The Green Bay Packers ended up being sellers at the trade deadline this year.  A fairly surprising trade saw the Packers ship DB Rasul Douglas and a fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a third-round pick in return.  The trade, to many fans, signified that the Packers are accepting that they are either in rebuild or at least admitting that they won’t be competitive this year. Receiving a third-round pick for Douglas means the Packers will have five picks in the first three rounds of the 2024 draft.  While that means the Packers can still keep building through the…

The Green Bay Packers are sitting at 2-5 on the 2023 NFL season and any hope for a playoff appearance is quickly dwindling (if not completely gone already).  Much of the teams’ struggles have come from the offensive side of the ball.  The inability to sustain drives, the lack of first half points, the lack of consistent and effective play calling have all had a detrimental effect on this team. Moving forward, would the team consider adding a veteran playmaker to the offense to try to boost their productivity?  One analyst seems to think so. Green Bay Packers Linked To…

The Green Bay Packers (shockingly) ended up being sellers at this year’s trade deadline.  Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas was traded in an absolutely shocking move. The Packers’ cornerback room just became even thinner without 2021 first round pick Eric Stokes and Jaire Alexander’s injured back. On Twitter (X), Ian Rapoport reported that Green Bay sent Douglas to Buffalo. That trade may have just move the Packers one step closer to their running back and wide receiver of the future.

The Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams are preparing for their Week Nine matchup at Lambeau Field this weekend.  Both teams are in desperate need of a win.  The Packers (2-5) are coming off three straight losses while the Rams (3-5) are coming off two straight losses. The Rams got some unfortunate news regarding their starting quarterback Matthew Stafford.  Stafford is reportedly dealing with a UCL strain in his right thumb and is listed as day to day.  In the wake of this news, the Rams have made a move at the position. The Los Angeles Rams Sign Quarterback…

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has made just as many headlines during his post football life than he did during his career.  The Hall Of Fame quarterback has been facing a lawsuit for quite some time now. The Mississippi state audit published in 2020 found at least $77 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds were misused, and Favre is among dozens of defendants in the case.  Six of the eight people indicted have pleaded guilty. A judge ruled in April that Favre would remain in the civil suit. In response, he has requested a jury trial. …

Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets did some work prior to the 2023 NFL Trade Deadline.  With the actual announcement that the Jets expect Aaron Rodgers back this season coming today, the Jets decided to add a multiple time pro-bowler that will make Aaron Rodgers happy. The New York Jets Sign Multiple-Time Pro-Bowler Rodger Saffold Prior To The NFL Trade Deadline Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Jets have signed offensive guard Rodger Saffold to their practice squad with the intention of promoting him to the active roster as soon as possible.

The Green Bay Packers (2-5) are heading into Week Nine with playoff expectations continually decreasing.  After starting the season 2-1, the Packers have lost four in a row and are struggling mightily on offense.  The defense, however, has had their ups and downs.  While they are currently allowed 22.3 points per game (20th in the NFL), they have had four games in which they held their opponents to 20 points or less. Today, the Packers decided to move on from one of their leaders on defense.  To say it shocked some Packers fans is an understatement. Green Bay Packers Deal…

The Green Bay Packers (2-5) are quickly losing any hope of a magical playoff run in 2023.  The team has lost three in a row, their most recent being a 24-10 drubbing by the Minnesota Vikings.  Many fans were excited after the first three weeks.  The Packers were 2-1 and had just seen the team pull off a miracle comeback win against the New Orleans Saints. However, since that time the Packers have gone on that aforementioned losing streak and things look extremely bleak, especially on the offensive side of the ball.  Following their Week Nine loss head coach Matt…

The Green Bay Packers (2-5) will face off against the Los Angeles Rams (3-5) in Week Nine.  The Packers are coming off their third straight loss of the season after suffering a brutal 24-10 loss at home to the Minnesota Vikings.  The Rams have lost two in a row after being blown out by the Dallas Cowboys 43-20. Both teams are looking for a win in the worst way, however, one team is going into the week knowing that their Super Bowl Champion leader may not be suiting up.

The Green Bay Packers figured to struggle offensively this season at times.  One off-season saw them become one of the youngest and most inexperienced offenses in the NFL.  In fact, Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Luke Musgrave, Tucker Kraft, Aaron Jones, and A.J. Dillon have an AVERAGE age of just about 24-years-old. That being said, the Packers certainly figure to add to that offense possibly this season (prior to the trade deadline), but especially next off-season.  The unfortunate loss to the Minnesota Vikings may have moved them one step closer to adding a game changing wide receiver.…
