Sometimes, all it takes is having the right teammate at the right time. Ultimately, that’s one of the biggest reasons that Trey Smack is now the Green Bay Packers’ kicker. When he was going to high school in Maryland, Smack was a lacrosse player, not a kicker on his school’s football team. But he had […]
The NFL has successfully invented a new timeslot with the Packers and Rams playing on “Thanksgiving Eve” this year. And though a game on the night before Thanksgiving might be a new phenomenon, it’s not the first time the Packers have played on a Wednesday. Buckle up, because this is a weird one. Though it’s […]
The Miami Dolphins have become "Green Bay South" since the arrival of Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley, and the latest waiver claim will only fuel that claim.
The Packers’ way of doing business is so dyed-in-the-wool it’s hard not to notice when they’re doing things differently. And sometimes different feels bad. Weird. Uncomfortable. Reckless, even. Especially when money’s involved. First, the Packers spent $500,000 just for a look at Trevon Diggs, the former All-Pro cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. One meaningless regular […]

Packers News Micah Parsons is not expected to be ready for the Green Bay Packers when the 2026 NFL season kicks off, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The All-Pro pass-rusher is a candidate to begin the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he continues recovering from a torn ACL. Parsons went down [...]
We’re continuing our deep dive into the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 draft. Previously, I have written about Dani Dennis-Sutton and RJ Maryland. Today, we’re taking a look at Jager Burton, a center out of the University of Kentucky. As you might expect, his RAS is about what you’d expect from the Packers. For a center, […]
When the Green Bay Packers play out their 2026 schedule, they will do so with one of the most bizarre and unusual slates of games of any team in recent memory. The Packers have a glut of strange weeks, and only occasionally do they play on back-to-back Sundays. In total, Green Bay will play on […]
The NFL is sending Miami to Green Bay in December with Micah Parsons likely healthy. Jeff Hafley should welcome the chance to prove his Dolphins are different.
Except for those fans who absolutely hate prime time games, the Green Bay Packers’ fan base should be very pleased with how the team’s 2026 schedule sets up. Yes, the Packers are set to play one of the toughest slates of games of any team in 2026 based on their opponents’ combined winning percentage from […]
The Green Bay Packers’ full schedule release has dropped, and as we noted at the time, the Packers got a relatively easy schedule before Week 5. That’s a notable week, because it will be the week that players who return from the physically unable to perform list are first able to return to the field […]
An hour before the NFL was set to begin its schedule release, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was able to report the full Green Bay Packers schedule, along with their kickoff times and the channels that they’ll be playing on. Prior to Yates’ report, we only had about half of the Packers’ 2026 […]
Tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up off waivers on Tuesday, had his physical failed by the team on Thursday and is now a free agent. Lachey, a Y tight end, was the type of tight end that the Packers’ room was missing. After the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted […]

Ester, 24, signed a futures contract with the Packers in early 2025 and spent the entirety of last season on their practice squad. A futures contract is a deal signed by a free agent that locks them […]
Green Bay Packers fans had better get their Netflix subscriptions renewed for the 2026 season. On Thursday morning, a little less than 12 hours before the full 2026 NFL schedule was released, a leak has been reported that the Packers will have a second game broadcast on the streaming platform around a major holiday. The […]
It’s schedule release day — or as my podcast cohost Alex Petakas sarcastically refers to it: “the day we learn the days.” No doubt you’ll be inundated with schedule-related content, so I thought I’d offer a slightly different take on a related topic. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that the Packers will face the Los Angeles […]
The Green Bay Packers continue to change up their offseason roster this week. Previously, the team added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback M.J. Devonshire off waivers.

[…]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Packers are going to need a lot of internal growth to reach their full potential this year. Yes, that’s the case for every team, and yes, that’s often the case for the Packers, but it seems to especially be the case this year. The Packers […]
Well…that was quick. A couple of hours after asking you which position groups the Green Bay Packers should add to, the Packers claimed two players off waivers. Green Bay added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback MJ Devonshire. With these additions, the Packers’ roster is now full. The two vacancies were created when tight end […]
With the release of kicker Brandon McManus, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster currently sits at 89 players, including their international exemption for defender Dante Barnett. Right now, the Packers have two open roster spots available, which makes the team’s release of McManus and their non-signing of any tryout players after rookie minicamp even more […]
