Latest news and updates about the Packers
With the next set of OTAs beginning today, the Cleveland Browns made a roster move by signing cornerback Tyron Herring (6-1, 200 lbs). Herring was an undrafted free agent out of Deleware who signed with the Green Bay Packers in 2025. He didn’t make their final roster, but caught on with the Patriots’ practice squad […]
The 2026 Green Bay Packers season is (kinda, sorta) off and running as of today with the start of Organized Team Activities, or OTAs. Not training camp. Not minicamp. OTAs. But just like those other two things, we’re talking about practice. This is the actual work of building an NFL team. Brian Gutekunst can go […]
Training camp roster battles are basically a myth. A team’s roster is basically set by the time the dust settles after the first week of free agency, and whatever details need to be sorted out are pretty much taken care of by the end of the NFL Draft. The idea that someone comes out of […]
The Green Bay Packers’ schedule in 2026 has something that is exceedingly rare in the NFL, but particularly so in franchise history. The team will play four of its final five regular season games at home, all coming on or after December 13th. But as we found out this week, the Packers actually used to […]
The Chicago Bears have picked up former Green Bay Packers safety Anthony Johnson Jr. as they get ready for organized team activities next week. Johnson was originally drafted in the seventh round by the Packers in 2023, playing 12 regular-season games as a rookie before being waived by Green Bay at the roster cutdown deadline […]
The Green Bay Packers will start organized team activities (OTAs) next Tuesday, May 26th. While the Packers have already begun their offseason workouts, this gives us the first opportunity to hear from coaches and players about practices for the first time in 2026. It’s still a long way until minicamp on June 9th and training […]
We’ve seen life without Micah Parsons, and it’s not great. When Parsons was in the lineup for the Packers, their defense was respectable. Good, even. Parsons’ quarterback stalking abilities put the Packers in at least the top third of defenses league-wide, and his ability to destroy any play at any time made them a threat […]
The Bears have signed veteran safety Anthony Johnson Jr., Jordan Schultz reported on Wednesday night. Johnson, 26, was a seventh-round pick by the Packers out of Iowa State in the 2023 NFL Draft. He made the 53-man roster and started in four games as a rookie, tallying an interception, three pass deflections, and 24 tackles […]
UPDATE: Per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, Rodgers’ contract comes with a $22 million base salary, fully guaranteed, with two $250,000 roster bonuses: the first will be paid Aug. 7., and the second will be paid Week 1, making them near-guarantees. As previously reported, there are also four $625,000 incentives for playoff wins. As predicted in […]
After years of will-he, won’t-he drama in the offseason, former Green Bay Packers quarterback and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers has officially stated that 2026 will be his last year in the NFL. In his press conference in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, he replied, “This is it,” when asked if he would retire after the […]
The high-profile reunion between Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh brings their legendary Green Bay partnership into a completely transformed NFL landscape. PFF advanced stats reveal that this 42-year-old version of Rodgers operates under strict physical constraints, heavily relying on ultra-quick releases and check-downs. This deep dive analyzes how McCarthy's modern schematic adaptations must adjust to maximize a declining veteran quarterback.
It doesn’t make any difference to me whether or not an undrafted free agent makes the Packers roster, and it probably shouldn’t to you. The Packers 21-year streak is as much a coincidence as it is an organizational philosophy or an indication that they’re doing anything that any other team isn’t trying to do. But […]
The Miami Dolphins are into their first set of Organized Team Activities for the 2026 offseason training program, getting the players into offense versus defense drills for the first time this year. With a new head coach in former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley leading the way, the Dolphins are looking to rebuild […]
The NFL Draft was nearly a month ago, and the Packers signed their undrafted free agents only a little less than that. In light of those facts, let me offer you some timely analysis: I think Nyjalik Kelly has a real good shot of making a run at a roster spot this summer. It’s going […]
The Green Bay Packers used their final available roster spot to sign former Vanderbilt cornerback Marlon Jones, a move that was first reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz on Monday. The Packers had an open roster spot following the failed physical of tight end Luke Lachey and are up to a full 91-man offseason roster. […]
The Packers quarterback is mocked for his "R-E-L-A-X" quote following loss to Seahawks.
The Green Bay Packers’ summer roster is mostly set, as the team has just one open roster spot available at the time of this article. I took the time to go position-by-position through the Packers’ roster and pin down what the biggest question I have for each position group going into camp, the things I’ll […]
If you missed it, the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 schedule was announced last week. Today, I want people to lock in their predictions on which games the Packers will or won’t win this upcoming season. If you need a refresher, this is what Green Bay’s schedule will look like. Packers 2026 Schedule Personally, I think […]

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 […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … 2026 NFL Schedule Rest Disparity: Teams Helped & Hurt – Sharp Football AnalysisThis year, SEVEN teams play 5+ games with a rest disadvantage: 7 – Chargers, 5 – Eagles, Rams, Packers, Chiefs, Steelers, Dolphins.

The Packers have both a new special teams coordinator and a new kicker. Naturally, one is going to get questions about the other. And since the new kicker most recently did the bulk of the kicking in the historically balmy state of Florida, people want to know whether or not he can make the transition […]
