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...

The regular season is months away and training camp still feels far off, but there’s plenty to be excited about

It’s minicamp week, and everything seems to be falling into place. Super Bowl aspirations make total sense because everything you see from limited on-field highlights look great and it doesn’t matter that guys are just running around in shorts, jerseys, and helmets. That’s not a reason to doubt; that’s a reason to double down and believe in your craziest dreams even harder.

And why not? Nobody can deny that deep shot to Mecole Hardman was indeed very cool, no matter...

Bo Melton and Mecole Hardman are both in the news after the first two days of minicamp.

Through two days of minicamp, there’s a clear top story for the Green Bay Packers: Bo Melton’s tryout at cornerback. The Packers’ wide receiver has been spending a lot of time working with the corners over the past two days of practice, seemingly in an effort to find creative ways in which he may be able to help the team.

Melton is in a difficult position this summer, as are a host of players on this roster. The Packers simply have too many...

Which three hidden gems on the 2025 roster could help the Packers make a serious Super Bowl run?

In the 2024 regular season, the Green Bay Packers lost six games... by a total of 24 points. There was no game in which this team was out of the spectrum of victory; it was just that sometimes, things rolled the other way.

Then came the Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the 22-10 loss, and Jordan Love’s three interceptions. It was a brutal way for the season to end, especially since the game was never really competitive as every other...

The Packers added former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle to practice on Wednesday

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated on Wednesday that the Packers will actually be practicing on the third day of minicamp tomorrow, a rare sight during LaFleur’s time on the team. Typically, LaFleur’s teams have used the final day of minicamp as a “team-building” day, but they’ll actually be getting work on the field on Thursday, so we’ll get a look at the team tomorrow.

As far as what happened during Wednesday’s practice, let’s catch you up on who was able to suit up and the...

Detroit is a solid bet to underperform expectations this year. Let’s learn about “Weak Link” systems.

The Green Bay Packers play in a very difficult division. At least, the NFC North was a very difficult division last year, and it will probably be pretty good in 2025, but there are some question marks that have started to pop up. The Vikings are making a major change at quarterback and, of course, the Bears are counting on Ben Johnson to resurrect quarterback Caleb Williams, because that is what the Bears do.

You don’t hear too much about the Lions, however, and...
