Latest news and updates about the Packers
The “will they/won’t they/should they” dance over Matt LaFleur’s contract extension last month soaked up just about all of the available discourse resources among Packers watchers. But that wasn’t the only new deal that got done: in addition to LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst also got a new deal, as did cap savant Russ Ball. […]

When it comes to draft rankings, I think it’s important to evaluate the evaluator. To me, there’s no one in the business doing better work on offensive linemen than Brandon Thorn, who currently drops his draft prospect rankings on Bleacher Report as part of their B/R NFL Scouting Dept. series. Thorn, whom I have previously […]

The Arizona Cardinals introduced their newest new head coach, Mike LaFleur at an introductory press conference. LaFleur was flanked by his family, and his brother, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.

So far, the Green Bay Packers have reportedly set up only one interview for their quarterback coaching vacancy, which was left open when Sean Mannion took the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator job. The coach, a Wisconsin native, is former Arizona Cardinals pass game coordinator Connor Senger, who received a promotion every year under Jonathan Gannon, […]

The Packers broke a two-decade streak when they picked Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. An exciting and explosive player in college, Golden looked like a great addition to a Packers offense that was already full of playmakers. And then that stable of playmakers made it hard for Golden to […]

Jeff Hafley has been busy assembling his coaching staff with the latest news reporting he will retain two defensive assistants that were on staff with the Miami Dolphins last year. Linebackers coach Joe Barry will be sticking around and funny enough, Barry was replaced by Hafley when the Green Bay Packers decided to make a […]

It’s not often that Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst speaks to the media. Last year, he held one of his few media obligations, his end-of-year press conference, on January 17th. Obviously, this year’s edition has been pushed weeks later, in part because the team only officially announced his extension (along with the extension […]

I think all Green Bay Packers fans realize we’re not getting much bang for our buck from the 2025 free agent class. Usually, free agency is a bad bet. Teams just don’t allow good, healthy players to hit the open market often, especially in an era where cash spending is so much higher than the […]

Anthony Weaver is no longer the defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins after the team hired former Green Bay Packers linebackers coach Sean Duggan to be their new defensive coordinator — although newly hired head coach Jeff Hafley has stated that he will call Miami’s defensive plays. According to various reports on Monday, Weaver will […]

The NFL was off this weekend, as the Super Bowl awaits next Sunday. The pre-Super Bowl bye week was even extra quiet this year thanks to the Pro Bowl Games being moved out to Tuesday. But what stayed busy was the league’s hiring cycle. The final two head coaching vacancies now appear to be filled, […]

Christian Parker is building out his defensive coaching staff, and on Saturday he added a big name: former Packers pass game coordinator Derrick Ansley. Ansley will serve in the same capacity in Dallas as he did in Green Bay, coaching defensive backs and coordinating the pass game. It should be noted that the Packers defense […]

While the Miami Dolphins have been plucking away parts of the Green Bay Packers throughout the last couple of weeks, it was uncertain what the role of former Packers linebackers coach Sean Duggan would be for Jeff Hafley’s new staff. On Sunday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Duggan, who was co-defensive coordinator for Hafley for […]

Last week, I mentioned that I like to go through offenses around the league during the week, find fun things, then work them into the Green Bay Packers playbook. With only two games last weekend – and one of them short on offense – there wasn’t a lot of film to go through. Last week, […]

The Dallas Cowboys are adding another hire on the defensive side of the ball under new coordinator Christian Parker. They’re bringing on Green Bay Packers passing-game coordinator Derrick Ansley. Dallas also recently hired Arizona Cardinals cornerbacks coach Ryan Smith. Ansley started his coaching career in the NFL in 2018 when he was hired as the […]

Darrell Bevell is out as the Miami Dolphins quarterback coach and is being replaced by Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett brings head coach experience, although it was rather unsuccessful with the Denver Broncos in 2022. He was working last season as a defensive assistant under Jeff Hafley with the Green Bay Packer and has also jumped around […]

I’m not sure whether Jonathan Gannon will be a good, poor, or medium defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. It is, in fact, virtually impossible to tell how good or bad any defensive coordinator is without an insanely long track record. Jeff Hafley coordinated the seventh-best defense in the NFL (by DVOA) in 2024, […]

A lot of people are clamoring for a new punt returner for the Green Bay Packers, so I decided to take a look at the upcoming draft class to see what was available. What became very clear to me early on is that the man for the job is Baylor’s Josh Cameron, a 6’1”, 223-pound […]

Well, there will be a lot of time for me to get into some of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive film. But for now, here are some immediate schematic takeaways based on what I’ve read about new Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. I did scout Green Bay’s offense this year, too, so I already […]
