Thursday Cheese Curds: Packers’ corners already drawing attention
No position on defense needed more attention than cornerback this offseason. And, arguably, no position got more. The Packers retained both starting corners from a year ago, fixed their mistake by moving on from Nate Hobbs, signed Benjamin St-Juste, and drafted Brandon Cisse in the second round. Given the resources available, that’s about as comprehensive […]
Packers Discussion: Who makes the 53-man roster — post-minicamp edition
With minicamp now over and the veterans out for summer break, let’s take another stab at the 53-man roster. I don’t think too much has changed since our post-draft prediction, and there wasn’t anything earth-shattering at minicamp (outside of Micah Parsons announcing that he will start the year on the PUP list), but maybe there […]
The story of Mike Wahle, the Packers’ only pick in the supplemental draft
With Brendan Sorsby a potential target in this summer’s supplemental draft, now’s the perfect time to look back at the one and only time the Packers have made a pick in the bidding war that is the NFL’s second draft. Let’s turn back the clock to 1998 for the story of Mike Wahle. Like Sorsby, […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Can Lukas Van Ness finally capitalize on his potential?
For years, Lukas Van Ness has lived in a place called potential. Everything about Van Ness as a prospect has been tantalizing. A raw but promising skill set as a pass rusher. Incredible athleticism. Positional versatility. He has always had it all. And what has it become? Not much, if we’re being honest. The promise […]
Green Bay Packers News: Chris Brooks could be an insurance policy
Chris Brooks won’t lead the team in rushing and probably won’t generate many headlines this summer. But there is an argument that no backup on the Green Bay Packers’ offense carries more importance in 2026. The truth is, there’s uncertainty surrounding the running back room. While MarShawn Lloyd remains an intriguing athlete and someone I’ve […]
Packers Discussion: Should Green Bay be interested in Brendan Sorsby?
If you haven’t heard the news, former Indiana, Cincinnati and now Texas Tech quarterback Bredan Sorsby has applied for the 2026 supplemental draft. Sorsby (and Tech) was previously fighting to remain eligible to play college football this year after the NCAA attempted to ban him from the sport after it was revealed that he had […]
Packers re-sign TE Luke Lachey, release WR
Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers picked up former Houston Texans tight end Luke Lachey on waivers when he became available. Upon reporting to Green Bay, though, the Packers failed Lachey’s physical, even though the Texans didn’t waive him with an injured designation. Now, Lachey’s injury issues seem to be in the past, as […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: 3rd & Short
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 8th article in the series, where we’re looking at 3rd & Short (where “Short” […]
Green Bay Packers News: Packers’ World Cup connection is off to good start
Your average sports fan isn’t worried about American Football for the next several weeks. No, the other football is dominating sports discussion in North America, thanks to the 2026 World Cup taking place across the continent. From seeing the residents of Lawrence, Kansas endearingly open their hometown to the Algerian national team to German fans […]
Did trying to get bigger on the offensive line actually work for the Packers?
The Packers have made a conscious effort over the past couple of years to get bigger on their offensive line. It seemed obvious at a glance: they signed the generously proportioned Aaron Banks last spring, then spent a second round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Anthony Belton, who didn’t get the nickname “Escalade” […]
The long-term effects of the Packers’ pre-draft visit strategy
Tracking the Packers’ pre-draft visits is always a good idea. I’ve wrote about this several times in this year’s pre-draft prep process, and, true to form, the Packers did what they always do. Four pre-draft visitors are now in Green Bay: quarterback Kyron Drones, edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly, linebacker T.J. Quinn, and offensive lineman Josh […]
Fantasy football is ruining our ability to evaluate players
Over the last few weeks, my timeline and mentions have been filled with unnecessary discourse about two of the top receivers on the Green Bay Packers in Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Immediately following Watson’s extension, which was initially reported as being worth up to $110 million, social media was full of people saying things […]
What does a role for MarShawn Lloyd actually look like?
MarShawn Lloyd has been little more than an idea for his two years in Green Bay. A 2024 third round pick out of USC, Lloyd has seen the field for just one regular season game in the intervening two years. He’s been injured so much we can’t even given him the Christian Watson caveat. We […]
Green Bay Packers News: School’s (almost) out for summer
For most members of the Green Bay Packers’ roster, it’s summer break time. The Packers wrapped up minicamp on Thursday with a third and final practice for the week, after which veterans were released for the summer. Rookies will stick around for one more week of OTAs, but for most players, the time off begins […]
Packers Minicamp Recap: Defense wins the day
In his pre-practice press conference leading up to the final practice of the Green Bay Packers’ mandatory minicamp, head coach Matt LaFleur outlined the timeline for practices moving forward. According to LaFleur, veterans will have next week off, while rookies will be participating in voluntary organized team activities. On top of that, LaFleur announced that […]
Thursday Cheese Curds: Jager Burton making an early impression in Green Bay
For a fifth-round pick, Jager Burton has wasted little time making an impression in Green Bay. The rookie offensive lineman entered the offseason viewed primarily as a developmental depth piece. A four-year starter at Kentucky with experience at multiple positions, Burton offered the kind of versatility Green Bay covets, but few expected him to be […]
Matt LaFleur reveals date for start of Packers 2026 training camp
Thursday is the final day of minicamp for the Green Bay Packers, who have another week of Organized Training Activities left in the offseason program. However, head coach Matt LaFleur has decided to give his veterans a break this spring, sending them home a week early for the summer. Ahead of Thursday’s practice, LaFleur spoke […]
Packers Minicamp Recap: Tucker Kraft expects to play Week 1
Minicamp is underway, and today marked Day 2 of the three-day snapshot of the team for Green Bay Packers fans. No one completely took over practice on Wednesday, like pass-rusher Lukas Van Ness did on Tuesday, but there was some news broken before, during and after practice. Participation 17 players remain out for the Packers, […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: 3rd & Medium
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 7th article in the series, where we’re looking at 3rd & Medium (where “Medium” […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Christian Watson weighs in on new deal
If you spend any time in any online space related to books or writing online, you know there’s a slow-rolling literacy crisis going on in America. Fewer and fewer people are reading for enjoyment, and even fewer seem to be comprehending what they’re reading. Based on the online discussion around Christian Watson’s contract, I’d gently […]
Packers Minicamp Recap: Lukas Van Ness has a day
The Green Bay Packers kicked off their mandatory minicamp without a lot of drama this year. So far, everyone has reported to voluntary offseason workouts, so there was no threat of a player missing mandatory work (and the fines that come with it). The Packers’ minicamp will last three days, beginning with today’s action. The […]
Christian Watson’s contract is more Packers-friendly than it first appeared
The raw numbers were still a good deal. Here at APC, we broke that down last week when Christian Watson signed his new contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, initially reported as a 4-year, $110.5 million extension. That new compensation, combined with his one remaining contract year, made the deal in essence a 5-year, […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Jordan Love prepares for his fourth year as a starter
Jordan Love hits an inflection point this season. As of this year, he’ll have been the Packers’ starter for longer than he was an understudy to Aaron Rodgers, signifying…something. I’m not exactly sure what. The passage of time, maybe? The inevitable march of one day after another after another toward oblivion? Maybe that’s a bit […]
Packers Discussion: Who else would you extend this offseason?
The Green Bay Packers are getting ahead of their extensions, as they’ve already extended receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson, who were both going into the final years of their contracts in 2026, this offseason. Here’s the question I want to ask you all today: Who else would you try to extend long-term before the […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Tight End
We’re back at it to break down the Green Bay Packers’ tight ends going into the summer. If you missed it, we’ve already hit the quarterback and receiver positions. Tight end is an interesting position, as general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the team was hoping to land a true Y tight end in the […]
