Yes, the Green Bay Packers are rebuilding after trading Aaron Rodgers and focusing on younger players. Despite this, some fans may not believe that the team is actually in a rebuilding phase.
This two-part article will examine the reasons for both perspectives: Why the Packers are rebuilding and why some may argue that they are not.
Youth Movement
In 2023, the Green Bay Packers had 13 draft picks. One of the top picks was Lukas Van Ness, who is expected to contribute immediately. The coaches and management team are also focused on developing players like Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Jordan Love and added rookies Jayden Reed, Luke Musgrave, and Tucker Kraft. Since it’s an evaluation year, most of the rookies will likely start.

Are the Packers Rebuilding in 2023?
