Packers bring back Arron Mosby

According to Pro Football Talk, the Green Bay Packers have re-signed “defensive end” Arron Mosby. This was previously reported by Easton Butler on Thursday, but Pro Football Talk confirmed that Mosby officially was signed by the Packers, per the league wire, on Monday. Butler stated that Green Bay signed Mosby to a minimum deal, while […]

The Packers may have an overlooked need for slot defenders

The Green Bay Packers have made a habit over the last few years of trying to turn slot cornerbacks into outside ones, having some fans believe that they could always kick one back inside to solve any injury-related issues. However, with the way the roster is currently built, adding another slot defender might be an […]

Green Bay Packers News: Packers’ remaining needs are well-defined

Nose tackle, cornerback, edge rusher, and offensive line. Those positions appear to be the areas where the Green Bay Packers still need reinforcements the most as the team comes out of free agency and heads towards the 2026 NFL Draft, which will begin in just over a month. Thankfully, all of those spots aside from […]

Flag football matchup between Team USA and NFL players didn’t go as expected

The first addition of the Flag Football Classic, originally scheduled for Saudi Arabia and later moved to Los Angeles, was played on Saturday. For months, we’ve been hearing that NFL players would beat Team USA if the two were ever met face-to-face, a point of contention for both sides, as both groups believe they should […]

The NFL’s broadcast partners seem split on the league’s price hike asks

At this point, you probably already know that the NFL is attempting to renegotiate its broadcast deals mid-way through its current contracts. Once regulators approved the NFL’s swap of the NFL Network (and other assets) for equity in ESPN, commissioner Roger Goodell and co. went to work on getting their current broadcast partners to accept […]

Christian Wilkins to play in 2026, has interest from 26 teams

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, 26 teams have reached out to former Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins’ camp in anticipation of his return to the NFL in 2026. Per agent David Mulugheta, by way of Schefter, Wilkins is still rehabbing a foot injury that he suffered in 2024. Last July, the Raiders voided […]

Matt LaFleur improved on challenges and fourth down aggressiveness in 2025

Early last season, I criticized Matt LaFleur’s game management after the latest in a series of questionable challenge calls went against the Packers. Now, with the 2025 season firmly in the rearview mirror, I’m happy to report that LaFleur must read Acme Packing Company. Not only did he shore up his pitiable track record on […]

Packers met with Missouri corner Toriano Pride Jr. at the NFL Combine

The Packers are broadly expected to invest some of their capital in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft in their secondary, and for good reason. Even with the acquisition of Benjamin St-Juste, the Packers could badly use some depth at cornerback, in addition to some help at the top end of the depth chart. Basically they […]

The Packers’ 2022 Draft class continues to pay dividends

Few roles in an NFL franchise draw as much criticism as the general manager, and few teams’ fan bases criticize the GM more than the Green Bay Packers. The expectations are high for this franchise and for its front office, and rightfully so, but one recent analysis shows that the Packers are the best-drafting team […]

Gary, Jenkins departures close the book on the Packers’ 2019 draft class

Brian Gutekunst has now been the Packers’ general manager for nearly a decade. 2026 will be his ninth draft as GM, and if you needed any more evidence that you’re getting old, here’s a sobering fact: the Packers have now completely cycled two full Gutekunst draft classes on and off the roster. Last year the […]

Green Bay Packers News: Welcome back the 3-4 base defense

The Green Bay Packers have been giving hints that the team will return to a 3-4 base defense in 2026 under new coordinator Jonathan Gannon, but the team’s coaching announcements on Thursday all but locked that in place. When announcing the team’s full coaching staff for the coming season, a subtle piece of information that […]

Green Bay Packers officially announce full 2026 coaching staff

Months after other teams have made their official staff announcements for the 2026 season, the Green Bay Packers have officially finalized their coaching staff for the upcoming season. Let’s break down the new offensive, defensive and special teams staff. Offensive Staff Former Packers quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy returned to the team […]

Packers hire another offensive assistant

According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the Green Bay Packers will hire T.C. McCartney to the team’s coaching staff for the 2026 season. His role at this point is undefined, other than “offensive assistant.” The former backup quarterback at LSU entered the coaching world immediately after his playing days and got his start with the […]

Are the Packers actually having a bad offseason?

I was scrolling through BlueSky on Wednesday morning when I came across this post from Mike Tanier, which sort of threw me for a loop. And this even more so. And by the way, I like and respect Mike and always read his stuff (and you should too), but this level of criticism for what […]

The NFL is preparing for replacement referees in 2026

All while the NFL is renegotiating broadcast deals to secure a 50 percent increase in broadcast fees, it is starting a war with the NFL Referees Association. According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN, the league “is laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season.” If you’ll remember, the NFL last did this back in 2012, […]

Packers Discussion: Which players would you extend this offseason?

According to Over The Cap, the Green Bay Packers currently have $23.5 million in cap space this offseason, and they are expected to have $67.5 million in cap space in the 2027 season. Whatever goes unused in 2026, which at this point could be in the $13.7 million range, will be added to their 2027 […]

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Are the Packers making the grade in free agency?

Free agency has come and gone (well, not really — you can still sign whoever you want, but you get it), and we’re now in the season of free agency grades. Never mind that nobody knows how these players will fit with their new teams. Never mind that every free agent signing will be augmented […]

NFLPA elects former Packers player as head of union

Former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman JC Tretter, who earned a degree in Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell, was elected the executive director of the NFLPA on Tuesday, making Tretter the first former player to lead the union since Gene Upshaw (1983 to 2008). Tretter is now the third executive director that the NFLPA […]

Packers 2026 Mock Draft Round Up 2.0: EDGE in play at #52?

It’s been a month since our last mock draft round-up, and free agency has changed some things for the Green Bay Packers. With that in mind, let’s check out who analysts have the Packers taking at the top of the draft, now that the clubs have had added or lost talent during this free agency […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers setting up for season ahead

The new NFL league year is less than a week old. Have we figured out the 2026 Packers yet? Obviously not, but we’re well on our way. The Packers made a series of fairly conservative moves leading up to and during the league’s (deep sigh) “legal tampering” period, shoring up depth at linebacker, cornerback, and […]

Packers Discussion: Who are your draft crushes?

We’re sort of transitioning out of free agency here and into draft mode, considering that the free agent market has slowed down and the Green Bay Packers clearly want to collect their compensatory picks for 2027. If there are some cap casualties down the line, I could see the Packers making a move, but I […]

How many Packers went to March Madness schools?

If you need a little help finding a rooting interest for this year’s tournament, we took the time to find all of the Green Bay Packers connections between the team’s current roster and the colleges participating in March Madness this year. I’m not much of a college basketball guy myself, but I’m going to try […]

The Packers adjusted Zaire Franklin’s contract already

Since the Green Bay Packers traded for their new projected starting Mike linebacker Zaire Franklin, he had no remaining guarantees left on his deal. In theory, he could have been a very flexible piece for the Packers this summer, as they could have chosen to move off him, via a release or trade, before his […]
