After taking on some potential cap casualties that could result in actual roster movement, we’re now firmly in what I’d gently refer to as the “bad news” portion of this project. Elgton Jenkins?

If you haven’t heard, the Green Bay Packers have hired former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon to be Jeff Hafley’s replacement as the team’s next defensive coordinator.

We’ll have more stuff on the hiring of new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon throughout the week, as there are a lot of angles to examine for what should be the biggest move that the Packers make in the 2026 offseason, but I want to get this one up quickly, because it’s a […]

Day 7 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I’d rather be preparing for a NFC Championship Game battle against the Seattle Seahawks.
