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, […]

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.

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.

After touching on Elgton Jenkins, Rashan Gary, Josh Jacobs, Keisean Nixon, and Nate Hobbs, my tour through potential cap casualties in Green Bay concludes with a look at Aaron Banks.

The Miami Dolphins have essentially taken the entire defensive staff from the 2025 Green Bay Packers, along with vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan and pro scout Venzell Boulware, this offseason. While Packers South is getting a lot of attention, Packers East is starting to develop, too. If you haven’t heard, former Green Bay […]

In its 2026 projection of the NFL’s Top 100 players, Sports Illustrated has shined a spotlight on what some see as a scarcity of elite talent for the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers continue to see vacancies pop up on their defensive coaching staff this week, but Matt LaFleur and Jonathan Gannon are hard at work filling them as they appear.

Coming into Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers had lost defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, linebackers coach Sean Duggan and defensive backs coach Ryan Downard to the Miami Dolphins.

For the most part, teams that play a quarters system at the NFL level usually like to play with a 3-4 front. Personnel doesn’t matter as much when teams are in their nickel sets, but it does when they’re in their base defense — which is usually what defensive coordinators call to match multiple-tight-end or […]

Packers fans who love the NFL Draft are in an interesting predicament this offseason. On the one hand, the Packers have no first round pick this year (or next) thanks to the Micah Parsons trade.
