The Green Bay Packers have found something on defense under defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Last season, Green Bay finished in the top six regarding points and yards allowed for the first time since winning the Super Bowl circa 2010. Meanwhile, edge rusher Rashan Gary and safety Xavier McKinney saw their careers take a massive step forward, each becoming pro bowlers and the ladder, earning first-team All-Pro honors. Nevertheless, expect the Packers to continue their development towards an elite defense. Earlier this week, the Cincinnati Bengals approved a trade request from star defensive end Trey Hendrickson. With Green Bay fresh off…

When thinking of an outspoken former Green Bay Packers quarterback, the mind initially wanders to that of three-time MVP passer Aaron Rodgers. A Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Rogers became one of the best players in NFL history while donning the green and yellow. However, during his twilight years with the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets, Rogers made headlines following his questionable antics and quotes displayed during national interviews. On Friday, a former Green Bay Packers quarterback went viral for calling out his old defensive coaches, but it was not Aaron Rodgers. It’s safe to say that Green Bay’s backup…
The Green Bay Packers have an elite route runner waiting to be unleashed. Green Bay drafted seven wide receivers from 2021 to 2023. Although early, the results have been a mixed bag. Second-round draft selections Jayden Reed and Christian Watson have shown flashes of brilliance, while 2023 third-round pick Armani Rogers did not play in the NFL last year. As for 2023 third-round pick Dontayvion Wicks, he has spent the past two years playing in a reserve role and occasionally making spot starts. Wicks has been at the center of trade talks this offseason as a complimentary piece that could net…
From 2021 to 2023, the Green Bay Packers selected seven wide receivers, including three in the third round or earlier. However, despite many flashes of brilliance, highlighted by pass catchers Christian Watson and Jayden Reed, Green Bay has not had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2021, the final year with superstar wideout Davante Adams. The New York Jets released Adams earlier this week after just one half-season with the club. Adams will become a hot commodity on the free agent market and have his fair share of suitors when the new league begins next Wednesday. On Wednesday, one Fox Sports 1…
In two of the past three seasons, the Green Bay Packers have selected a wide receiver in the second round of the NFL Draft. In 2022, Green Bay landed on North Dakota State Bison standout Christian Watson with the 34th overall selection. A speedy wideout, Watson became an immediate contributor for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, snagging 41 receptions for 611 yards and seven touchdowns. Unfortunately, Watson’s progression took a hit in 2023, with injuries limiting him to just nine games. Last year, Watson started 15 games, posting a career-high 620 yards. However, in the second quarter of the season finale against…
Late last month, the Green Bay Packers became linked to superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks. On Wednesday, Metcalf requested a trade from the NFC West club, likely ending his six-year stint with Seattle. Unsurprisingly, Green Bay has become a popular landing spot for Metcalf amid his trade request. On Thursday, with betting odds becoming official for Metcalf’s next team, the Packers became the favorite to trade for the 27-year-old. According to one well-known sportsbook, Green Bay is just one of two NFC franchises among the top eight teams projected to trade for Metcalf. Bovada Expecting DK…
Last season, the Green Bay Packers housed one of the best running backs in the NFL. Following a brutal year in Las Vegas circa 2023, where he rushed for a lowly 3.5 yards per rush, Green Bay signed running back Josh Jacobs to a four-year, $48 million contract. Jacobs responded with a standout campaign, rushing for 1,329 yards and a career-best 15 touchdowns. The year prior, former star running back Aaron Jones struggled with injuries, failing to eclipse 700 rushing yards in 11 games. On Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints released running back Jamaal Williams, the former backup and change-of-pace…
The expectation this offseason is the Green Bay Packers will move off of two-time All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander. In his last two seasons, Alexander has appeared in just 14 games; since 2020, his first Pro Bowl season, Alexander has failed to play at least half of his team’s regular season games thrice. With Green Bay publicly acknowledging their desire to move Alexander late last month, many mock drafts have the Packers pegged to select a potential replacement with the 23rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. On Tuesday, one rising football social media account posted its most recent mock draft.…
Barring a trade, the Green Bay Packers will have the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With postseason appearances in five of the past six seasons, Green Bay will likely look to add an immediate contributor to push for their first Super Bowl title since 2010. Most reputable football outlets continue churning out new mock draft versions as the NFL Draft rapidly approaches. On Wednesday, online daily fantasy sports powerhouse Underdog shared their first mock draft of the 2025 season. With the 23rd overall pick, the Packers selected a defensive end, a common theme for Green Bay among most mocks.…
Ask around, and the Green Bay Packers will select a defender with the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Last season, Green Bay finished in the top ten in the NFL in points scored, points allowed, yards accumulated, and yards surrendered. However, the same year, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, sporting the second-best defense regarding points allowed, meaning the adage “defense wins championships” remains more valid than ever. Although the consensus for the Packers in the upcoming draft is defense, the debate remains about what position to take. On Tuesday, the social media account for the…
From 2007 to 2022, the Green Bay Packers had one kicker: Mason Crosby. During his historic 16-year run, Crosby quickly became the franchise leader in points, field goals, and extra points. Although never a Pro Bowler, Crosby led the league in extra points three times while going a perfect 16-for-16 in field goals during the 2020 season. However, following the 2022 season, Crosby left Green Bay, landing with the Los Angeles Rams and ending his storied career with the NFC North club. Green Bay used a sixth-round pick on kicker Anders Carlson in 2023, but the rookie led the league…
In CBS Sports’ latest mock draft, the Green Bay Packers select edge rusher Mykel Williams from the Georgia Bulldogs. A trend this offseason leading into the 2025 NFL Draft has been Green Bay looking at adding an edge rusher with the 23rd overall pick. Last season, the Packers housed one of the better pass rushes in the NFL, with defensive end Rashan Gary earning his first Pro Bowl appearance. However, with the NFL continuing to become a pass-happy league, no Super Bowl contender can have too many edge rushers. On Tuesday, one Green Bay Packers insider asked the masses if…
From 2018 to 2021, the Green Bay Packers had one of the best passing connections with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams. During that span, Adams earned four Pro Bowl nods and recorded 432 receptions for 5,310 yards and 47 touchdowns. However, leading into the summer of 2022 and following the placement of the franchise tag, Green Bay shipped Adams off to the Las Vegas Raiders, where he spent the better part of two seasons before becoming a member of the New York Jets. On Tuesday, the Jets released Adams, sending him into free agency while shedding $29.9M…
Last season, the Green Bay Packers finished in the top 12 in the NFL regarding passing yards and touchdowns despite finishing 30th in pass attempts. Since the departure of Davante Adams in 2021, Green Bay has not had a 1,000-yard receiver, but second-year starting quarterback Jordan Love has done well to lead the Packers to back-to-back postseason appearances. This offseason, the Packers continue to be linked to wide receivers via the draft and free agency. On Monday, one media outlet suggested that the NFC North club acquire an All-Pro wide receiver in a blockbuster trade. In the move, the Packers…
After a seven-year run with the Green Bay Packers, cornerback Jaire Alexander’s time with the club is likely ending. Last month, reports surfaced that Green Bay is looking to part ways with the often-injured Alexander before the 2025 NFL Draft. Playing in just 14 games in the previous two seasons and with just two years remaining in his current four-year, $84 million deal, the Packers are open to dealing the two-time All-Pro for the right price. Meanwhile, another multi-time Pro-Bowler in New York is on the cutting block just one month after the Super Bowl. On Sunday, NFL insider Ian…
The Green Bay Packers need a pass rusher, or at least that’s the consensus among those at The Score.

The Green Bay Packers found a diamond in the rough during the late rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft. With the 220th overall selection, Green Bay selected Boston College linebacker Isaiah McDuffie ahead of the 2021 season. Following a reserve role as a rookie, McDuffie became a rotational linebacker in 2022 and a key piece to the defense in 2023. However, in 2024, the former sixth-round pick became a standout starter, collecting 97 tackles and three TFLs. On Monday, the Packers rewarded the linebacker for finishing second on the team in tackles, inking him to a two-year, $8 million deal…
Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre did not earn the nickname “Gunslinger” for no reason. The NFL leader in passing attempts three times, Favre also led the league in yards twice, touchdowns four times, and interceptions thrice. Favre played 20 seasons in the NFL, throwing 10,169 passes and becoming just one of a handful of signal callers to play into their 40s. Nevertheless, on Saturday, amid the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, Favre shared a video via social media of him throwing routes nine years after his retirement. Former Green Bay Packers MVP Brett Favre Still Has A Cannon According…
The Green Bay Packers have made the postseason in five of the past six years. During that span, Green Bay has only selected two Pro Bowlers, each coming from the 2019 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, the last time the Packers made a draft day deal surrounding a first-round pick? 2020, when landing the services of former Utah State Aggies standout Jordan Love.

On Thursday, Green Bay Packers insider Eli Berkovits applauded longtime Tennessee Volunteers defensive end James Pearce Jr. for…
