The Green Bay Packers are in a position to compete for a post-season run and possibly a Super Bowl just one full season after trading away Aaron Rodgers.  Jordan Love and the young group of weapons surrounding him put the league on notice during the second half of the 2023 season. The 2024 off-season has been spent staying young while remaining competitive.  Josh Jacobs (26) and Xavier McKinney (24) are prime examples of that.  However, the Packers did bring in one veteran and his contract terms were just released. The Green Bay Packers Agree To Extremely Team Friendly Deal As…

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have the oldest rivalry in NFL history.  However, the “rivalry” has been a tad one-sided lately.  Between April 24, 2014, and April 24, 2024, the Bears are 2-18 versus the Packers. Overall the Packers have a 107-95-6 record against the rival to the south.  It has gotten to the point where even Bears players are sick of losing to the Packers.  When one of those players said it would be different in 2024, a Packers veteran put him in his place.

The Green Bay Packers made the extremely tough decision to move on from star LT David Bakhtiari.  While he has been a pillar of the Packers’ offensive line for the better part of the last decade, the recent injuries coupled with his 2024 cap hit, was just too much for the Packers. The All-Pro left tackle has made it clear on more than one occasion that he isn’t done playing in the NFL just yet.  The 32-year-old (33 by the start of next year) is determined to prove that he can still be one of the best left tackles in…

The Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals are looking to compete for a Super Bowl in 2024.  Both teams seem to have their franchise quarterback and a plethora of young talent surrounding him.  The Packers surprised everyone in 2023 by coming up just three points shy of the NFC Championship game.  The Bengals suffered a brutal injury to their star quarterback Joe Burrow, and finished just 9-8 on the year. Both teams will look to get healthy in their own right for 2024 and compete for a playoff push.  That being said, the two teams could be in business with…
