The Chicago Bears have no shortage of ex-Packers on their 2022 NFL Roster.  It feels like every few weeks we are hearing about them adding another one.  The most recent one is DT Mike Pennel.  Pennel, 31, is entering his ninth NFL season and has spent time with five other teams, including a stint with Kansas City in 2019-20.  He spent the first three years of his career in Green Bay (2014-2016). This is the fifth ex-Packers the Bears have added this season Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy Offensive Lineman Lucas Patrick Wide Receiver Equanimeous St. Brown Wide Receiver David Moore…

The Green Bay Packers have selected LB Quay Walker, Georgia.  After a massive run on wide receiver in the first round involving: WR Drake London (ATL), WR Garrett Wilson (NYJ), WR Chris Olave (NO), WR Jameson Williams (DET), WR Marquise Brown (traded to AZ),  WR Jahan Dotson (WAS), WR AJ Brown (traded to PHI), WR Treylon Burks (TEN) the Packers wound up with one of the best LBs in the draft.  Early returns have been nothing short of remarkable.  Quay Walker is turning heads everywhere on the defensive side of the ball. https://twitter.com/CSimmsQB/status/1519867831256600579?s=20&t=thJlfbnxvCRQWOZnygjT7w DeVondre Campbell With High Praise of the…

Allen Lazard will officially be on the field for the Packers in 2022.  WR Allen Lazard signed his restricted free agent tender with the Green Bay Packers.  The signed deal can reportedly create even more cap space for the Green Bay Packers this year. How can the Packers create space? By Ken Ingalls’ projections, the Packers can create around $1.5 million in additional cap space for this season if they choose to max out their savings opportunity with Lazard’s contract. Instead of recognizing the entire cap hit this year, on paper, Green Bay now has four years (2022 plus 3…

The Detroit Lions are not done when it comes to free agency.  Today they reportedly added to their pass catchers by signing veteran wide receiver Devin Funchess. https://twitter.com/lions/status/1536809685445140481?s=21&t=K2NwM44yV4xzGpKSqRk7gA Devin Funchess a TE? What made this signing even more interesting was that they converted Funchess to a tight end.  Much like Kelvin Benjamin before him, former Packers WR Devin Funchess is now trying to salvage his career with a new team and a new position. The Packers released Devin Funchess with an injury settlement in August 2021.  It came two days after they placed him on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring…

It has been noted all off-season long that the Packers’ third safety spot is up for grabs.  That was even more solidified when the Packers didn’t take a single defensive back in the 2022 NFL Draft.  Of course this became official after the Packers converted S Tariq Carpenter (7th round pick) to LB after the draft.  However this could all be because the Packers already have someone on the roster who they think can play safety opposite Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage.  That guy?  Shawn Davis. Who is Safety Shawn Davis? Shawn Davis is a 5-foot-11, 202-pound rookie out of…

The Green Bay Packers had a seriously fun time paint balling during their team building activity.  On Thursday June 9th, the Green Bay Packers went to Commando Paint Ball Sports and unleashed an epic game of paintball.  Here are some of the best shots: Green Bay Packers Paint Balling: (All photo credit: Evan Siegle) While the competition was the centerpiece of the day, the opportunity to forge new friendships and bonds between returning veterans and new acquisitions was the overarching benefit.  These are always great to see for the team prior to the season starting.

According to ESPN.com’s Field Yates, the Packers claimed rookie kicker Gabe Brkic off waivers.  He was claimed from the Minnesota Vikings squad on Monday.  The corresponding move was to release kicker Dominik Eberle.
