The Green Bay Packers officially announced on Monday that the team had extended linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a one-year contract that will keep McDuffie on the roster through the 2027 season. Last year, McDuffie served as the team’s “starting” Sam linebacker and as the Packers’ special teams captain. McDuffie should continue to contribute as a special teamer in 2026, but he will more than likely be a full-time backup linebacker as the team transitions to a 3-4 defense.

Here’s the cap breakdown for McDuffie moving forward:

• 2026: $4.73 million
• 2027: $5.1 million

The Packers can also move off...

NFL media love to drum up discussion and controversy in the summer. With nothing to actually do between the end of minicamp and the start of training camp — which is fast approaching in just over two weeks — the league has to create attention for itself somehow.

Enter the annual NFL Top 100 list, which never ceases to be a source of debate. One might ask “what is the point of this exercise?” And they would be reasonable to do so. But again, it’s entirely a way to generate clicks, posts, and content, and here we are again with...

Now that our top plays are in the books, I’d like to offer one final coda to our look back at last season.

2025 was really dumb.

I wrote in the conclusion to our top play of 2025 that everything after Keisean Nixon’s interception capped off the Packers’ win over the Bears in Week 14 seems pretty forgettable. That’s not to undermine the work of my colleague Tyler Brooke, who rightly celebrated Matthew Golden’s touchdown against the Bears in the playoffs. That should have been a game-sealing touchdown, and yet, well, we all know what happened.

Nixon’s interception really does...

I spend so much of the offseason looking backwards at the previous season, but this time of year, my thoughts start drifting to the next season. What lessons did we learn from last season that could give us clues for this season, both from the Green Bay Packers and a leaguewide perspective?

I’ve had all these thoughts jumbled in my head about the future of the Packers offense, so I thought I’d write about them. Shout into the void, etc. I don’t know how much of these “clues” are real or which ones I’ve simply been drawn to in my...

The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line has become a popular offseason target for skeptics.

One recent article highlighted the unit as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks, noting that several national analysts rank the Packers’ offensive line near the bottom third of the NFL after the departures of Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins. Makes sense on paper.

But they also ignore why the Packers have been comfortable making so few outside additions.

This isn’t a team hoping inexperienced players magically figure it out. It’s a team betting on a development pipeline that has, more often than not over recent...

Keisean Nixon provokes a lot of mixed feelings in people. Okay, not super mixed. A lot of people, if not most, are pretty down on Nixon as the Packers’ top cornerback.

But it’s not all bad, and last season Nixon gave us one of the most memorable images of the century-long Packers/Bears rivalry. Here’s our top play of 2025, the moment when Nixon put a stop to the Bears’ comeback efforts.

The game

The Packers were rolling as they prepared for their first 2025 meeting with the Bears in Week 14. They were 8-3-1 and riding a three-game winning...

There will be a game at Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 6th, but it won’t involve the Green Bay Packers. While the Packers will have that week “off” between the preseason and regular season, Wisconsin and Notre Dame will travel to Green Bay for a Labor Day weekend matchup to kick off their respective seasons in the newest edition of Notre Dame’s “Shamrock Series.”

Over the past two days, both teams have dropped alternative jerseys for this Shamrock Series game, including hype videos that accompany their new looks.

The Badgers’ video is voiced over by Vince Biegel, who played for...

In a recent write up for SI, Bill Huber asked whether Jordan Love can capitalize on his supporting cast. It’s an interesting question because so much of the national conversation assumes Green Bay’s offense has gotten worse. Has it?

Let’s walk through just a few examples.

The Packers lost productivity in the receiver room. This is objectively true, but is sometimes employed in an intellectually dishonest way. Sure, Doubs is gone. Wicks is gone. They were productive. There were also way too many cooks in the receiver kitchen last year. Players knew it. The head coach has since admitted it....

As a longtime Matthew Golden believer, I made it a priority to specifically request that I write about the first-round pick’s first career touchdown. This play from the Green Bay Packers’ Wild Card game comes in at number two on APC’s countdown of the best plays from last season.

The Game

The NFC Wild Card game against the Chicago Bears is not one that Green Bay Packers want to remember, even with such an awesome moment from Golden happening during the contest.

After barely hanging on against a spirited comeback by the Bears a few weeks earlier in the...

The Green Bay Packers’ linebacker room is a little light right now, as the team only has seven bodies on its 91-man roster for a position that is expected to have five players make the 53-man roster. Next up in our roster preview, we’re going to take a look at every single off-ball linebacker on the team, describing where the players currently stand on the depth chart and what they are expected to contribute to the Packers in 2026.

If you want to read any of our previous installments, here are our breakdowns of Green Bay’s other position rooms:

Hey everyone, Micah Parsons is good.

Periodically, it seems people need a reminder and ESPN was happy to oblige, ranking Parsons as the second-best edge rusher in the NFL in our first link below.

Normally I wouldn’t go through so much trouble to point out just one article, but I think this one is worthy of a bit more attention if only because of how people have talked about the Packers this offseason. Article after article after article has bemoaned the Packers’ lack of moves this offseason, as though the lack of a first round pick and the relatively limited...

We travel all the way back to Week 1 as we continue through our list of the Green Bay Packers’ top plays from the 2025 season. What you’re about to see is what I like to call “the moment I felt like everything would be okay”.

The Game

After surprising everyone by making the 2024 playoffs despite missing QB Jordan Love for several games, the Packers lost a heartbreaking Wild Card matchup to the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. Heading into Week 1 of the 2025 season, it looked like the Packers were prepared to run it...
