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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

With former defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley off coaching the Miami Dolphins, the biggest move that the Green Bay Packers will make this offseason will probably be who they replace Hafley with. In talking to those in the know in the coaching and coaching representation space, two names have come up consistently (throughout the year), mostly because of convenience: defensive line coach/run game coordinator Demarcus Covington and pass game coordinator Derrick Ansley, two internal candidates who came to Green Bay after previous stints as defensive coordinators in the NFL.

Along with Hafley, both Covington and Ansley each have [six years of...

Every Green Bay Packers fan wants two new starters at cornerback in 2026. I want Sauce Gardner and Patrick Surtain playing outside for my team, too. But it won’t happen this year because of the team’s cap situation and the fact that they’re out of a first-round pick (and will be in 2027, too). The Packers also don’t really play rookies, as even first-round picks have only started an average of six games since the draft-and-develop mantra was reestablished in Green Bay more than two decades ago.

What I think is more likely to happen this draft cycle is that...

In Major League Baseball, the one thing that every small market smart team has in common is a disproportionately large investment in analytics and player development. This class of teams generally includes the Tampa Bay Rays (who employ about four times as many of what the industry refers to as “nerds” as any other team), the Cleveland Guardians, and of course, the Milwaukee Brewers and their now-famous pitching lab.

While these teams are often hesitant to spend big money free agents, medium-level free agents, or in the case of the Rays, cheap young talent that isn’t quite cheap enough, they...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Ben Solak ranked the best coordinator openings in the league this offseason, with five official openings on the offensive side and eight official openings on the defensive side. Obviously, more teams will get involved in the coordinator market later this offseason, as more head coaching decisions will be made that will result in additional job openings.

At the tippy top of the defensive coordinator rankings was the Green Bay Packers’ opening. Below are their DC rankings:

1. Green Bay Packers
2. San Francisco 49ers
3. Los Angeles Chargers
4. New York Giants

The other openings in...

After taking a look at Rashan Gary and Elgton Jenkins, our cap casualties series now turns to the offensive backfield. What does the future hold for running back Josh Jacobs?

A 2019 first-round pick by the Raiders (with one of the picks they got from Chicago in the Khalil Mack trade in 2018), Jacobs joined the Packers in 2024 as a free agent. Since then, he’s been productive in a high-volume role, carrying the ball 535 times for 2,258 yards and 28 rushing touchdowns over his first two years in Green Bay.

Jacobs battled injuries in the second half of...

During the season, I like to look around the league and see what other teams are doing in the passing game. It’s a good way to get familiar with other offenses around the league, but it also works as a bit of a thought experiment when it comes to the Green Bay Packers’ offense. When I see something cool, I immediately start thinking about how the Packers could steal that play and work it into their offense.

The playoffs are a lot of fun for this kind of thing. There are fewer plays (which means I can watch a higher...
