What Challenges Will Jonathan Gannon Face In Green Bay Next Year?
Jonathan Gannon arrives in Green Bay with the difficult task of replacing Jeff Hafley, who left to become the Miami Dolphins’ head coach after meaningfully improving the Packers’ defense. Micah Parsons likely will miss the first month of the season, which will make Gannon’s situation more difficult.
Do the Vikings Have A ‘Stars and Scrubs’ Roster?
When it comes to roster building, I’ll admit that I have a natural preference for how to structure things. Pay the guys what they’re truly worth, whatever it takes, and fill in the gaps later. I was rehashing the Minnesota Vikings’ decision to trade Jonathan Greenard with a friend this week, and it sparked a broader conversation about roster construction.
How Concerning Is Green Bay’s Safety Depth?
When you think about the Green Bay Packers’ roster and the positions that are lacking, the first ones that come to mind are likely cornerback and depth along the offensive and defensive lines. We saw that Green Bay’s front office agreed with that assessment by taking a corner, defensive tackle, edge, and offensive lineman with their first four picks in the draft.
New Vikings GM Nolan Teasley Also Won’t “Go Full Rams”
New Minnesota Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley appears to be bringing a much different approach to the team’s front office. His introductory press conference was unspectacular, giving the impression that Teasley would rather get to his office and begin reconstructing Minnesota’s roster than provide grandiose quotes and soundbites for the media. He wasn’t unpleasant or rude.
Gabriel Gonzalez Is Balancing Out His Abilities At the Plate
St. Paul – Gabriel Gonzalez’s time in Major League Baseball has been brief. Still, he took a lot away from his weekend with the Minnesota Twins when they swept the Boston Red Sox in mid-May. Gabriel Gonzalez only got one start against Red Sox lefty Payton Toole, and went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored.
The Gopher Women’s Basketball Team’s Greatest Skill Is Giving Energy To Minnesota
Dawn Plitzuweit, the head coach of the Gophers Women’s basketball team, has a saying that you’ve probably heard if you’ve spent any time around her since getting the job in 2023. “Be an energy giver,” he says, “not an energy taker.” Simple right? Plitzuweit lives it every day, though.
Edgerrin Cooper Might Be the Ace Up Jonathan Gannon’s Sleeve
We all know Micah Parsons is the X-factor of the Green Bay Packers’ defense. Still, Edgerrin Cooper might be Jonathan Gannon’s most versatile chess piece because of his ability to affect the game both as a pass rusher and a coverage defender. Edgerrin Cooper will be an All-Pro within the next two years pic.twitter.
Marco Raya’s Improved Command Has Turned His Season Around
St. Paul – Marco Raya will be the first to tell you that the start to his season went poorly. Over his first nine outings in 2026, Raya allowed 14 runs on 15 hits and nine walks through 11 ⅓ innings. It all looked like a repeat of last season, when he had an even worse seven-game stretch as a starter.
Jaden McDaniels Can Follow In OG Anunoby’s Footsteps
The Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks have a lot in common, other than the whole winning the NBA Championship thing. Still, there’s something Jaden McDaniels can take away from OG Anunoby‘s game to help take the Wolves to the next level. Both franchises have found recent success after spending the previous two decades embarrassing themselves.
How Much Time Does Luke Musgrave Have Left In Green Bay?
Real, meaningful football is still a ways out, but there were some potentially concerning players unable to fully commit during the Green Bay Packers’ mandatory minicamp. Fourth-year tight end Luke Musgrave spent time with the rehab group, thanks to an undisclosed injury.
Tiny Nick’s Gambling Picks 06/19
Locks MLB (0.5 Unit) Jacob Misiorowski Under 3.5 Hits Allowed (+100; Odds via Fanduel): 6:15 PM CT on MLB.TV There’s certainly a temptation to just keep riding the strikeouts prop with The Miz, but I’d be careful with that. His strikeouts dip considerably on the road compared to at home, and actually average 8.5 per game which is tonight’s K prop.
How the Vikings Can Get Rid of Last Season’s Hangover
If the Minnesota Vikings were a college student, they would be in a world of trouble right now. They would be squinting at dozens of beer cans strewn across the floor and a half-empty bottle of Gatorade on the nightstand. Their eyes would be burning from the sun, and their head would start pounding as soon as they tried to get up from the middle of the apartment floor.
Jager Burton Is Green Bay’s Rookie Most Likely To Start Week 1
The Green Bay Packers have historically been reluctant to hand significant responsibilities to rookies. However, fifth-round pick Jager Burton looks like he will break that trend, as Matt LaFleur has consistently praised him throughout the offseason. Matt LaFleur says Jager Burton will compete for playing time this year.
Is James Pierre Already the Vikings’ Best Cornerback?
The Minnesota Vikings were mostly inactive during this year’s free agency after breaking the bank last season. Aside from bringing back a few veterans, Minnesota remained on the sidelines amid much of the chaos. Kyler Murray was a logical pickup and could ultimately be the best bargain in the league. Jauan Jennings was another steal at a position of need.
What If Savion Williams Doesn’t Take A Year 2 Leap?
The Green Bay Packers never took the training wheels off Savion Williams during his rookie year. As a result, Green Bay never got to really see what the multifaceted wide receiver can bring to the table.
How Did Dillon Bell Become Minnesota’s UDFA Gem?
The Minnesota Vikings have historically found success with overlooked players like Adam Thielen and Jalen Redmond. Minnesota may have struck gold again in the kyear’s undrafted free agent (UDFA) class, signing Georgia wide receiver Dillon Bell. NFL teams are constantly looking for hidden talent.
Daniel Whelan Is A Sleeper Candidate To Be An All-Pro In 2026
The Green Bay Packers’ special teams have been among the most inconsistent units in the league this decade. It has contributed to several painful playoff losses, including defeats to the San Francisco 49ers twice, the Chicago Bears, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Daniel Whelan, however, has remained the lone bright spot. A better view of how Daniel Whelan saved the game for the #Packers.
Is the Vikings’ Offensive Arsenal Sustainable?
When Kyler Murray got a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive weapons for the first time in late May, he came away impressed. “I don’t know how you can’t love that (wide receiver) room,” he said. “You look at the skill positions in general, I know it’s widely regarded as one of the most quarterback-friendly offenses around the league. I’m happy to be here.
Another Twins Fire Sale Could Push Byron Buxton To His Breaking Point
If Byron Buxton had it his way, he’d be with the Minnesota Twins for the rest of his career. As the Twins have torn down their roster over the past calendar year, Buxton has been adamant he isn’t going anywhere, and he holds a no-trade clause. Still, the rumors haven’t stopped, particularly to his hometown Atlanta Braves.
Chris Brooks Feels Uncomfortably Likely Become Green Bay’s RB2
With Emanuel Wilson out of the picture, there’s a void at the backup running spot in Green Bay. In an ideal world, MarShawn Lloyd would stay healthy in 2026 and prove why he was a third-round pick only two years ago. But nothing about Lloyd’s career has been ideal.
Green Bay’s Battle For CB2 May Stretch Well Into the Season
Shortly after last season ended, Brian Gutekunst said that the Green Bay Packers didn’t need “wholesale changes” at cornerback. His actions say something different. The Packers used two of their six draft picks on cornerbacks, including their first selection in the draft, which came in Round 2.
How Do the Vikings Maximize Their 3 Backs?
Minnesota hasn’t been known for running the ball under head coach Kevin O’Connell, leaving fans confused and sometimes angered. Overall, the amount the team is running the ball has increased over KOC’s tenure. Still, he has yet to fully marry the run and pass. Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, and Demond Claiborne each have distinct skillsets that could lead to success in 2026.
Roden, Sabato Were A Triple Away From A Cycle In the Saints’ 21-2 Onslaught
St. Paul – The St. Paul Saints had a 20-walk game to open the season at CHS Field, so it felt like a 20-plus run victory balanced things out. The Saints entered Tuesday night’s game leading Triple-A with 119 homers on the year. They crushed the Omaha Storm Chasers, who had a team ERA of 5.53, 21-2.
Mick Abel Checked Many Boxes In His Second Rehab Outing
St. Paul – Mick Abel’s second rehab outing with the St. Paul Saints may not have been as sharp as his first. But the second-year big leaguer checked off many boxes in Tuesday night’s 21-2 win over the Omaha Storm Chasers. “Coming into today, felt good throughout,” Abel said.
Iowa State’s Joshua Jefferson Could Be the Next Kyle Anderson
Three of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ biggest needs this offseason are size, feel for the game, and ball-handling ability. Iowa State’s Joshua Jefferson addresses those three needs and could be available when the Wolves pick at 28 Background Joshua Jefferson is a 22.6-year-old forward from Las Vegas. At the Draft Combine, he measured 6’7.75” without shoes, 246 lbs, with a 6’10.
