The Green Bay Packers have precious few assistant coaches on their staff with lengthy pedigrees in the NFL, and there is a chance they could lose one of those few who do have track records in the league to another job this offseason.
On Wednesday, the Dallas Cowboys submitted a request to the Packers to interview defensive line coach Demarcus Covington for their vacant defensive coordinator position, according to Josina Anderson. The Dallas job came open shortly after the end of the regular season when the Cowboys fired Matt Eberflus (yes, the former Chicago Bears’ head coach) from the job....

Welcome to the first edition of Green Bay Packers offseason fan fiction, if that’s something you fancy. This is my first crack at predicting what will happen in Green Bay through the draft. I’m sure I’ll get plenty wrong here, but we don’t even know (for sure) who the head coach will be for the Packers in 2026, so let’s all just understand this is an educated dart throw.
I think Matt LaFleur comes back. I have no idea if he’s gonna get the kind of extension that he wants, or if he just coaches out the...

It’s been a few days now since the Green Bay Packers lost in devastating fashion to the Chicago Bears in the first round of the playoffs, ending a very up-and-down season with a five-game losing streak. Now that the dust has settled, what better way to reflect than to relive some trauma? So let’s rip that band-aid off and re-open some wounds!
In 2024, our APC fearless leader, Justis Mosqueda, was asked to rank the Packers’ heartbreaking losses based on how much they hurt, beginning with 2007. The last 2 seasons, he’s updated his rankings to include the most recent...

As the Green Bay Packers are negotiating with head coach Matt LaFleur for what seems to be a rather inevitable extension, I find myself increasingly annoyed by the organization. Not because of a LaFleuer extension, no, I am on board with that. It’s everything surrounding it, which mostly comes down to the Packers being cheap. The Packers are not cheap like how the Cincinnati Bengals are cheap. By all accounts, their front office is well-staffed. The Packers are more than happy to spend cash on the roster. They fully leveraged the end of the Aaron Rodgers era, and they’ve put...

For weeks, ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter has been consistent in saying that the Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur want to get an extension done, with the issue not being the Packers’ desire to keep LaFleur but instead the price it would cost to keep LaFleur. On Wednesday, days after this alleged meeting between LaFleur and president/CEO Ed Policy was supposed to take place and set the record straight about the future path of the organization, Schefter gave some updates to ESPN Wisconsin.
When asked where the two sides stand, Schefter said the following:
Yeah, there’s...

Tucker Kraft was a rampaging force in the first half of the Packers’ 2025 season. Through seven games, Kraft had caught 30 passes for 469 yards and six touchdowns, putting him on pace to shatter virtually every tight end-related receiving record in Packers history.
And then, like so many players in Green Bay this season, an injury ended it all. A torn ACL put Kraft on the shelf from Week 9 onward, depriving the Packers of one of their best players and leaving fans wondering what could have been.
That question, what could have been, will haunt players and fans...

For all the talk about how cornerbacks were going to be the liability of this Green Bay Packers team going into the playoffs, it was really the Packers’ linebackers who cost the team the most through the air in their loss to the Chicago Bears. Yes, the cornerbacks gave up a couple of big plays, but some of those plays were also just flat-out incredible throws by Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who was able to beat a couple of Green Bay’s pressures.
Here, I want to show you the mistakes (a lot of them mental) that the linebackers made on...

One of the things I continue to keep hammering, ever since ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Green Bay Packers holdup with head coach Matt LaFleur isn’t his performance but his cost, is that the Packers run a cheap shop when it comes to coach pay. Why am I doing this? Because I hear it almost every year. If I hear the Darren Rizzi low-ball story one more time from an agent representing coaches, I might explode.
But, for some of you, these anecdotes seem to be convincing enough. I asked a source how to better paint the picture of...

NFL draft prospects have until January 14th to declare for the 2026 draft, but some of these players are already making their decisions clear.
From 2019 to 2021, before the extra eligibility for Covid seasons, NIL payments and the transfer portal really started to kick in, the league averaged 126 underclassmen declarations per class. From 2023 t0 2025, though, that number dropped to just an average of 70, 56 fewer underclassmen per class and a 44 percent overall drop in underclassmen declaring.
With direct payments from schools to players now allowed, plus the NFL still having a rookie wage scale,...

It’s only been four days since the Miami Dolphins announced that former Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan was going to be Miami’s next general manager. Already, though, you’re seeing him bringing in people with Packers ties to the Dolphins.
Earlier on Tuesday, it was announced that Miami has signed safety Omar Brown, a former Packer, to a reserve/futures deal. Brown is probably best remembered for his Family Night performance this summer, when he recorded three interceptions. Brown was a ballhawk throughout training camp before being carted off the field against the Indianapolis Colts in Week...

Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers signed 16 players to reserve/future contracts, which are essentially league-minimum deals that practice squad players typically receive. With that being said, sometimes teams do sign players on the street or players who were on other teams’ practice squads to reserve/future deals, too. On Tuesday, the Packers added a 17th reserve/future player in receiver Isaiah Neyor.
Neyor signed with Green Bay in training camp and made the team’s initial practice squad following roster cutdowns. In last week’s wild card game, Neyor was called up to the gameday roster and played three offensive snaps. It seemed odd...

Micah Parsons was conspicuous in his absence from the Packers’ playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. But in the days after, he’s made his presence felt, just as he’s done in virtually every moment he’s been in Green Bay since the Packers made the aggressive move to pry him away from the Dallas Cowboys.
Parsons, in the middle of rehabbing his torn ACL, was vociferous in his support of Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, telling reporters Monday that LaFleur was one of the reasons he wanted to be in Green Bay and reiterating his respect for the culture LaFleur has...
