Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Packers will spend one of their Top 30 visits on Texas Tech edge rusher Romello Height, according to a report from NFL writer Ryan Fowler. Height is a 6-foot-3, 239-pound pass rushing prospect who currently projects as a Day 2 pick in this year’s NFL draft. As of this writing, he’s number 83 on […]
The Packers panopticon has turned to Phoenix, where Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur spoke to the media in between work at the annual NFL owners meetings this week. Mostly, you can ignore these updates. It’s usually a lot of happy talk and company-line talking points. We’re happy with our offseason so far, we’re going to […]
The Green Bay Packers have had their eyes on linebacker Zaire Franklin for some time now, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Gutekunst spoke to the press at the NFL league meetings this week, which included this quote about Franklin (h/t The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman): We’ve liked Zaire for a while. Quite frankly, back when […]
Beyond just extensions for tight end Tucker Kraft and receiver Christian Watson, which seem like no-brainers at this point, the Green Bay Packers are apparently eyeing another big extension in the near future. In his article covering the Packers’ current cap situation, here’s what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein had to say about defensive […]
The Green Bay Packers are heading towards the 2026 NFL Draft with a packed wide receiver room, but Georgia State wideout Ted Hurst has drawn some attention from general manager Brian Gutekunst and the team’s scouting department. Hurst was the first reported pre-draft official visit by the Packers, which comes as a bit of a […]
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that James Madison safety Jacob Thomas is going to be a Green Bay Packers pre-draft visitor. Generally, visitors have a much higher rate of being added to the Packers than non-visitors, be it via the draft, undrafted free agency or later down the line. Thomas is […]
For all of the hand-wringing about the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 offseason, one thing is clear: the team was content to move on from several players who were key members of the roster in 2025. The departures of Romeo Doubs, Quay Walker, and Rasheed Walker in free agency, Elgton Jenkins and Nate Hobbs via cut, […]
The Rich Bisaccia saga has been one of the more bizarre events of the 2026 NFL offseason, and it was certainly the weirdest thing to happen around the Green Bay Packers so far this year. The team’s former special teams coordinator abruptly resigned from his post in late January, well after most of the coaching […]
Each spring, between the start of free agency and the NFL Draft, the 32 NFL teams descend on a single location to discuss league business. Owners, executives, coaches, and media members all get trapped in one conference center for a few days to give a status update on their teams and the league as a […]
Before the NFL league meetings next week, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur spoke to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network about the status of LaFleur’s team going into the 2026 season. Beyond some kind words about quarterback Jordan Love, the most notable thing LaFleur said was about the injury status of tight end […]
According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, the Green Bay Packers are bringing in Louisville off-ball linebacker T.J. Quinn for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers’ pre-draft visitors have a high chance of being added to Green Bay’s roster, either in the draft, undrafted free agency or further down the line. Louisville just had […]
The United Football League will kick off on Friday night, as the Louisville Kings will host the Birmingham Stallions in a game you can catch on Fox. Since the spring league season is here, it’s time for us to take our yearly deep dive into rosters and figure out who some former Green Bay Packers […]
National writers seem pretty down on the Packers lately. I don’t share most of their concerns, but perhaps they’re legitimate. Reasonable people can disagree, and maybe they have some insights those of us who cover the team closely don’t. But one thing I don’t get is the fixation on the snaps the Packers have lost. […]
The Packers have started their pre-draft visits, reportedly setting up a date with wide receiver Ted Hurst. Hurst, a 6-foot-4, 206-pound wide receiver out of Georgia State, is already in demand during visit season. In addition to meeting with the Packers, he has reportedly set up visits with the Colts and Falcons. Hurst launched his […]
When you’re the starting quarterback of an NFL team, your time is precious. Everyone wants a piece of that limited resource, particularly in the offseason when there’s more to go around. That’s the case for Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers, who has plenty of commitments this spring. On Thursday, Love was in Milwaukee […]
On top of Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks being diagnosed with a broken foot, NFL.com’s Eric Edholm is now reporting that two other defensive tackles in the upcoming draft class are dealing with medical issues. To say the least, the top of the defensive tackle class is a little banged up. Per Edholm, Mississippi nose […]
Assuming that the Green Bay Packers will be playing a 3-4 base this year, which all signs are pointing to as of March 26th, the Packers still need one more starting defensive lineman to pair with Devonte Wyatt, who should be back on the field around minicamp, and the recently signed Javon Hargrave. Because of […]
While gambling institutions are pretty high on the 2026 Green Bay Packers, holding their current win total at 10.5, there is a sense among some pundits that Green Bay may come crashing down to earth while the division champion Chicago Bears remain ascendant. We here at Acme Packing Company are fans of the team, yes, […]
Ah, yes. Big Opinion season. Look, I get it. The content monster doesn’t care that it’s March 26th. It demands sacrifice. So, if you’re a nationally known football opinion haver, you need to keep having opinions. That’s what you get paid for. Me too, for that matter (hence the clickbait headline of today’s Curds). The […]
It’s a relatively slow news period for the Green Bay Packers right now, as it appears that the whole league has opted out of free agency until the draft. So, we might as well talk about the draft. Here’s a quick mock I did with the NFL Mock Draft Database simulator: #52: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, […]
Free agency in football is a little bit like running the ball. You cannot win without it to some extent, but it’s also fundamentally inefficient. Still, for many fans (and some analysts), a lack of activity in free agency represents something of an offseason failure. People are more comfortable with players they know and free […]
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a callsheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 5th article in the series, where we’re looking at 2nd & short (where “short” is defined […]
Free agency seems like a dull and distant memory, and the NFL Draft is lightyears away. The offseason must be essentially over, right? Wrong! But you know this. You know there’s still a lot of work for the Packers to do, and there’s a good chance they’re gaming out moves right now. Here’s a pretty […]
As we broke down earlier this month, when we covered all of the Green Bay Packers’ injuries going into the 2026 season, the Packers are going to have a tough decision to make when it comes to star edge rusher Micah Parsons, coming off a torn ACL. As the rules state, at the moment, he […]
The Packers, their fans, and members of Bob Harlan’s family gathered in the Lambeau Field atrium Monday to remember Harlan’s life and career. Credited as one of the men responsible for turning the Packers around in the 1990s, Harlan had no shortage of people willing to say good things about him. And that’s for two […]
