Packers Top Plays of 2025: Honorable Mentions
On Monday, Acme Packing Company will begin our countdown of the Top Plays of the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season. The list will officially start with play #10 as voted on by our contributors, but before we get to the top ten, it’s time to look at a few plays that just barely missed the […]
Green Bay Packers News: 2026 is the Year of the Tucker Takeover
A former Green Bay Packers tight end once had a slogan: “Year of the Takeover,” abbreviated to YOTTO. Jermichael Finley was a productive, playmaking tight end during his brief career, to be sure, but the promised takeover never quite arrived, with his 2011 season being his high-water mark (55 catches, 767 yards, 8 TDs). That […]
How the Packers’ UDFA guarantees stack up to the rest of the NFL
Now that minicamps have concluded, we finally have an official record of all of the contracts that undrafted free agents have signed this draft cycle. Yes, it does take this long for all of the official numbers to be reported in. We’ve touched on some of the numbers that the Green Bay Packers’ undrafted free […]
NFL announces dates for 2027 draft
Draft season has officially bled into May. On Thursday, the NFL announced the dates of the 2027 draft, which will be held in Washington, D.C. The draft will stretch from April 29th to May 1st. This will be the first time that the draft has spilled over into May since 2021, the first post-Covid draft. […]
Packers News: Should TE Luke Musgrave be on the trading block?
The Green Bay Packers drafted Luke Musgrave in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. At the time, they obviously envisioned a dynamic pass-catching tight end who could stretch defenses and become a featured weapon in Matt LaFleur’s offense. Three years later, it’s fair to say he’s disappointed, particularly compared to his counterpart, Tucker […]
The gap in the tight end market is starting to fill: What it means for Tucker Kraft
Prior to Tuesday, there were no tight ends in the NFL who were on multi-year contracts that averaged between $19 million per year and $13.3 million per year. As you can imagine, that was a pretty significant gap in the market for teams, players and representation to operate in. Then, Kyle Pitts signed a three-year, […]
Packers tackle depth will be tested in 2026
The Packers have gone through a lot of offensive line turnover in the still pretty young Jordan Love era. Of the five linemen who blocked for Love in Week 1 of the 2023 season, just one (Zach Tom) is still on the roster, and his availability is somewhat in doubt for the early portions of […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Defensive Line
Let’s finally turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball in our positional preview series. First up is the interior defensive line, where the Green Bay Packers’ new 3-4 defense should help the run game that seemed to wear down as games progressed in 2025. Still, there are some personnel questions going into […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Packers again banking on internal growth
I wrote yesterday about the Packers’ supposedly being one of the losers of the NFL’s offseason, which, while not exactly a widespread talking point, has certainly popped up here and there for the last few months. Obviously I am not amenable to that position. I don’t think the Packers have had a uniquely bad offseason, […]
The NFL declines Brendan Sorsby’s supplemental draft request
Former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who was banned from the NCAA after a record of gambling on his own team dating back to his days as a backup at Indiana was discovered, applied for the NFL’s supplemental draft a couple of weeks ago after he ended a series of legal challenges against the NCAA. […]
Kyle Pitts signs extension, doesn’t reset tight end market
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported that the Atlanta Falcons have reached a three-year, $54 million extension with tight end Kyle Pitts, who was previously on a one-year franchise tag that would have paid him $15 million. Over the course of three years, Pitts will now be paid an average of $18 million per year. […]
Breaking down the Packers’ dynamic duos
Carter Bahns of CBS Sports recently broke down several of the NFL’s top “dynamic duos,” but sadly, no Packers made the cut. That’s not to say there aren’t dynamic pairs of Packers. Plenty of high-performing Packers players come in pairs, and their partnerships could power positive…outcomes (okay, I ran out of words that start with […]
Packers Discussion: Who will take the biggest jump in 2026?
Let’s have some fun with this one. Which Green Bay Packers player do you think will take the biggest jump in the upcoming season? To me, there are a couple of candidates. One is Jordan Morgan, who will be moving to the tackle position full-time, where he’s played significantly better than at guard, in his […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers named one of NFL’s biggest offseason losers
Is there any more peak offseason content than talking about the offseason during the offseason? I don’t know, but that’s where we’re at. With about a month to go until the Packers open their 2026 training camp, we’re at the point in the offseason when it seems all that most national writers can write about […]
How the Bears Botched Their Stadium Process
Aren’t you glad you cheer for a team with a decentralized ownership structure with the ability to raise capital as needed? I know I am. Makes me happy. The Chicago Bears, though. The Bears are owned by the McCaskey family, and their primary business is the Bears. They’re not owned by billionaires who made their […]
Packers preseason opponents skip joint practices
It’s already been announced that the Green Bay Packers will have a joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals going into the final week of the preseason, but upon the announcement, it was interesting to me that the Packers only had one set of joint practices this year – as head coach Matt LaFleur has generally […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Offensive Line
It’s time to turn our attention to the offensive line, the unit most Green Bay Packers fans have questions about on the offensive side of the ball. Before going into the line, though, read our previews on the quarterback, receiver and tight end positions, if you haven’t already. LT Jordan Morgan LG Aaron Banks C […]
Green Bay Packers News: Will Matthew Golden break out in 2026?
Much to the frustration of eager Packers fans, Green Bay spent much of first-round WR Matthew Golden’s rookie season bringing him along slowly. Injuries and a crowded receiver room limited his opportunities, and he finished the year with just 29 receptions for 361 yards and one touchdown. However, the team has taken many actions this […]
Alex Freeman, son of Antonio Freeman, scores for US in World Cup
Alex Freeman, 21, had only scored in two previous games for the U.S. National team before Friday’s World Cup match against Australia. The son of Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer Antonio Freeman was able to punch in a header to give the Americans a 2-0 lead in the first half. The goal was initially […]
Former Packer Mike Pennel is a ‘person of interest’ in the death of missing woman
Former Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Mike Pennel, who has also played with the New York Jets, New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals, is now being described as a “person of interest” in the possible homicide of a missing woman, according to authorities in the Dominican Republic, per […]
Packers reveal 2026 training camp schedule with 12 public practices
Start getting your summer schedules in order. The Green Bay Packers have released their schedule for training camp this year, with the first practice set for Wednesday, July 29th. The Packers will have 12 practice sessions that are open to the public this year, not including the team’s annual Family Night. Each of their first […]
Green Bay Packers News: Christian Watson’s incentives revealed
The contract that Christian Watson signed recently dropped down in apparent value by about $15 million once the deal’s structure was revealed, and this Friday morning the details of those incentives have been released. The Green bay Packers will surely hope that Watson hits many of these incentives, which would pay out based on receiving […]
UFL 2026 tracker: Which players are coming to the NFL?
The UFL season has concluded, as the expansion Louisville Kings defeated the DC Defenders in the championship game last weekend. With the league’s season now over, a new crop of players has become available for NFL teams to sign. The Green Bay Packers have added plenty of spring league players over the years, with the […]
Thursday Cheese Curds: Packers’ corners already drawing attention
No position on defense needed more attention than cornerback this offseason. And, arguably, no position got more. The Packers retained both starting corners from a year ago, fixed their mistake by moving on from Nate Hobbs, signed Benjamin St-Juste, and drafted Brandon Cisse in the second round. Given the resources available, that’s about as comprehensive […]
Packers Discussion: Who makes the 53-man roster — post-minicamp edition
With minicamp now over and the veterans out for summer break, let’s take another stab at the 53-man roster. I don’t think too much has changed since our post-draft prediction, and there wasn’t anything earth-shattering at minicamp (outside of Micah Parsons announcing that he will start the year on the PUP list), but maybe there […]
