Packers News: A like letter to Green Bay TE Luke Musgrave

This is not a love letter. It’s more of a like letter. Among Green Bay Packers fans, tight end Luke Musgrave has been a bit of a punching bag. He’s the guy who “falls down after every catch,” the draft pick forever tied to Tucker Kraft. And in that comparison, Musgrave loses every time.  But […]

What will it take for Jordan Love to get some respect?

For a guy who only took 21 sacks during the 2025 regular season, Jordan Love sure is taking some hits this offseason. Venerable beat writer Tom Silverstein was among the first to offer pointed criticism of Love, saying in a podcast that he’d prefer Caleb Williams to Love. Then, more recently, Mike Tanier of the […]

Cardinals retain Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator

When Jonathan Gannon took over as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator, after a stint as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, many tabbed Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis to be a potential linebackers coach candidate in Green Bay. Rallis was not only Gannon’s DC in Arizona, but he was the one on-field coach […]

Packers Discussion: What do you think of the staff decisions?

There’s been some movement in Green Bay this offseason, as far as the coaching staff and the front office go, but they also are maybe not the moves some fans want to see made. Today, I want to ask you what you think about the Packers’ additions and losses, but first, let’s look at what […]

Packers to hire former SEC general manager

Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports is reporting that the Green Bay Packers “are expected to hire” Will Redmond, who last served as the general manager of the Auburn Tigers. Yes, college teams have general managers. Welcome to the NIL and portal era. This is the third front office move that we know the Packers will […]

A play for the Packers to steal from the Super Bowl

Throughout the postseason, we’ve been stealing plays from other teams and drawing them up for the Green Bay Packers to use in 2026. We’re capping off this mini series with a doozy today and taking a play that the Seahawks ran in the Super Bowl. This play happened with 13:29 left in the 4th quarter […]

Packers News: Green Bay free agency – expect more departures than arrivals 

With the Super Bowl mercifully behind us, it’s on to the offseason, and the Green Bay Packers face some sobering roster realities. A recent list, published by Greg Auman, highlights just how many Packers could hit the open market or become cap casualties. The list gathers a supposed top 100 free agents for 2026, and […]

The Green Bay Packers rank 25th in cap flexibility in 2026

Last week, when Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke to the media for the first time since the 2025 regular season kicked off, he stated, “If opportunities present themselves, we’re never not able to do those things,” in reference to the team’s cap situation. Frankly, he’s right in that the Packers can push […]

NFL Combine Snubs: Multiple national champions miss the cut in 2026

The NFL announced its list of combine invitations on Wednesday, which means we’re only one step closer to draft day. Whenever the list drops, I try to look at which players were “snubbed,” relative to the consensus draft board. For those who are unaware of the process, the combine is actually run by National (NFS), […]

Packers Draft 2026: Backup quarterback targets for Green Bay

With Malik Willis likely leaving in free agency, the Green Bay Packers need to figure out what their next plan is at backup quarterback behind Jordan Love. There’s a real chance that the Packers are content with their current situation, with Desmond Ridder returning, along with Kyle McCord being signed to a futures contract. However, […]

Packers promote Luke Getsy to quarterbacks coach

When quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion left the Green Bay Packers and took the offensive coordinator opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles, a major vacancy appeared on the team’s coaching staff. While head coach Matt LaFleur interviewed at least one outsider for the job, former Arizona Cardinals pass game coordinator Connor Senger, Mannion’s position has been backfilled […]

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Packers wide receivers look deep and talented for 2026

For essentially the entire second half of Aaron Rodgers’ career, the Packers decided investing at wide receiver really wasn’t something they wanted to do. That resulted in a pretty bare cupboard outside of Davante Adams, and by the time the team’s relationship with Adams soured, there was nobody left to step up in his absence. […]

Packers 2026 Mock Draft Round Up 1.0: What Green Bay can do with #52

The Green Bay Packers don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 draft (or the 2027 draft for that matter), and there aren’t many mock drafts that are two rounds deep at this point in the draft cycle, so our mock draft round-up won’t be nearly as consistent as it has been in other years. […]

Packers Discussion: Who do you want Green Bay to sign in free agency?

I started my first deep dive into free agency this offseason when I wrote about the cornerback market earlier today. Really, Tariq Woolen or Jaylen Watson seem to make the most sense if the Green Bay Packers are actually going to add an outside veteran at the position. I’ll get some similar pieces up at […]

Packers hire a college football pass-rush specialist

FootballScoop is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have hired former Vanderbilt pass rush specialist Will Smart to their defensive staff under defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. At the moment, Smart’s role with the team has not yet been reported, but usually, younger college coaches come to Green Bay to be defensive quality control coaches or […]

NFL Draft: Dane Brugler drops his 1st top-100 of 2026

The best public resource for NFL Draft coverage right now is probably The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, who covers the draft year-round. On Tuesday, Brugler dropped his first top-100 of the 2026 cycle, so it’s worth going through his opinions on players at the Green Bay Packers’ positions of need. Let’s take a look at who […]

What the 2026 free agent cornerback class looks like

I’m not certain that the Green Bay Packers will make a splash in free agency this offseason, considering that they’ll have limited cap space in 2026 even before extensions start rolling out. Still, one position that would be at the top of the list, if they were to make a move, would be cornerback. With […]

NFL to have talks about extending the window for traded draft choices

The NFL is basically an ever-changing league, from a rules standpoint, on a year-to-year basis. Usually, we get hints at what changes are coming down the pike around the Super Bowl, since movers and shakers in the sport are in the same spot for the first time since the spring owners’ meetings. According to ESPN’s […]

Packers free agents 2026: Quay Walker, Romeo Doubs top decisions

The 2025 NFL season is now officially in the past, with the Seattle Seahawks being named champions. To get where the Seahawks are standing now, the Green Bay Packers, who are fifth in the pecking order for Super Bowl LXI odds, will need to 1) finish healthier than they were to end the 2025 season […]

Super Bowl LX Preview: By the Numbers

Since we don’t have the Green Bay Packers playing today (alas), let’s learn a bit about the nerdier strengths and weaknesses that will be on display from the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. And while I do think there is a path to victory for the Patriots in this game, I suspect the Seahawks […]
