The Green Bay Packers made a rare big splash in free agency when they signed 2022 NFL rushing leader Josh Jacobs. Of course, Jacobs will take over as the premier running back due to Aaron Jones (who has since signed with the Minnesota Vikings) being released. The Packers also drafted USC running back Marshawn Lloyd in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft and brought back AJ Dillon on a one-year deal. Earlier this offseason, the Packers were chosen as one of the teams that will play their Week One game in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The matchup against the…

The Green Bay Packers made some pretty significant changes this offseason. Offensively, the Packers made the decision to move on from running back Aaron Jones, who has since signed with the Minnesota Vikings. In his place, Green Bay signed 2022 NFL rushing leader Josh Jacobs and drafted USC’s Marshawn Lloyd in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Additionally, they brought back a motivated AJ Dillon on an extremely team-friendly deal. In the trenches, at least on the offensive side of the ball, the Packers bid adieu to Jon Runyan Jr., Yosh Nijman, and David Bakhtiari. Runyan and Nijman…

The Milwaukee Bucks set the NBA abuzz late last offseason when they acquired All-Star point guard Damian Lillard in a trade with the Portland Trailblazers and Phoenix Suns. As part of the deal, Milwaukee sent shooting guard Grayson Allen to Phoenix while Jrue Holiday was sent to Portland. The move was made without the knowledge or approval of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was close to Holiday. This is not to say Giannis was unhappy with the move; but rather that the front office did not want to put him in a place where he would have to choose between…

Over the past few seasons, it could be argued that the Green Bay Packers’ biggest rival in the NFC North has been the Minnesota Vikings. While the Packers and Chicago Bears have one of the oldest rivalries in sports, Green Bay has won every single game against Chicago since Matt LaFleur took over has head coach in 2019. Since 1993, Brett Favre’s first full season as the Packers’ starting quarterback, Green Bay is 48-14 against Chicago. In that same time frame, the Packers are 34-26-2 against the Vikings. So, while Green Bay holds the advantage in the rivalry over the…

The Green Bay Packers seem to have found the formula to success when it comes to finding their franchise quarterback. Even though they had a Pro Bowl level quarterback in Don Majkowski in 1992, Hall of Fame general manager Ron Wolf traded a first round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for Brett Favre. After Majkowski got hurt, Favre went on to start every game as the Packers quarterback for the next 15 years. Even when Favre was still playing well, the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. After sitting behind Favre for three…

The Green Bay Packers are one of the youngest and most unique teams in the NFL. They are unique because, unlike many other teams, they rely primarily on homegrown talent at key positions without diving too deep into free agency. Of course, they signed safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs this offseason, but they are exceptions to Green Bay’s typical approach to building their roster. This does not mean, though, that fans have not wanted Green Bay to explore big-time signings or trades in the past. The latter years of Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the Packers saw many…

The Green Bay Packers have revitalized their running back room this offseason. For the past seven season, the Packers’ backfield featured, to some degree, fan-favorite Aaron Jones. Over the course of those seven year, Jones became Green Bay’s third all-time rushing leader, trailing just Ahman Green and Hall of Famer Jim Taylor. Unfortunately, the Packers and Jones could not reach an agreement this offseason and he was released. The decision the Packers made to release Jones because he did not want to take another pay cut was not a very popular one with the fan base. However, in Green Bay’s…

The Green Bay Packers made a difficult and somewhat unpopular decision when they traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets last offseason. Obviously, the move was made to pave the way for Jordan Love, whom they traded up for in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, to take over as their starting quarterback. At the time of the trade, and in the weeks leading up to it, general manager Brian Gutekunst took a great deal of heat from the media and some of his team’s own fans. Despite the fact that Rodgers had the worst statistical full…

The Milwaukee Brewers are not usually known for making big splashes in free agency. This offseason’s signing of first baseman Rhys Hoskins was possible because he had missed the entire 2023 season with a torn ACL. Even so, it cost Milwaukee $17 million annually in order to get him. Even then, the second year of his deal is a player option, so there is no guarantee he will be with the Brewers beyond this season. Instead, the Brewers typically look for bargain-bin free agents that they can use for a year before signing another one or a prospect becomes ready…

The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to salvage one game in their series with the Philadelphia Phillies after losing the first two by a combined score of 5-2. When they take the field of play on Wednesday, they are going to turn to left-handed starter Aaron Ashby, who was recently called up from Triple-A Nashville. Left-handed reliever Jared Koenig had started each of the previous two games as the team’s opener. The decision to use Koenig as the opener was due to the numerous strong left-handed hitters at the top of the Phillies’ lineup. However, the decision to bring Ashby up,…
