The Green Bay Packers are tasked with elevating their playoff-caliber roster to the next level, similar to the Philadelphia Eagles’ off-season efforts last year. Despite consecutive playoff appearances and being one of the NFL’s youngest teams, fans are eager for strategic moves to address key weaknesses.
During Super Bowl week, running back Josh Jacobs made some comments about adding some elite star power to the roster.
Today, Green Bay’s general manager addressed those comments.
“I Talked To Josh” Packers’ GM Makes Feelings Known About WR Comments By Josh Jacobs (Report)
According to Aaron Nagler of CheeseHead TV:
“I talked to Josh before and after that about our football team. Things that are in the media, I don’t pay too much attention to, unless it’s something that’s detrimental to our football team, which that wasn’t.”
Gutekunst on Josh Jacobs’ Super Bowl comments.
Green Bay’s offseason may have started with some controversy. During Super Bowl week, running back Josh Jacobs said the Packers were two or three pieces away from becoming a top team, pointing out they needed an elite wide receiver:
According to Wendell Ferrieria:
Josh Jacobs has said how much he trusts quarterback Jordan Love to become a star in the NFL, but the running back mentioned the need for a top receiving weapon.
“We need a wide receiver—a real wide receiver,” Jacobs told Chris Simms. “Love the guys we have, but we need a proven No. 1.”
For Jacobs, it’s important to have established pieces to help the growth of younger players.
“We have the youngest team in the NFL,” Jacobs told Kay Adams on the Up and Adams Show. “We’re still going through some growing pains right now, trying to figure it out, how to do things right on a day-to-day basis. I feel like the little things killed us a lot in the games that we did lose. Once we put it all together, I think we’ll be alright.”
Here is a look at Green Bay’s current draft picks in 2025:
- No. 23 (first round)
- No. 54 (second round)
- No. 87 (third round)
- No. 123 (fourth round)
- No. 160 (fifth round)
- No. 200 (sixth round)
