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...

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...

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...

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-...

With Super Bowl LX now in the rearview mirror, the entire NFL has turned its attention to the offseason. Already, some significant developments appear to be underway for the Packers. I wrote about them for @theleap.bsky.social. www.theleap.football/p/the-offsea...

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst tackled myriad subjects during his season-closing presser. However, he probably revealed more with what he didn't say than what he did. I wrote about it for @theleap.bsky.social. www.theleap.football/p/what-brian...

To clarify on some reporting that’s out there, the #Packers did not fire WRs coach Ryan Mahaffey, a source told @theleap.bsky.social Sean Mannion wanted to bring Mahaffey to Philly and Green Bay allowed him to leave. The team could have blocked the promotion but didn’t.

The Packers have hired a new DC, tabbing former Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon to run their defense. The decision raises questions, and not only those about his past job performance. For @theleap.bsky.social: Unpacking the hire of Gannon as Green Bay DC www.theleap.football/p/unpacking-...

The Packers and Broncos defensive pass-game coordinator Jim Leonhard have "mutual interest," according to @rapsheet.bsky.social. This echoes @theleap.bsky.social's reporting from earlier this week about Leonhard's candidacy for Green Bay's open DC position. www.theleap.football/p/replacing-...

Jeff Hafley (along with recent national reports) pointed directly toward a coach like Sean Duggan being his DC in Miami. @byjbh.bsky.social reported the Duggan bit more than a month ago for @theleap.bsky.social www.theleap.football/p/what-were-...

Christian Parker has reportedly landed the Cowboys' DC job, but the Packers still have plenty of candidates to consider as they search for Jeff Hafley's successor. I wrote about Green Bay's DC search for @theleap.bsky.social 👇

After a successful two-year stint in Green Bay, Jeff Hafley has taken his talents to South Beach. Now, the Packers must identify his successor. For @theleap.bsky.social: What we've heard about the Packers DC search and which coaches have a path to the job www.theleap.football/p/replacing-...

The Packers lost Jeff Hafley to the Dolphins on Monday. His exit won't be the only change to the coaching staff this offseason. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about who could follow Hafley to Miami and what comes next for Green Bay. www.theleap.football/p/jeff-hafle...

With the Green Bay's 2025 season in the rearview mirror, how did the team's most recent draft picks stack up to their preseason expectations? For @theleap.bsky.social: Reviewing the Packers' 2025 draft class in Year 1 www.theleap.football/p/reviewing-...

A lot of people are learning about Nathan Scheelhaase for the first time this month, but readers of @theleap.bsky.social have had him on their radar for a while. www.theleap.football/p/a-key-figu...

Packer HC Matt LaFleur mentioned multiple problems that weren't all on the players. As always, he accepted the blame for those, but that would seem to hint that staff changes are coming even if LaFleur returns. I wrote about that this morning for @theleap.bsky.social 👇

The Packers' coaching staff won't look the same next season, and that's true whether they retain Matt LaFleur or not. For @theleap.bsky.social: The LaFleur question isn't the only one hanging over Green Bay as the offseason begins. www.theleap.football/p/the-lafleu...

The Packers and Bears will meet for the third time in the playoffs. The outcome of this "rubber match" will likely hinge on just a few key factors. For @theleap.bsky.social: The 3 questions that will determine the outcome of Green Bay vs. Chicago www.theleap.football/p/the-3-ques...

Todd Monken is likely now a free agent OC. Back in 2023, Monken told @byjbh.bsky.social he believed he HAD the #Packers HC job before Matt LaFleur was hired. www.theleap.football/p/the-packer...

Last Sunday, Barryn Sorrell saw his most extensive workload to date, while Collin Oliver made his NFL debut. For a Packers defense in need of pass rushers, their play holds increased importance. For @theleap.bsky.social: What did the two rookies show in Minnesota?

I should have clarified: The Packers signed UDFA Prospectus™ legend Messiah Swinson to the practice squad. www.theleap.football/p/2024-udfa-...

If, as expected, Green Bay sits its starters on Sunday, the coaching staff should use the de facto exhibition as an opportunity to experiment with certain players. For @theleap.bsky.social: If the Packers rest starters in Week 18, they can at least get weird.

On Saturday, Malik Willis delivered the best game of his career to date. But for as impressive as he played, his outlook for 2026 remains largely unchanged. For @theleap.bsky.social: Putting Willis' performance against the Ravens in context

No matter how things break, the Packers face an uphill battle to reach Super Bowl LX. Still, some playoff scenarios offer more challenges than others. For @theleap.bsky.social: These are Green Bay's best paths to the Super Bowl (and they're not easy).

The Packers would probably benefit from a new special-teams coordinator. However, the organization imposes restrictions on itself that make such changes more complicated. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay's special-teams problems are bigger than Rich Bisaccia.

I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about Collin Oliver's outlook in 2025 and beyond 👇 www.theleap.football/p/what-can-p...

It sounds like the Packers will start Jordan Morgan, not Darian Kinnard, at right tackle in place of the inactive Zach Tom. Readers of @theleap.bsky.social already expected this. www.theleap.football/p/packers-in...

The Packers have a lot on the line over the next three games. For some of their assistant coaches, the upcoming weeks will hold additional significance. For @theleap.bsky.social: What we're hearing about Green Bay's assistants and the 2026 hiring cycle

The Packers' injury reports have resembled CVS receipts for much of the 2025 season, but this week presents a heightened challenge on the health front. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay's injuries require the coaching staff to find creative solutions.

The Packers lost more than just a game in Denver. Now, their entire season hangs by a thread. For @theleap.bsky.social: What's left for Green Bay after Micah Parsons' season-altering injury? https://www.theleap.football/p/whats-left-for-the-packers-after

Less than a year after tearing an ACL, Christian Watson has emerged as the best version of himself to date and rewarded the Packers handsomely in the process. For @theleap.bsky.social: This is the Christian Watson that Green Bay has waited for.

The Broncos defense, particularly their pass rush, is the toughest test the Packers will have faced since the Browns game. Why it can be different this time around. www.theleap.football/p/a-revamped...

Reasonable minds can differ about the NFC's best team. But with little separating those at the top of the conference, the Packers should feel good about their chances against anyone. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay has no one left to fear in the NFC.

The Packers have officially activated Jayden Reed from IR. He'll make his return against the Bears tomorrow.

The Packers have designated several players to come off either IR or the PUP list. Some could contribute as soon as this Sunday. Others might not see action this season. For @theleap.bsky.social: What can Green Bay expect from the players pushing to return?

The Bears are the No. 1 turnover team in the NFL by a mile. They create a bunch and don't give the ball away. That can't cause Matt LaFleur to call a game scared of turning it over. I wrote about it today for @theleap.bsky.social www.theleap.football/p/matt-lafle...

The Packers defense will again have to play without Devonte Wyatt. The plan for filling his void along the interior will look different this time, however. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about what that plan will involve and, just as importantly, what it won't.

The #Packers will have their hands full dealing with the #Bears run game. Their secret weapon isn't a 320-pound defensive tackle. It's a 200-pound defensive back with the bourbon name who is becoming a star. www.theleap.football/p/evan-willi...

The Packers opened MarShawn Lloyd's practice window, but several hurdles remain for the second-year running back. I wrote about him in today's edition of @theleap.bsky.social.

The Packers can retake the lead in the NFC North and perhaps even gain the inside track for the No. 1 seed in Week 14, but several matters linger over the team as Sunday approaches. For @theleap.bsky.social: questions for the final stretch of the regular season

This week, I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social that the Packers could deliver the knockout blow to the Lions' hopes of repeating as NFC North champs. Blow delivered.

Thanksgiving won't determine whether the Lions reach the playoffs, but their hopes of repeating as division champs will land on life support with a loss to the Packers. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay can deliver the knockout blow to Detroit.

Rashan Gary's production in 2025 might look decent on the surface. However, a closer examination reveals some cause for alarm. For @theleap.bsky.social: It's time for the Rashan Gary conversation. https://www.theleap.football/p/its-time-for-the-rashan-gary-conversation

The Packers got back in the win column and made meaningful progress in some areas. However, Sunday's tilt didn't quite represent a get-right game. For @theleap.bsky.social: What questions did Green Bay answer and which ones remain open entering Week 12?

Yes, Carrington Valentine should have caught at least one of the two passes that Jameis Winston threw to him. It's not surprising, however. It's part of the reason he was available for the Packers in the seventh round two years ago. www.theleap.football/p/how-did-ca...

After scoring 20 combined points over the past two weeks, the Packers offense requires some meaningful adjustments to get on track. Even on a short week, these changes could happen. For @theleap.bsky.social: What changes might help Green Bay pull out of its funk?

Matt LaFleur's game plan for the Eagles didn't work. More damningly, he didn't seem interested in shifting tactics, dooming the Packers to their second straight loss. For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay can't be taken seriously until LaFleur gets serious.

Asante Samuel Jr. has completed his visit with the Vikings, according to the transaction wire. I wrote for @theleap.bsky.social about Samuel's Thursday visit with the Packers, his free-agent tour in general, and what he might offer Green Bay.
