Prior to Tuesday, there were no tight ends in the NFL who were on multi-year contracts that averaged between $19 million per year and $13.3 million per year. As you can imagine, that was a pretty significant gap in the market for teams, players and representation to operate in.

Then, Kyle Pitts signed a three-year, $54 million contract ($18 million per year), and now Brenton Strange has signed a three-year, $48 million ($16 million per year) deal.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, who was having a career year before he tore his ACL in 2025, was always probably...

The Packers have gone through a lot of offensive line turnover in the still pretty young Jordan Love era. Of the five linemen who blocked for Love in Week 1 of the 2023 season, just one (Zach Tom) is still on the roster, and his availability is somewhat in doubt for the early portions of this year.

That’s not to say there’s not talent on the offensive line today; I’m not here to worry about the Packers’ overall offensive line quality. But I am concerned about their depth at tackle, and maybe you should be, too.

Right now, the Packers...

Let’s finally turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball in our positional preview series. First up is the interior defensive line, where the Green Bay Packers’ new 3-4 defense should help the run game that seemed to wear down as games progressed in 2025. Still, there are some personnel questions going into the 2026 season.

Devonte Wyatt

By all accounts, Devonte Wyatt should return to the Packers from his ankle injury around the start of training camp. So far, he hasn’t practiced with the team this offseason in the practices that have been open to the...

I wrote yesterday about the Packers’ supposedly being one of the losers of the NFL’s offseason, which, while not exactly a widespread talking point, has certainly popped up here and there for the last few months.

Obviously I am not amenable to that position. I don’t think the Packers have had a uniquely bad offseason, or even a bad offseason at all. But in fairness to their critics, I think we can admit that, as is often the case, the Packers are banking on a lot of internal growth to make up for a relative lack of other personnel moves....

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported that the Atlanta Falcons have reached a three-year, $54 million extension with tight end Kyle Pitts, who was previously on a one-year franchise tag that would have paid him $15 million. Over the course of three years, Pitts will now be paid an average of $18 million per year.

This is significant for Green Bay Packers fans who have been trying to judge the Tucker Kraft market. George Kittle, at 32 years old, set the top of the tight end market with a $19.1 million per year deal last year. There was some thought...

Carter Bahns of CBS Sports recently broke down several of the NFL’s top “dynamic duos,” but sadly, no Packers made the cut.

That’s not to say there aren’t dynamic pairs of Packers. Plenty of high-performing Packers players come in pairs, and their partnerships could power positive…outcomes (okay, I ran out of words that start with p) on both sides of the ball this year. Here are four dynamic duos worth watching on this year’s Packers’ team.

1 – Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams

The Packers have one of the best safety rooms around, and this pairing is a big reason...

Let’s have some fun with this one. Which Green Bay Packers player do you think will take the biggest jump in the upcoming season?

To me, there are a couple of candidates. One is Jordan Morgan, who will be moving to the tackle position full-time, where he’s played significantly better than at guard, in his NFL career. I think he makes sense as a player who can improve his reputation in 2026. Elsewhere on the offensive line, it should help Anthony Belton that he’s actually getting reps at guard this summer, unlike last offseason, when it seemed like he almost...

Former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who was banned from the NCAA after a record of gambling on his own team dating back to his days as a backup at Indiana was discovered, applied for the NFL’s supplemental draft a couple of weeks ago after he ended a series of legal challenges against the NCAA. On Tuesday, though, the NFL announced that it wouldn’t have a supplemental draft this year (the league’s last supplemental draft choice was Jalen Thompson in 2019), meaning that Brendan Sorsby will have to wait until the 2027 draft to enter the NFL.

While the NFL...

Is there any more peak offseason content than talking about the offseason during the offseason? I don’t know, but that’s where we’re at. With about a month to go until the Packers open their 2026 training camp, we’re at the point in the offseason when it seems all that most national writers can write about is the offseason itself.

To wit, today’s top link, in which CBS Sports declares the Packers one of the NFL’s five biggest offseason losers, mostly on the grounds that they “lost” a bunch of players. I’m preaching to the choir here, but you know the...

Aren’t you glad you cheer for a team with a decentralized ownership structure with the ability to raise capital as needed? I know I am. Makes me happy.

The Chicago Bears, though. The Bears are owned by the McCaskey family, and their primary business is the Bears. They’re not owned by billionaires who made their money in finance or oil or insurance or AI, and sometimes that’s a good thing. While all rich people care mostly about becoming richer, the McCaskeys, I think, do care about football in a way that goes beyond “this is my rich person’s toy.”

But...

It’s already been announced that the Green Bay Packers will have a joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals going into the final week of the preseason, but upon the announcement, it was interesting to me that the Packers only had one set of joint practices this year – as head coach Matt LaFleur has generally scheduled them against multiple teams each summer. Usually, their thought process has been to use starters in these more controlled joint practices while giving preseason playing time to backups and reserve players who weren’t involved as much in joint practices.

One reason that the Packers...

It’s time to turn our attention to the offensive line, the unit most Green Bay Packers fans have questions about on the offensive side of the ball. Before going into the line, though, read our previews on the quarterback, receiver and tight end positions, if you haven’t already.
