The Green Bay Packers added some veteran leadership, signing Isaiah Simmons this April, and the veteran safety has high expectations for his first season in Defensive Coordinator Jeff Hafley’s system. “Honestly I feel like this is the most comfortable in a system I’ve been since I’ve been in the league,” Simmons told reporters, via ESPN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnpB4Tj_VLA&t=8s Simmons spent the past two seasons with the New York Giants, and is coming off a career-low 21 total tackles and is clearly looking to rebound and remind the rest of the NFL that he is still a quality starter at age 26. After…

Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper is altogether one of the most underrated players across the NFL, and perhaps the most gifted player on the roster. A centerpiece and force multiplier for Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Cooper burst onto the scene as a rookie, posting 87 total tackles with 3.5 sacks and one interception in 14 games. Now fully healthy, and after a taste of postseason experience for Green Bay as a rookie, Cooper could be poised to take a massive step forward in 2025.

The Green Bay Packers doubled down on upgrading quarterback Jordan Love’s receiving corps in hopes the offense takes the next step in 2025, and elevates the franchise’s postseason ceiling. Head coach Matt LaFLeur and the Packers are hoping first-round rookie Matthew Golden’s 4.29 speed throws open the playbook and ignites the vertical passing game, and Savion Williams climbs the depth chart as a possession receiver and after-the-catch threat. However, even after adding young depth, with upside, at receiver, there could be a potential pitfall awaiting the offense this season. Could Packers’ offensive Line be the Biggest Worry? Much of the…

All eyes have been on Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, and for good reason. The first-round draft choice with 4.29 speed has the opportunity to be a gamebreaker and difference-making talent in quarterback Jordan Love’s arsenal and a focal point of the Packers’ offense. However, at a crowded position group that also includes the likes of veterans Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson and fellow rookie Savion Williams, reps, regular-season snaps, and roster spots could be hard to come by. There might even be a trade in the weeks and months ahead, of Golden looks capable of climbing the depth…

There’s plenty of reason to be optimistic about the Packers’ ascent into the realm of Super Bowl contenders out of the NFC, in 2025. Whether it’s the defense making major strides in coordinator Jeff Hafley’s second season, or the arrival of speedy rookie receiver Matthew Golden into a receiving corps in desperate need of a difference-making playmaker, and Jordan Love making strides in his development, expectations are rightfully high in Green Bay. However, as CBS Sports NFL analyst Cody Benjamin points out, Love holds the majority of the Packers’ cards this season. “Love can’t contain his inner Brett Favre,” Benjamin…

Aaron Rodgers has a habit of collecting his former pass catchers in his new offense, since departing the Green Bay Packers following the 2022 season. Over the past two seasons with the New York Jets, former Packers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb spent time in Rodgers’ supporting cast, and now that he’s a Pittsburgh Steeler, the 41-year-old might once again push for one of his former teammates to join him in the Iron City. Could the Packers Trade Christian Watson to the Steelers? D.K. Metcalf is in place as a true deep threat for Rodgers, in Pittsburgh, but the Steelers…

The Green Bay Packers suddenly have a big void to fill on defense. After releasing All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander before mandatory minicamp kicked off, capping an offseason-long contract impasse, general manager Brian Gutekunst may need to get creative to fortify the Packers’ secondary in 2025. This week, the Packers even spent time working wide receiver Bo Melton in at cornerback, leaving no stone unturned to find quality defensive back play. Whether it’s promoting from within, a position change, or a blockbuster trade, Green Bay needs to figure something out before Week 1 kicks off in September. Could Familiar Face Replace…

The Green Bay Packers officially moved on from one All-Pro cornerback, releasing Jaire Alexander this week, but could be well positioned to add another to replace him. In Miami, Jalen Ramsey is holding out of Dolphins mandatory minicamp, seeking a new long-term contract amid an impasse in negotiations with the organization, which could be the perfect opportunity for GM Brian Gutekunst and the Packers to swoop in. At this stage, Ramsey may have alienated the Dolphins to the point that even a Day 2 draft choice could get a deal done, which could be the kind of value-add Green Bay…

Packers first-round draft choice Matthew Golden is in Green Bay, because general manager Brian Gutekunst and the front office believe that his game-altering speed can elevate quarterback Jordan Love and an offense in need of a spark to take it to the next level. While it has only been a month’s worth of OTA practices and now the Packers’ mandatory minicamp, Golden is making a strong first impression on his teammates, including arguably his most important one. Packers’ Matthew Golden Impressing Jordan Love Packers quarterback Jordan Love is already impressed by what he’s seen from the former University of Texas…

The Green Bay Packers aim to level up an already explosive offense in 2025. Quarterback Jordan Love and the offense led the NFL in explosive plays last season, but some of that success came in spite of a receiving corps that was ultimately besieged by injuries and mired by inconsistency through much of the 2024 campaign. As the 2025 NFL season approaches, at least one NFL analyst is bullish on the Packers’ offense taking strides this fall. Key Attribute Could Drive Jordan Love, Packers’ Success on Offense NFL Media’s Gennaro Filice ranks the Packers’ offense eighth in the league, while…
