Two weeks ago, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft spilled the beans on a local radio show and told the world that the NFL has plans for every single team to play an international game every single year when the league goes up to a 20-week, 18-game regular season. NFL owners are hoping that this […]

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst to hold press conference on Wednesday

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 […]

Packers Discussion: Keep, cut or trade Nate Hobbs in 2026?

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 […]

Arizona Cardinals to hire Mike LaFleur as next head coach

It’s taken the Arizona Cardinals forever to name a head coach, but after Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak reportedly committed to the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend, it looks like the Cardinals finally have their guy. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Arizona plans to hire Mike LaFleur, brother of Matt […]

A play for the Packers to steal from the Seahawks

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, […]

Packers DB coach leaves for the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are going to hire former Green Bay Packers pass game coordinator Derrick Ansley, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. This shouldn’t be too big a surprise, since Ansley has an extensive history with the quarters system from his time with Alabama, Tennessee and the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cowboys hired their new […]

Packers Analysis: Passive vs. Active Defenses

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, […]

According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the NFL is “open to discussing” the idea of throwing penalty flags after replay review for specific types of penalties. This rule change could be decided on as early as this spring for the 2026 regular season. Per Jones, a post-play penalty flag would have to be “related to […]

The Green Bay Packers will need to make at least one move with their offensive coaching staff this offseason, as quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion left to become the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles after just one year in an on-field coaching role.

Green Bay Packers News: More on Sean Mannion’s rapid rise

Just over three years ago, Sean Mannion was employed as an NFL quarterback. Mannion spent the 2023 season bouncing between the Minnesota Vikings’ and Seattle Seahawks’ practice squads before putting an end to his playing career. Now, after two seasons as an assistant coach with the Green Bay Packers, Mannion is in charge of an […]

Packers Cap Casualties: Roster/option bonus dates that matter in 2026

Deadlines spur action, so I wanted to take a look at some key dates for some Green Bay Packers roster decisions this offseason. In total, eight of Green Bay’s veteran contracts have 2026 option bonuses or roster bonuses in their deals. What this means is that players will receive paydays early on in the offseason, […]

Packers’ Sean Mannion named Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator

The Green Bay Packers will be making at least one change to the offensive side of the ball. While they’ve lost virtually the entire defensive staff to the Miami Dolphins, the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur have held firm, so far, with offensive coaches. That was until Thursday night, when the Philadelphia Eagles signed […]

ESPN published a list of their projected top-50 free agents available for the 2026 offseason, which includes many Green Bay Packers at the top of the rankings.
