Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were picked ahead of former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on ESPN’s mock 53-man roster.

ESPN’s Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder sat down for an impossible task: Building out the best 53-man roster (and practice squad) with NFL players who have suited up since the 2000 season. On Wednesday, they released their full team, including a 17-man practice squad.

Going through the list, the first notable piece of information that Green Bay Packers fans will notice is that Aaron Rodgers failed to make the 53-man roster cut, instead joining Drew Brees on the practice...

Welcome to Ed Policy’s world.

Well, not quite, but close enough. The Packers’ president-to-be is all but set to take over the big job from Mark Murphy when the outgoing president calls it a career next month.

It’s been a long time coming for Policy. Anybody who thinks the Packers’ search for their next president was going to turn up anybody other than Policy for the gig hasn’t been paying attention. The son of a former NFL executive, Policy was going to be the man for the job from the moment he arrived in Green Bay. That seems obvious. The...

An updated look at which UFL players have signed with NFL teams, along with NFL probability tiers.

The United Football League season is over, so congratulations are in order for the champion DC Defenders.

At the moment, the Green Bay Packers have an open roster spot, as they’ve only filled out 89 of their 90 roster spots — beyond their international exemption of kicker Alex Hale. Obviously, the most likely path between now and the start of training camp in late July is that the Packers sign (at least) a player from the spring league to fill out their roster...

The Green Bay Packers won’t receive a single compensatory draft pick in 2026

With minicamp in the rearview and training camp the next stop on the road, there’s no better time than now to look at how the league-wide free-agency landscape played out this offseason. According to Nick Korte of Over the Cap, all of the deals that could potentially impact individual teams in the NFL’s 2026 compensatory draft pick formula — which tries to even the playing field for squads that lost a significant number of free agents in one offseason — have now been inked.

This means two...

The long-time Packers lineman is ready to man a new spot, which is technically an old spot.

The Packers spent most of Josh Myers’ career in Green Bay publicly propping up the former second round pick. Offensive line coach and then Adam Stenavich repeatedly defended Myers’ performance on the field, as did Matt LaFleur.

Myers never really lived up to the high praise, though, and his departure from Green Bay was telling. If the Packers were really so high on Myers, why weren’t they interested in matching the paltry one-year $3.5 million contract the Jets offered him?

Instead, they now...

Things aren’t great. We’re checking in on the community

Most of us know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop caring any other time of the year. We have spent the last decade living in “unprecedented times” while being more connected to the pulse of the world than ever before.

That’s incredibly stressful to anyone who struggles to disconnect. Being “eternally online” is now considered normal and borderline expected. So, dear reader, let’s all just take a breath and check in with each other.

The usual summer escape from NFL bad news...

The first part of the answer is to sign Zach Tom to an extension.

As the Green Bay Packers begin to embrace their summer break, the media who cover the team are also hunkering down for a bit of a slow period. Here at Acme Packing Company, that means we will be catching up on a couple of our usual sets of articles, starting with our countdown of the Top Plays of last season next week.

Today, however, we’re thinking about how the Packers will put all of that newly-found salary cap space to work. The team’s release of Jaire...

Six players will be in the mix for five jobs this summer in Green Bay.

Now that we’re on the other side of the Jaire Alexander drama, it’s time to focus on what the Green Bay Packers’ starting secondary could look like this upcoming season. As a refresher, here’s how it went down last year:

Keisean Nixon was officially kicked to outside cornerback full-time after being compensated like a slot defender on a three-year deal. When Alexander was out of the lineup due to injury, the cornerbacks who competed for playing time opposite of Nixon were Eric Stokes, who has...

According to Landis Alexander, the Packers didn’t want to guarantee Jaire Alexander any money in 2025

In a series of tweets, Landis Alexander, the father of former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, shed some light on why his son eventually ended up parting ways with the Packers. Last week, ahead of minicamp, Green Bay chose to release Alexander after contract negotiations failed to produce a deal that satisfied both sides.

According to the elder Alexander, the cornerback was “very willing to restructure” the deal he had with the Packers, but [claims that Green Bay wanted him to play under...

Malik Turner caught a 71-yard touchdown for the Michigan Panthers

Former Green Bay Packers receiver Malik Turner, who was a member of the Packers’ roster during the 2020 offseason, made his presence felt in the United Football League’s championship game on Saturday. Turner, who has played with seven NFL teams before joining the UFL in 2025, was able to bring in a 71-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the final minute of the first half to cut the DC Defenders’ lead to 12 points.

The Packers currently have one roster spot open, meaning that there is the potential for the team to...

Matt LaFleur made it clear that he expects his players to work hard on their own over the next several weeks.

There’s truly no offseason in the NFL. The closest thing that there is to an actual offseason has finally arrived for the Green Bay Packers in the form of a five-week break between minicamp and training camp. But head coach Matt LaFleur made it clear that his players still have individual responsibilities while they are not in the team facility.

Thursday marked the final practice of minicamp and therefore the end of spring practices, meaning that the team was...

The final practice of the spring saw more shuffling on the offensive line and a nice day for one of the team’s budding stars.

In recent years, the Green Bay Packers have skipped one of their regularly-scheduled days of minicamp practice, instead preferring to send the team out for a team-building exercise. This year, however, they were on the practice field all three days of camp, a bit of a balancing act after cutting a week out of the OTA schedule.

The third and final practice of minicamp came and went on Thursday, though it was a shorter session than...
