 2004, when the team also drafted only six players. However, […]
The Green Bay Packers selected cornerback Domani Jackson earlier in the sixth round, but that wasn’t enough for general manager Brian Gutekunst. Later in the round, the team traded up to the final pick in the sixth round to select kicker Trey Smack of Florida, who was considered to be the top kicking prospect in […]
The Green Bay Packers hit the cornerback position twice in the 2026 draft, starting with their second-round selection of Brandon Cisse of South Carolina and then doubling down with the drafting of Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson in the sixth round. Jackson came into the year projected as a top-50 selection before missing games due to […]
Selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 153rd overall pick in Round 5, Lexington’s own Jager Burton has realized his NFL dreams. Burton becomes the second Kentucky Football player to hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft, joining teammate Jalen Farmer (Indianapolis Colts in Round 4) and a string of current pros, […]
In the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers took a big center in Kentucky’s Jager Burton, who measured in over 6’4” and 312 pounds at the NFL combine earlier this year. On top of breaking the 5-second mark in the 40-yard dash, Burton also ran a 4.52-second short shuttle and […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is here, and that means the big Micah Parsons trade from August 2025 will see another major return for the talented pass rusher. It won’t fully conclude the deal, but it’s the second piece the Dallas Cowboys will add from the Green Bay Packers. Let’s check in on how the two […]
The Green Bay Packers sent a lightning bolt through their fan base early on Saturday. They sat comfortably with the 20th selection of the 4th round, letting the board come to them, and then they struck: general manager Brian Gutekunst delivered a card to the NFL office with the name Dani Dennis-Sutton on it. For […]
The Green Bay Packers selected Dani Dennis-Sutton, an edge rusher from Penn State, with the 120th overall pick in the 2026 draft. Dennis-Sutton was the third-highest ranked player on the board at the time of the selection, ranked 72nd overall on the consensus board only behind Arizona State cornerback Keith Abney II and Pittsburgh linebacker […]
The Chicago Bears had quite the 2025 season, improving from 5-12 to 11-6 to become the NFC North champions and beat the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. While the end was crushing, it was a huge stepping stone for the future for the Bears, who made a number of key moves to rebuild the […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is here, and the 32 teams are welcoming another rookie crop that can shake up the league. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. A big one was the August 2025 trade that sent Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. Let’s […]
