Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears took very different approaches to their Wednesday practice schedule. The Packers, off their mini-bye after playing the Detroit Lions, had a fully padded practice, which they are only allowed three of in the final six weeks of the NFL season per the collective bargaining agreement.

At different points in his college career, Green Bay Packers rookie fifth-round pick Collin Oliver was either a true edge rusher or an off-ball linebacker.

There are two certainties in an NFL season. The first is that attrition will take its toll at some point. No team makes it through a year unscathed. Sooner or later, someone, very likely more than one someone, will go down. It’s a fact of life. People get hurt playing professional football. The second is […]

The Green Bay Packers worked out six players on Tuesday, their off day this week, following three moves on their practice squad.

Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers announced that receiver Will Sheppard would be waived from the 53-man roster.

It may be stupid that the Packers are just now playing the Bears for the first time this season, but at least the game is going to matter. I’m firmly of the opinion that things are better when Packers/Bears games matter, and for too long, they haven’t. The Bears are the Packers’ oldest rival, and […]
