My good pal @byjbh.bsky.social is getting married this weekend so I took the chance to write about him today for @theleap.bsky.social because without him, my career looks very different. He’s going to hate it. open.substack.com/pub/theleap/...

The 2027 NFL Draft will begin on Thursday, April 27 in Washington D.C.

While much remains uncertain about the 2026 Packers, we have already learned some important details about them at this stage of the offseason. For @theleap.bsky.social: Two truths and a lie about Green Bay's offseason www.theleap.football/p/two-truths...

You guys will never believe this, but Jeffrey Kessler, Brendan Sorsby's legal counsel, is already threatening legal action against the NFL over this decision.

And this is why all our Brendan Sorsby discussions on @theleap.bsky.social and @lockedonpackers.bsky.social included the caveat that the NFL could deny him entry into the supplemental draft.

For those who would like the Packers to bolster their pass rush with Joey Bosa, Adam Schefter believes that's unlikely: "It is more likely than not that Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down."

On his podcast, Adam Schefter highlighted several "teams to watch" for Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft, including the Vikings. Schefter added: "I think it's the teams that people aren't talking about that will be more likely to roll the dice on Brendan Sorsby."

I was today years old when I learned that Geno Smith named his son Seven.

Opinions on Brendan Sorsby's draft outlook are all over the place. Some think a team will bid an early round pick. Others believe a Day 3 pick will get it done. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about why he matters to the Packers, whether they submit a bid or not.

The Packers will have 13 practices open to the public during training camp, including Family Night and a joint practice with the Cardinals.

Brendan Sorsby has applied for the supplemental draft. If the NFL grants him entry, every team will consider a bid, including Green Bay. For @theleap.bsky.social: The Packers don't need Brendan Sorsby, but they still have reasons to pursue him. www.theleap.football/p/the-packer...

Today for @theleap.bsky.social , I wrote about why the #Packers are punching back at a Wisconsin lawmaker and why the team believes its future is at stake. open.substack.com/pub/theleap/...

Tonight's Brendan Sorsby development could affect the Packers. I wrote about it for @theleap.bsky.social last month. https://www.theleap.football/p/the-packers-2026-schedule-is-weirder?open=false#%C2%A7some-rumored-brendan-sorsby-landing-spots-fall-on-the-back-end-of-the-packers-schedule

The Packers have signed tight end Luke Lachey. They released wideout Jakobie Keeney-James in a corresponding move. The team originally claimed Lachey off waivers in May, but he failed his physical. Now, he's apparently healthy enough to join the roster.

The Packers' full 90-man roster won't return to 1265 Lombardi Ave. until training camp. With camp more than a month away, @theleap.bsky.social looks at where the depth chart currently stands. www.theleap.football/p/where-the-...

It was!

Nike's latest batch of abominations will apparently blight this year's Packers-Bears game.

The Packers' first practice of training camp will take place on July 29.

This might be the greatest playoff comeback by a team named after pants.

The Packers anticipate that Micah Parsons will miss the start of the 2026 season, but what should they expect from him after he returns from his ACL tear? For @theleap.bsky.social: What recent history suggests about Parsons' post-injury trajectory www.theleap.football/p/micah-pars...

Packers TE Tucker Kraft on when he expects to return from his ACL tear: "They don't really want us talking about our injuries and stuff. But with how I feel, I would say I'll get all the conditioning I need in camp to start Week 1 on no pitch count."

Corey Linsley wasn't the Packers' clear starter from Day 1, but he went into his rookie season with a very professional approach. I'll never forget this answer from an interview he gave me before his first training camp. www.acmepackingcompany.com/2014/5/15/57...

Packers HC Matt LaFleur saying on the record that rookie guard/center Jager Burton will compete for playing time this year comes with caveats — the pads haven't even come out yet — but it's still a noteworthy endorsement. The coaching staff sees something in him already.

In 2025, LaFleur called an overly conservative game against the Panthers and Eagles (Weeks 9 and 10, respectively). Outside of that, I don't think this particular criticism holds water. In the wild-card round, they were too aggressive in the third quarter, and that contributed to the short drives.

If you subscribe to @peterbukowski.bsky.social's theory about role complaining leading to the Packers severing ties with certain offensive players this offseason, this line from Matt LaFleur reads very interestingly.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur on Christian Watson's extension: "He embodies what we want to be about. He's a team-first kind of guy. Never once over the course of four years have I ever heard him complain about not getting the ball. He does all the little things the right way."

Jordan Love also ranked No. 1 overall in EPA/play against man coverage last season.

If it stands, the precedent set by the Lubbock County district court in the Brendan Sorsby case seems pretty ominous for the integrity of the games.

We did it again

Sure!

The Packers have made the Christian Watson extension official.

Packers legends Jamin Davis and Robert Tonyan have signed with the Steelers.

We did it

If the only guaranteed money in Christian Watson's new deal is that $31 million signing bonus — and it would be very Packers if so — then the team has some protection if his health doesn't hold up. At least based on the available details, this contract looks good for both sides though.

That the Packers committed some of their post-June 1 cap savings on an extension for Christian Watson shouldn't come as a surprise to @theleap.bsky.social readers, and the price tag is where we projected it. www.theleap.football/p/packers-po...

I have to assume Christian Watson and the Packers have only "reached agreement" on the four-year, $110.5 million extension and not actually signed it yet, unless the previous extension was actually signed much earlier than originally reported.

Depending on which report you read, the Cardinals will either trade Josh Sweat to the Packers or another team in the coming days or have no interest in moving him. I tried to untangle the web of conflicting accounts in my latest story for @theleap.bsky.social. www.theleap.football/p/making-sen...

The Pop-Tarts Bowl will return on Tuesday, Dec. 29 at 5:30 p.m. ET. Get your toasters ready.

If the Packers stick to the strict nine-month rule for players returning from a torn ACL and more like Micah Parsons just told reporters, the earliest they'd let him back on the field is Week 4. He had surgery on his injured knee just before New Year's Eve 2025.

Big day for Icemen

The NFL has confirmed the dates and kickoff times for the entire preseason. Here is the Packers' preseason schedule: Week 1: at Steelers, Thursday, Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. CT Week 2: at Broncos, Friday, Aug. 21 at 8 p.m. CT Week 3: vs. Cardinals, Friday, Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. CT

Browns GM Andrew Berry: "[Denzel Ward's] a big part of the team, and we like him a lot. He's still playing at a really high level. That doesn't change with [the Myles Garrett trade]." Also Berry: "Myles wasn't on the trading block. We weren't auctioning him off."

The Myles Garrett and A.J. Brown trades have been officially processed.

Former Packers safety Darnell Savage has signed with the Steelers.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur says Josh Jacobs will practice on Tuesday.
