Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
We’re continuing our deep dive into the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 draft. Previously, I have written about Dani Dennis-Sutton and RJ Maryland. Today, we’re taking a look at Jager Burton, a center out of the University of Kentucky. As you might expect, his RAS is about what you’d expect from the Packers. For a center, […]
When the Green Bay Packers play out their 2026 schedule, they will do so with one of the most bizarre and unusual slates of games of any team in recent memory. The Packers have a glut of strange weeks, and only occasionally do they play on back-to-back Sundays. In total, Green Bay will play on […]
Except for those fans who absolutely hate prime time games, the Green Bay Packers’ fan base should be very pleased with how the team’s 2026 schedule sets up. Yes, the Packers are set to play one of the toughest slates of games of any team in 2026 based on their opponents’ combined winning percentage from […]
The Green Bay Packers’ full schedule release has dropped, and as we noted at the time, the Packers got a relatively easy schedule before Week 5. That’s a notable week, because it will be the week that players who return from the physically unable to perform list are first able to return to the field […]
An hour before the NFL was set to begin its schedule release, Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was able to report the full Green Bay Packers schedule, along with their kickoff times and the channels that they’ll be playing on. Prior to Yates’ report, we only had about half of the Packers’ 2026 […]
Tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up off waivers on Tuesday, had his physical failed by the team on Thursday and is now a free agent. Lachey, a Y tight end, was the type of tight end that the Packers’ room was missing. After the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted […]
Before we get started, yes, it is ridiculous that the NFL turns the RELEASE of the SCHEDULE into some big hairy deal that you will watch on TV. In the universal perspective, nothing could be more banal than the release of a list that is already made and out there! However… The NFL schedule is […]
Green Bay Packers fans had better get their Netflix subscriptions renewed for the 2026 season. On Thursday morning, a little less than 12 hours before the full 2026 NFL schedule was released, a leak has been reported that the Packers will have a second game broadcast on the streaming platform around a major holiday. The […]
It’s schedule release day — or as my podcast cohost Alex Petakas sarcastically refers to it: “the day we learn the days.” No doubt you’ll be inundated with schedule-related content, so I thought I’d offer a slightly different take on a related topic. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that the Packers will face the Los Angeles […]
The Green Bay Packers continue to change up their offseason roster this week. Previously, the team added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback M.J. Devonshire off waivers. On Wednesday, the Packers were awarded receiver Brenden Rice, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, from the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice originally enrolled at Colorado […]
The NFL announcement inception has finally begun for the 2026 schedule release. The league has formally revealed the date on which the league’s 2026 schedule will be announced, with the whole thing set for this Thursday, May 14. On that date, fans will finally know the dates, times, and locations of every game for the […]
On Wednesday, Netflix announced that its Thanksgiving Eve game, a 7 pm CT kickoff on Wednesday, November 25th, will be a contest between the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood. This is the first Thanksgiving Eve game, a new timeslot for the league, and it’ll be interesting to see how the league […]
As part of the NFL’s slow-dripping of its schedule release, the league announced its full international schedule on Wednesday. Based on the slate of home teams, the final possibilities for the Green Bay Packers to play globally in 2026 were either as the road team against the Detroit Lions (Germany) or New Orleans Saints (France). […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Packers are going to need a lot of internal growth to reach their full potential this year. Yes, that’s the case for every team, and yes, that’s often the case for the Packers, but it seems to especially be the case this year. The Packers […]
Well…that was quick. A couple of hours after asking you which position groups the Green Bay Packers should add to, the Packers claimed two players off waivers. Green Bay added tight end Luke Lachey and cornerback MJ Devonshire. With these additions, the Packers’ roster is now full. The two vacancies were created when tight end […]
With the release of kicker Brandon McManus, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster currently sits at 89 players, including their international exemption for defender Dante Barnett. Right now, the Packers have two open roster spots available, which makes the team’s release of McManus and their non-signing of any tryout players after rookie minicamp even more […]
Cap guru Ken Ingalls has reported some of the Green Bay Packers’ top guarantees for their undrafted free agents in the 2026 class. According to Ingalls, edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly received $247,500 in guarantees, followed by offensive linemen Josh Gesky ($200,000), receiver J. Michael Sturdivant ($200,000) and linebacker TJ Quinn ($150,000). Reporting has also dropped […]
Among the many dumb things on the NFL calendar, “schedule release week” is right up there at the top. Why does this need to be dragged out over multiple days? The schedule is finished. It’s done. The league knows when all the games are going to be played. No last minute details are being hammered […]
The NFL announced today that it’ll be releasing its full slate of games for the 2026 season on Thursday. Until then, you’re going to hear a lot of rumors about the Green Bay Packers and their upcoming schedule. Here’s our schedule tracker, where you can find all those rumors in one place. Here’s my question […]
For better or worse, the Green Bay Packers’ decision to trade a pair of seventh-round draft picks had some knock-on effects that will affect the team’s salary cap sheet in 2026. A few weeks ago, towards the end of the 2026 NFL Draft, General manager Brian Gutekunst sent both of his 7th-round selections to Seattle […]
Romeo Doubs’ departure isn’t really about his volume numbers. Sure, he led the Packers in targets, receptions, and yards, but all of those numbers come with caveats. He was more than 100 yards behind Tucker Kraft when Kraft was lost for the season, and Doubs’ target share cratered pretty much the instant Christian Watson made […]
Well, looks like there won’t be a kicking battle in training camp after all. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers have released kicker Brandon McManus, ending his tenure with the team after two seasons. McManus was on thin ice after ending the season with his worst game of 2025, missing a […]
Last week, we dug into Dani Dennis-Sutton, the Green Bay Packers 4th round pick in the 2026 draft. Today we’re going a little further down the list and taking a look at one of the undrafted free agents the Packers brought in. The Packers stayed out of the run of tight ends taken in the […]
“It’s a player’s game, man.” If there was a bottom line to Jonathan Gannon’s introductory press conference this week (if you can really introduce a coach who’s been with an organization for about four months), it was that. Gannon wants to put his new players in positions to succeed, and he’ll leave no stone unturned […]
Analytics nerds have long had access to a statistic known as WPA or “Win Percentage Added.” This statistic uses a model based on historical data which tells you approximately how likely you are to win a game based on the current game state. If you’re up by 3 points with 1:48 remaining in the game […]
