Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
No matter what happens with Josh Jacobs’ legal situation, the Packers were probably going to have to do without him at some point this season, anyway. Jacobs turned 28 in February. He’s touched the ball more than 2,100 times in his NFL career. He played a career low 554 snaps last season due to a […]
The Green Bay Packers are in the news for the wrong reasons this week after running back Josh Jacobs turned himself in to authorities while being booked with five different charges related to domestic abuse. There are far more important and serious matters to discuss involving this arrest, the allegations, an ongoing investigation, and the […]
Present circumstances notwithstanding, the Packers’ backup running back situation was already a bit of a mystery. Chris Brooks has been useful, but has never played a particularly big role. 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd had hurt about every body part you can imagine. It’s spare parts and undrafted free agent types beyond that. That’s […]
On Tuesday, Green Bay Packers starting running back Josh Jacobs turned himself in to the Hobart/Lawrence Police Department, just west of Green Bay. According to the police department’s statement, they were “dispatched to a disturbance complaint” involving Jacobs at 8:37 a.m. on Saturday, May 23rd. Jacobs is currently booked with five charges: The strangulation and […]
There’s not that much debate about who will be in the preferred starting lineup for the Green Bay Packers in 2026. If everyone is healthy, the offense seems pretty set. On defense, the questions revolve around who will be the third defensive lineman in 3-4 looks (either Karl Brooks, rookie Chris McClellan or others) or […]
Over the next couple of weeks, we’re going to do deep dives at every position on the Green Bay Packers’ roster, touching on every single player currently on the 91-man team. Today, we’re going to start with the quarterback position, where there’s no drama around who will be QB1, but three of the four quarterbacks […]
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 […]
This question is pretty straightforward: Which game are you most looking forward to in 2026? If you need a refresher, here’s the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 schedule: Personally, I’m circling the Week 5 game against the Chicago Bears. It’ll be the first time that the Packers have a chance to avenge their playoff loss from […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
By the end of the 2026 season, after the Dallas Cowboys play in Mexico City, the Green Bay Packers will have played the fewest games internationally of any NFL club. That could be changing in the near future. On Tuesday, the NFL’s owners approved the league to schedule 10 international games moving forward, up from […]
Cards on the table: as annoying as the pre-release stuff is for the NFL schedule, I do like digging into some of the nitty gritty of the ins and outs of the schedule. Does it matter? Not to me, of course. I don’t have to play the games. But it is important, as our Paul […]
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 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 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 […]
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 […]
