The Packers' decision to trade Colby Wooden for Zaire Franklin sets the table for the rest of the team's offseason. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay's offseason plan comes into focus. www.theleap.football/p/packers-of...

The cap hit for the Packers will be about $6.2M, which is less than what a LB of Zaire Franklin's caliber would get on the open market. And to the degree that PFF grades are useful, 2025 was a clear outlier for him (new DC/new scheme). Green Bay obviously thinks he'll fit better with Gannon.

The Packers already needed more help along the defensive line, and Colby Wooden played nearly 600 snaps for them last season. If defensive tackle wasn't at the top of Green Bay's offseason to-do list before, it's there now.

The Packers have their Quay Walker replacement. The team has agreed to trade defensive tackle Colby Wooden for linebacker Zaire Franklin. Franklin, who earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2024, has two seasons left on his contract.

With the Cowboys giving a second-round tender to Brandon Aubrey, the notion of the Packers pursuing him is effectively DOA.

Still awaiting details on why @peterbukowski.bsky.social hacked Rashan Gary's IG.

Rashan Gary deleted the IG post in which he said goodbye to Green Bay.

The IG post doesn't swing things either way, since teams expect him to get cut without a trade either way. If there's leverage for the Packers, it's with a team that wants Rashan Gary but doesn't think it would land him as a street free agent. I don't know if that team exists, but we'll find out.

"All options are on the table" for the Packers regarding Rashan Gary, per @tompelissero.bsky.social. That includes a potential trade.

Packers pass rusher Rashan Gary will apparently not return to Green Bay for the 2026 season.

The Lions' preferred starting O-line in 2024, the season in which they entered the playoffs as the NFC's No. 1 seed: LT Taylor Decker LG Graham Glasgow C Frank Ragnow RG Kevin Zeitler RT Penei Sewell Less than two years later, only Sewell remains in Detroit.

The Chargers have officially signed center Tyler Biadasz. It's unknown if the Packers had interest in Biadasz. He would not have affected their 2027 comp picks.

Former Packers team president Bob Harlan has passed away at age 89. He hired Ron Wolf, who went on to hire Mike Holmgren and trade for Brett Favre. The Packers aren't where they are today — figuratively and literally — without Harlan.

Right after the Bears drafted Luther Burden, @peterbukowski.bsky.social sent this text about D.J. Moore. He was right.

With Emanuel Wilson set to hit free agency, the Packers will likely need a new No. 2 running back. That player might already reside on their roster. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay might already have Josh Jacobs' backup (and it might not be MarShawn Lloyd). www.theleap.football/p/josh-jacob...

Chris Brooks agreed to a two-year, $4.85 million deal to stay with the Packers, but his role in Green Bay has largely been as a blocking back and special teamer. The matter of Josh Jacobs' backup in 2026 remains unresolved. I wrote about it today for @theleap.bsky.social.

Trent McDuffie is a valuable player, but this trade also speaks to how the league views the incoming cornerback class.

Bobby Okereke has warts as a player. Still, if the Packers want an experienced "Mike" linebacker to take Quay Walker's spot without sacrificing a comp pick, he's a reasonable option.

As expected, the Packers have officially opted not to use their franchise or transition tags on any players.

The Falcons won't tender Malik Heath, per Jeremy Fowler. He spent most of the past three seasons with the Packers.

Rich Bisaccia just signed an extension before the 2025 season. He ranked among the highest-paid special-teams coordinators. His reasons for stepping down remain unclear, but he was well compensated in Green Bay. He also didn't have to recruit.

Rich Bisaccia leaving the Packers for the same role at Clemson is odd. He broke into the NFL in 2002 and stayed there for 24 years. Not common for a coach like that to return to college, especially in this environment. He has experience at Clemson and South Carolina, but still.

Marshon Lattimore has missed seven or more games in each of the last four seasons. He turns 30 in May. While he wouldn't affect the Packers' comp-pick return, that seems like an unlikely pairing.

Juice Scruggs has mostly served as a backup despite entering the league as a second-round pick. Given that David Montgomery was probably on his way out of Detroit anyway, this is a buy-low attempt by the Lions.

The Packers have officially named Cam Achord as their new special-teams coordinator.

The Packers' free agents could potentially generate premium comp picks for the team, and combine week has only amplified expectations. For @theleap.bsky.social: Let's talk about the comp picks Green Bay could get, and why they might not fall where fans expect. www.theleap.football/p/lets-talk-...

The Colts have given Anthony Richardson permission to seek a trade, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. I wrote about Richardson earlier this week and why I don't see him as a Packers reclamation project. www.theleap.football/p/packers-nf...

I don't know if Rueben Bain's arms (officially 30.875 inches) will keep him from having a productive NFL career. There isn't really precedent for edge rushers with such short arms going early in the draft, good or bad. For context, Micah Parsons' arms are 32.5 inches.

It's not about Trent Williams' next deal but rather him filling a key opening that would meaningfully reduce the demand for Rasheed Walker. There could be (and likely will be) enough money for both. But if Walker's market is really driven by one or two teams, then Williams could change that market.

If the 49ers do cut Trent Williams as Adam Schefter's report suggests, that could have an impact on Rasheed Walker's suitors in free agency. That, in turn, could plausibly affect the comp pick the Packers could get for him next offseason. Still early, but worth monitoring.

Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan on Packers QB Malik Willis: "Any team in a quarterback-needy situation that tells you they're not talking about Malik Willis, that would be a lie."

The combine begins later this week, and the Packers have much more on their to-do list than just scouting the corners and defensive linemen. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about one of Green Bay's offseason priorities that hasn't garnered enough attention. www.theleap.football/p/packers-nf...

I survived this one as well.

The Packers have hired Will Redmond as a college scout. As my mentions from earlier pointed out, this is NOT the same Will Redmond who played in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021.

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah thinks there are "good options" along the interior offensive line in the second and middle rounds where the Packers have draft picks. Jeremiah also thinks the cornerback depth is deep enough to potentially wait until the third round or later.

The Packers can reasonably expect their guard play to improve in 2026 (Aaron Banks spent much of 2025 hurt, Anthony Belton was a rookie learning a new position). However, even with a significant jump for one or both, they could still land in the NFL's bottom half. (graphic via Daniel Rotman)

Our story on the big Rich Bisaccia news for anyone who missed it last night:

After four seasons in Green Bay, Rich Bisaccia has stepped down. His exit raises several questions, and not merely about who will replace him as special-teams coordinator. For @theleap.bsky.social: The Bisaccia era is over. What's next for the Packers? www.theleap.football/p/the-rich-b...

Packers special-teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is stepping done, per Mike Garafolo. Barring additional changes, the only coordinator from Green Bay's 2025 staff to return for 2026 will be OC Adam Stenavich.

The Spotify app is a time machine in so far as it loads at the speed of 1990s dial-up internet no matter what.

The Commanders have hired two former Packers for their coaching staff: Danny Etling (asst. QBs coach) David Raih (TEs coach)

The Miami Dolphins have released you too, per source.

With the Seahawks reportedly hiring Brian Fleury as their new OC, that's another job closed to Packers OC Adam Stenavich. Stenavich isn't known to have interviewed there, but his shared background with departing OC Klint Kubiak (both worked for Kyle Shanahan) made him a potential fit.

The Raiders will reportedly promote Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator. They also interviewed Packers D-line coach DeMarcus Covington for the job. He has interviewed for multiple DC openings this cycle.

The real holiday is Cheap Candy Day and it happens on Feb. 15.

Most of the public anger over this has been directed at the owners, but this outcome wouldn't have been possible without the union's past management. It continues to haunt the players.

The Packers replaced departing QBs coach Sean Mannion with an in-house promotion. That decision comes with pros and cons. For @theleap.bsky.social: What Luke Getsy's ascension to QBs coach means (and what it doesn't) www.theleap.football/p/what-luke-...
