The Green Bay Packers have had an up-and-down week, haven’t they? They signed Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney but lost Aaron Jones and David Bahktiari to free agency. David is still in limbo, probably just to sign with the Jets. Jones, however, joined Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley by joining his rivals. In Aaron’s case, he inked a short-term deal with the Vikings. Not the Lions or the Bears, two teams Green Bay fans usually feel pity for. The Vikings, the biggest divisional rival give Green Bay the most trouble. Most fans are still stunned by the news and are…

Jordan Love has finally taken off. After years of being in the incubator, he’s finally taken over the reins of the Packers, getting the baton from Aaron Rodgers (who got it from Brett Favre, and so on). One thing that’s been forgotten about him is that he was a part of the same draft class as other stars such as Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts. While those guys were reaching Super Bowls, Love was waiting and waiting, learning as he sat. Technically he was reaching NFC championships, just not as the starting QB. It might be too early to call…

The Green Bay Packers have the NFL world as their oyster right now. With Jordan Love still being a net positive on the team’s cap space over the next few years, the team has a lot of money they can play with. Even with their current low space, they can restructure contracts and play their FO magic to get the free agents they want to obtain. The Packer’s drafting, meanwhile, is where things become rather curious. They can go one of several directions – they can treat the draft like it’s free agency and get immediate impact players, or they…

The Green Bay Packers made a somewhat surprising move when they picked up Xavier McKinney this week. While there were rumors and the team has needed as much DB help as possible, the team hasn’t pulled the trigger on a free agency move this big since Za’darius Smith’s signing in 2019 (that’s arguable of course). This and the Josh Jacobs signing were a pleasant shock to Green Bay fans, though part of this is due to the best cap space the team has had in a long time. McKinney isn’t exactly the biggest name in football, so many Packers fans…

The Green Bay Packers have a lot to work on this off-season. They’ll do everything they can to improve offense, defense, and special teams with free agency signings and trades no doubt about it. As far as the draft is concerned, the Packers can be a hard team to predict, but 2 things are certain – when a franchise QB is up there in age the team will draft a QB to sit behind them, and they’ll almost always draft offensive weapons (RB, WR, TE) in the mid rounds. This year would be a great year for Green Bay to…

The Green Bay Packers have way too many options on their plate with free agency about to take place. They could go all in now or do what they normally do, which is play the big-picture game. The draft will then follow their free agency strategy, or at the very least complement it. Maybe they go win now with free agency and draft developmental players, or they draft winnow guys and sign young prove-it players to try and fix. Intersecting free agency and the majority of the draft class is the first-round pick. Teams can draft a player that they…

The Green Bay Packers have had an interesting off-season thus far. Releasing Aaron Jones and David Bahktiari has hurt the fan base, but signing Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney has helped inspire optimism for the future of the organization. While there’s still some potential for another decent-size signing, fans have been looking most forward to the draft. That was the case before free agency, and it’s still the case now. Part of the reason is the youth movement the team is making. It’s technically in a rebuild still, with a young QB and a defensive makeover in the midst, so…

Green Bay Packers, Josh Jacobs

The Packers have had quite an exciting week, haven’t they? Starting off with the bad, the team has cut David Bahktiari and Aaron Jones. Those moves were somewhat expected but unfortunate nonetheless.  On the plus side, the team signed safety Xavier McKinney and brought in a couple of other smaller (but important) pieces. The biggest of all moves was the signing of Josh Jacobs. A move that was somewhat surprising to Packers and NFL fans worldwide, it’s a great and exciting move that moves the needle towards a better future for Green Bay. Jacobs is still young, being drafted in…

The Green Bay Packers have several needs and wants heading into the 2024 NFL draft season. They’re bound to make some offensive additions, but with all their young talent on that side of the ball, they’ll be looking to bolster their inconsistent defense. There are a million ways to skin a cat, and there are a million ways to fix a defense overnight. With new DC Jeff Hafley, the team will have to get new players to fit his 4-3 Cover 2 system. They already got Xavier McKinney, but there’s more they can do.  This typically requires at least some…

The Milwaukee Bucks have been synonymous with green and cream for decades. The iconic deer logo, a symbol of the city’s resilience, has graced jerseys and arenas for generations. Numerous Hall of Famers have played in this jersey. It’s very similar to the Green Bay Packers and their design – it’s old school, and no one wants to change it. It’s had some alterations, including one in 2015, but nothing too drastic. But some NBA teams have rebranded recently, and even more are going to join the course. Most recently, the LA Clippers have done a full-on rebrand based on…
