The Green Bay Packers will probably be in the market for a cornerback during free agency. We’re tracking all of the rumors here.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stated in his end-of-the-year press conference that the team wants to be aggressive this offseason. With $44.6 million available in cap space, there’s no reason why the team couldn’t make a splash in free agency in 2025. There are simply no excuses.

The biggest question that the Packers will have to answer this offseason is what they’re going to do at the cornerback position. Starter Jaire Alexander is due $17.5...

Cliff Christl writes about the circumstances of a crazy Packers rumor from the late 1980s.

There’s no debate: the Packers bungled the 1989 NFL Draft.

Four players picked in the top five that year went on to Hall of Fame careers. Troy Aikman, taken first by the Cowboys, won three Super Bowls before later haunting Packers fans from various NFL broadcast booths. Barry Sanders, who went third to the Lions, had a storied career that saw him finish second all-time on the NFL career rushing leaderboards (though he was later passed by both Emmit Smith and Frank Gore). Derrick Thomas...

Umanmielen says the Packers are among the four teams that have shown the most interest.

The Green Bay Packers need depth on the edge, and may be interested in an SEC prospect to fix their issues at that position.

In an interview on the SEC Network, Ole Miss edge rusher Princely Umanmielen said the Packers were among the four teams that showed the most interest in him during the pre-draft process.

Umanmielen would be a bit of a tendency breaker for the Packers on the edge. Generally, Brian Gutekunst prefers bigger, more powerful edge rushers, theorizing that they can hold...

Welch returns after one year away from Green Bay.

Most free agent signings in late March will not be big, flashy, exciting names. On Friday, the Green Bay Packers signed a player who will probably earn the league minimum if he makes the team in 2025, and who is unlikely to move the needle much on the excitement meter for Packers fans.

However, Kristian Welch is a name that tune-in Packers fans should know, and the linebacker’s return to Green Bay should be a welcome one.

The Packers announced Welch’s signing on Friday afternoon, bringing back one of the team’s...

There will likely be some changes to replay assist and an expansion of onside kick opportunities.

One of the most curious pieces of the NFL’s new kickoff rules in 2024 was the decision to restrict when teams can elect to attempt an onside kick. Previously, teams could attempt an onside kick at any point but last season they were restricted to only being able to try to retain possession if trailing in the fourth quarter.

With the NFL set to vote on some rules changes soon as part of the league’s annual meetings, that particular restriction is likely to ease...

Florida’s Desmond Watson put up 36 reps on the bench at 464 pounds

If you can believe it, there’s a 464-pound defensive tackle in the 2025 draft class. Florida’s defensive tackle Desmond Watson, who wasn’t invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this year, has been a four-year contributor for the Gators and hasn’t missed a game in his college career. On Thursday, he weighed in at 6’6” and 464 pounds during Florida’s pro day.

As you can imagine, he’s more of a space eater than a penetrator. The nose tackle posted just 1.5 sacks and 4 tackles for...

Five positions are on the table for the Packers’ first-round selection

It’s time for our weekly mock draft check-in. The Green Bay Packers still have plenty of needs they could address heading into next month’s college draft, including receiver, defensive tackle, defensive end and cornerback.

How will the Packers handle the first-round market? We took a look at recent mock drafts to attempt to answer that very question. Unlike last week, where several selections were made several times over, this week’s round-up is spread out over more prospects and positions.

OK Boomer.

With the draft approaching quickly, it’s the time of year when we get the famous/infamous Bob McGinn anonymous scout slander-fest, in which old men give their unvarnished opinions on the young men about to embark on their NFL careers after reaching the absolute pinnacle of the college game. Unvarnished opinions like, “The mom is a problem” about Missouri receiver Luther Burden. How is Luther Burden’s mom a problem exactly? We’ll never know for sure, but this is hardly the only character assassination in McGinn’s piece. Of top receiver prospect Tet McMillan, one scout wrote:

*“He’s a really immature...

Rodgers has yet to make a decision about his future

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has not made a decision about his future, in part because the Minnesota Vikings won’t completely close the door on adding him to their roster eventually. If you’ve been following the story this offseason, Rodgers was vetted by the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers as a potential starting quarterback following his release from the New York Jets. Unfortunately for those two teams, Rodgers apparently wanted to be the Vikings' signal caller.

While Minnesota is riding it out with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy,...

Medical exams will likely be the focus of this visit.

When bringing in a highly-rated player for a pre-draft visit, the Green Bay Packers tend to focus on players with residual questions, either from an athletic testing, character, or medical standpoint. On Thursday morning, a report has emerged about a player who fits squarely into the last of those categories.

The player is Shavon Revel, a cornerback out of East Carolina. Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reported the visit, which will almost certainly focus on Revel’s recovery from a torn ACL.

After two years in community college, Revel joined the...

Can Rashan Gary be the closer that the Packers need?

The Green Bay Packers must get more consistent pressure on the quarterback from their defensive line in 2025. That should not be a controversial statement, especially after seeing the group become entirely too passive for long stretches last season.

As ESPN analyst Mina Kimes recently put it, the Packers need a closer on the defensive side of the ball — someone they can count on to get pressure on the quarterback when they absolutely must have it. Is Rashan Gary that guy? He has shown flashes at times, but he...

Keep up with the names of all the players meeting with the Packers ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

During Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager of the Green Bay Packers, the team rarely brought high-level college prospects in for formal visits ahead of the NFL Draft. Thompson’s approach was almost exclusively to bring in a few players projected near the top of the draft to evaluate character or injury questions, and then use the vast majority of their visits on late-round or likely undrafted prospects.

Brian Gutekunst’s approach has differed somewhat, though the team still tends to use visits...
