Player communication is why Dallas chose Christian Parker over Jonathan Gannon

Player communication is why Dallas chose Christian Parker over Jonathan Gannon

We’ll have more stuff on the hiring of new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon throughout the week, as there are a lot of angles to examine for what should be the biggest move that the Packers make in the 2026 offseason, but I want to get this one up quickly, because it’s a one-off I believe is interesting. After the Dallas Cowboys hired their own new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, who currently works on the Cowboys’ beat and used to work for DallasCowboys.com, [spoke to why Dallas didn’t end up hiring...

Packers offensive coordinator to interview for lateral job with Tennessee Titans

Packers offensive coordinator to interview for lateral job with Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans will interview Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on Monday for their offensive coordinator job, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The Packers could technically block the interview, since it’s a lateral move, but that isn’t really in Matt LaFleur’s DNA.

LaFleur was allowed by Sean McVay to leave the Los Angeles Rams’ non-play-calling offensive coordinator position to call plays for the Tennessee Titans. He pays that forward. Last year, LaFleur also let Stenavich interview for the Seattle Seahawks’ job, a play-calling opportunity, which eventually went to Klint Kubiak.

If Stenavich did leave, you’d have to...

NFL Playoff Discussion: Who books their tickets to the Super Bowl?

NFL Playoff Discussion: Who books their tickets to the Super Bowl?

It’s time to decide who will go to the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX. Today is the day of the NFL’s Conference Championship Games, as the final four teams still standing in the playoffs compete to be one of the two that will advance to the Super Bowl, to be held two weeks from today at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Interestingly, that stadium — the home of the San Francisco 49ers — will host one of its home team’s divisional rivals in two weeks. The NFC title game, which will be the late game on today’s schedule, is...

Green Bay Packers to hire Jonathan Gannon as next defensive coordinator

Green Bay Packers to hire Jonathan Gannon as next defensive coordinator

Well, it looks like Matt LaFleur won’t be waiting for Jim Leonhard after all. On Sunday morning, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Green Bay Packers will be hiring Jonathan Gannon, the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, as their next defensive coordinator. Many reports stated that Leonhard and Raheem Morris were at the top of Green Bay’s lists to fill the void that Jeff Hafley left when he joined the Miami Dolphins as their next head coach, but that obviously didn’t come to fruition.

As far as we know, the interviewed candidates for the Packers’ job were...

Packers Discussion: What do you think about the NFL’s recent hires?

Packers Discussion: What do you think about the NFL’s recent hires?

It’s probably going to be a slow weekend for Green Bay Packers news, but the NFL coaching cycle has been churning all month. Since we have a little time here, I wanted to ask you all what you think of the recent coaching hires that have been made. Here are some of my thoughts.

New York Giants HC John Harbaugh

It’s hard to talk about the Giants’ job without bringing up the fact that the primary owner of the team, John Mara, has been diagnosed with cancer. If the team is in win-now mode, it’s hard to imagine that...

Packers Draft: Domani Jackson scouting report and video

Packers Draft: Domani Jackson scouting report and video

Earlier this week, we wrote about top-150 cornerbacks who are Green Bay Packers-type defensive backs in the 2026 NFL Draft class and who might actually be available for the team when they’re on the clock with the 53rd overall pick. Among those nine cornerbacks, the first to officially measure in at an all-star game this cycle is Alabama’s Domani Jackson.

So, that’s why we picked Jackson to be our first scouting report of the 2026 class here at Acme Packing Company. Based on current projections, the Packers would need to take him with their third- or fourth-round pick in the...

Jeff Hafley makes offensive coordinator decision

Jeff Hafley makes offensive coordinator decision

The Miami Dolphins are becoming Green Bay South quickly. This offseason, they hired Jon-Eric Sullivan, the Packers’ former vice president of player personnel, and Jeff Hafley, Green Bay’s former defensive coordinator, to be the team’s new general manager and head coach, respectively. Beyond that, the Dolphins have also signed a former Packers player and added a pro scout from Green Bay, too.

So it was within the realm of possibility that maybe Hafley’s new offensive coordinator, who would be a play-caller since Hafley comes from the defensive side of the ball, would come from the Packers, too. A few names...

Packers, Broncos’ Jim Leonhard have ‘mutual interest’

Packers, Broncos’ Jim Leonhard have ‘mutual interest’

At least as far as the reporting goes, the Green Bay Packers are running a relatively slow defensive coordinator search. Currently, the Packers have only interviewed four candidates for the job, despite the Dallas Cowboys hitting the double-digit mark for interviews and other teams, notably the Washington Commanders and New York Jets, also being aggressive with their time. Per the reporting, Green Bay had Al Harris and Christian Parker (hired by the Cowboys) in on Wednesday, only interviewed Daronte Jones on Thursday and only Jonathan Gannon on Friday. So far, there have been no reports that they’ve set up interviews...

Steelers hire former Packer Mike McCarthy to be their new head coach

Steelers hire former Packer Mike McCarthy to be their new head coach

The Pittsburgh Steelers ran an exhaustive search to figure out who would be replacing Mike Tomlin, who coached the team for 19 years and never posted a losing season. Tomlin stepped down from the position the day after the Steelers’ playoff loss to the Houston Texans.

In total, the Steelers ran 10 interviews, with three candidates who advanced into the in-person stage: former Green Bay Packers/Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. On Saturday, the team announced that McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native, would be leading their team moving...

Potential Cap Casualties 2026: The Case For and Against Keisean Nixon

Potential Cap Casualties 2026: The Case For and Against Keisean Nixon

Our subjects in this series so far have been fairly uncontroversial. Rashan Gary, Elgton Jenkins, and Josh Jacobs all carry big cap numbers, and all of them have interesting cases for and against keeping them in 2026.

Keisean Nixon is no less interesting, but the discussion around him is going to be a lot more contentious.

Why? Well, you know why. If Matt LaFleur found himself in Packers’ fans crosshairs after two late-season collapses against the Bears, Keisean Nixon was right there with him. Well, I guess technically he was out on the field, watching various Chicago wide receivers run...

Packers’ Rasheed Walker arrested with gun charges

Packers’ Rasheed Walker arrested with gun charges

According to The New York Post, Green Bay Packers starting left tackle Rasheed Walker has been charged with second-degree possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm in New York. The gun was registered in Wisconsin, per his attorney. The root issue of the case is that Walker attempted to fly with a pistol and 36 rounds of ammunition in a locked case.

The lawyer claims that Walker, a northeasterner who went to school at Penn State and North Point High School in the Washington, D.C. area, did not realize that he wasn’t allowed to fly with a...

Packers Draft: East-West Shrine Bowl measurements and takeaways

The East-West Shrine Bowl took its measurements today, giving us 630 data points on 126 players. Let’s go position-by-position, breaking down what can be taken away from the scale and measuring tape day from a Green Bay Packers perspective.

I’m going to reference a Size Score to rank players, which is really just the combined Z-scores of the five measurements taken: height, weight, hand size, arm length and wingspan. NFL scouts list height in a four-digit number, with the first being feet, the next two being inches and the final digits being eighths of an inch. We’ll be referencing heights...
