@wendellfp I think the key is all of those players had replacements ready or would be drafted. Morgan for walker, golden/savion for wicks/doubs, etc. And you could argue the replacements on paper could/should be better.

I think we have different definitions of what a key player is.
Rasheed Walker, Malik Willis (for GB), Quay Walker, Enagbare, Wooden, Wicks weren't key players. Doubs may have been, but he's replaceable.
Go pack go.@Stevie_C1977
@Brandon_Sneide @wendellfp There is a tipping point in terms of the amount of key players you can lose and still be realistic contenders. Packers went way past that last season.

@JacobMorley Was thinking same thing. Should only help his development. Taylor has seen so much around the league
English
For the first time in his career as the starter
Jordan Love will have a veteran with him in the QB room.
Love that for him (and any QB tbh)
English
@MarkOldacres If he performs and stays healthy that's an easy win contract considering how much others with similar potential signed for this off-season. Plus cap continues to rise. Worst case scenario we would cut after year 2 or 3 and have minimal dead cap
English
If you factor in 2026 to Jayden Reed’s contract extension and look at it as a 4-year deal, depending if/when they move on, it is either:
1-year $21.8m deal
2-year $27.7m
3-year $40.3m
4-year $52.5m

Josh Jacobs’ younger brother, UAB running back Isaiah Jacobs, here for a tryout
English
Only reported UDFA not signed.
Easton Butler@Easton__Butler
The Packers signed Wake Forest TE Eni Falayi, per @mzenitz
English
@Wisconsin_fam Even if he doesnt perform this year fully. He would likely still have small trade value anyway. We have the space in 27 to roll the dice
English
I have no issue with the Packers picking up Lukas Van Ness’s fifth-year option. It works for both sides. Let it play out and see where it goes. It’s not some massive, long-term contract they’ll be stuck with for years. No harm, no foul.
English
@wendellfp Honestly pretty good list. You can always move players up and down based on opinion but its solid.
English
@MarkOldacres Yea they invested high picks in Morgan/belton, high money in banks/tom. Center was only possible change but rhyan taking that over. Betting on development and health for better oline play. 27 will be different if oline craps bed this year. Let's see how it goes
English
The only problem with the Packers offense last year was the O-line being hurt and not playing up to expectations.
The starting 5 for 2026 was set the moment 2025 ended, and the only question on offense is if the O-line gets back on track.
No one expected “additions” on offense.
Gregg Rosenthal@greggrosenthal
not counting UDFAs, Brian Gutekunst has added two offensive players to the Packers roster this offseason: Skyy Moore and fifth-round guard Jager Burton
English
@Angrymike23 @RossUglem Pretty sure nixon if on the team is cb1 still. Valentine/st juste will fight for cb2 in base defense. Cisse is probably cb3/4 out the gate. At least until he is ready. I doubt pending injury hes on the field as a starter
English
@RossUglem Agree he’ll be involved but get ready for more Nixon and Valentine
English
be prepared to be shocked.
ClippedbyCam@ClippedbyCam_
@RossUglem I’d be shocked if Cisse isn’t starting week 1
English
@spotrac Seems odd to decline what hes projecting to get anyway.
English
The #Lions have declined LB Jack Campbell's $21.9M 5th-year option for 2027 (which would have made him the highest average paid off-ball LB).
The 25-year-old projects toward a 4-year, $85M extension in our system - which would make him the highest average paid off-ball LB.
English
@packers_access Classic 2 year deal, then revisit. I like the high per game bonus as a small handcuff to help of he misses time. Should do that on more contracts

Jayden Reed's cap hit rankings amongst all NFL WRs

Jayden Reed contract details per spotrac very team friendly. Cap Hits: 2026 $6.7 Million 2027 $10.8 Million 2028 $17.6 Million 2029 $17.2 Million A three year extension that's really a one (two total). Russ Ball cooked here 🍳
English
@wendellfp Very team friendly contract for a young star. Reed seems happy taking early pay day vs playing on final year and rolling the dice at a bigger pay day
English
A very Packers-y contract. 2+2.

@Angrymike23 @AndyHermanNFL I think even Franklin over quay is big. Quay is a far better athlete but Franklin is a proven mike. Will allow coop to run wild hopefully
English
@AndyHermanNFL Hargrave over the combo of Brooks/Riley/Brinson is enormous
English
How much did the Packers actually improve?
This much:
Andy@MielkeRage
@AndyHermanNFL How much did we truly improve this offseason? Yes we addressed our needs this past weekend, but with no 1st round pick, some development projects and some Day 3 guys filling needs, how much better are we really? But to your point, we've been good-not-great the last several years
English
@RossUglem When your star players go down, its where depth comes in. But no one was replacing Micah. That pass rush hid our defensive issues all season. Losing wyatt with him hurt even more.
English
in the third quarter in denver they were great
they were 9-3-1 gonna be 10-3-1
then everyone got hurt
that’s football

@PackersNotes They could easily sign any vet rb for low cost if needed. I wonder if they wait until otas/training camp and see how room looks before exploring vet market.
English
Depth behind aging Josh Jacobs would be fine if MarShawn Lloyd could go more than 3 practices without getting hurt. But since he hasn't shown the ability to do that for the past 2 years, it's important for Brian Gutekunst to add a legit RB2 before the start of the regular season.
English
@Angrymike23 @AndyHermanNFL I would rather take flyer on lattimore or snead if we went that route
English
The Cowboys took a massive cap hit to get rid of Trevon Diggs. The Packers picked him up for $500,000 and proceeded to play him one meaningful snap. Immediately when the season was done the Packers cut him. No negotiation, just see ya. He was one of the very first players who could sign with any team starting in February ahead of free agency yet we’re now after the draft and he hasn’t signed with anyone. Meanwhile the Packers signed BSJ and drafted two corners. If you’re still waiting for Diggs I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news.
Packerfan Total Access- Clayton@packers_access
Today is the day the Packers usually sign a post draft free agent. Who would be on your short list of players you wanna see Brian Gutekunst sign? I would like to see Trevon Diggs and Calais Campbell, for the right price of course.
English
@Angrymike23 I think CW is a fine QB. I wonder how sustainable his magic out of the pocket is. If he grows as a pocket passer he could really be dangerous. Bears/packers are definitely set up for long success
English
@nickolson1 It’s bias on both sides. Both are really good young QBs.
English
Why do Bears fans think Jordan Love is a bad QB and CW18 is elite you say? Bears QB play has been so bad for so long, it makes good QB play seem elite. GB had Elite QB play for 30 years makes Good QB seem poor. #gopackgo
English
Gute said he would have liked to add a Y tight end in the draft but didn’t.
Will Dissly would make a ton of sense if the price is right.
Zach Kruse@zachkruse2
Last year, the Packers signed Isaiah Simmons on the Tuesday after the draft. Any veteran arriving this year?
