Thursday Cheese Curds: Don’t get worried about Lambeau Field lease yet

Thursday Cheese Curds: Don’t get worried about Lambeau Field lease yet

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ The Packers aren’t going anywhere. It would be understandable if Green Bay Packers went into a minor panic this week after revelations about the team’s lease on Lambeau Field came to light. Team president Mark Murphy addressed the lease with the city of Green Bay, which owns the stadium, and the fact that the city has pulled out of extension negotiations recently. What? Are the Packers going to be leaving? As a complicated fella once said, R-E-L-A-X. The lease still has another nine years to go, which is plenty of time for the two sides...

Packers are one of two finalist teams to play week 1 game against Eagles in Brazil

Photo by John Jones/Icon Sportswire via It’s down to Green Bay and Cleveland for a long trip in the opening week of the season. The NFL’s annual meetings are currently taking place in Orlando, and the league has announced plenty of news in recent days. Rules changes are among the hottest topics this week, from the new kickoff rules to the hip-drop tackle, but one other item that directly affects the Green Bay Packers involves their week one matchup. It is possible that the Packers could know their first opponent of the 2024 season much earlier than the announcement...

Monday Cheese Curds: Jordan Love oozes confidence heading into year 2 as starting QB

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ And after the second half of last season, why shouldn’t he? The Green Bay Packers have a good one — we all saw the development from Jordan Love over the 2023 season, and after getting a one-year contract extension last year, he’s going to cash in with a huge new deal this summer. Given that success and the surprise playoff appearance (and surprise Wild Card win) that he contributed to, it should come as no surprise that he’s confident heading into his second season as a starter. This weekend, Love made an appearance on a podcast with...

Friday Cheese Curds: Pro Day circuit continues as Packers look for answers at linebacker

Friday Cheese Curds: Pro Day circuit continues as Packers look for answers at linebacker

Photo by Logan Riely/ After the Packers were unable to bring in any starter-level linebackers in free agency, they will shift their focus at that position to the draft. The biggest addition to the Green Bay Packers’ linebacker room so far this offseason took place on Thursday, when the team re-signed Eric Wilson to a new contract. Wilson, who started 15 games for the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, at least helps maintain some depth at the position heading into a 2024 season that will see the Packers change up their base defense. That change has them in need of more bodies...

Packers re-sign linebacker Eric Wilson, according to Eric Wilson

Dan Powers/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin / USA TODAY NETWORK Green Bay is bringing back another core special teamer who is capable of pitching in on defense. The Green Bay Packers need bodies at linebacker after moving to a 4-3 base defense, and on Thursday the team has reportedly added some valuable veteran depth. The Packers have finally re-signed Eric Wilson, according to a post on Wilson’s own Instagram account: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eric Wilson (@ewil_) Wilson will return to Green Bay for a third...

Thursday Cheese Curds: NFL proposes rules changes, Packers look for kicker competition

Photo by Cooper Neill/ Anders Carlson isn’t safe, though the Packers were unsuccessful in bringing in a veteran to compete with him recently. Saying that Anders Carlson had an inconsistent rookie year for the Green Bay Packers in 2023 would be a study in understatement. The 6th-round draft pick missed more place-kicks than any other kicker in the NFL last year, with six missed field goals and five missed PATs. Those 11 misses were one more than New England’s Chad Ryland, a fellow rookie who missed ten total kicks. It should come as no surprise that the Packers are...

Packers will host Ohio State DT Michael Hall, Jr. on Top-30 Draft visit

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ The potential top-100 pick is visiting Green Bay, a potential sign that the Packers aren’t going to ignore the defensive line in the 2024 NFL Draft. We can add another name to the list of 2024 NFL Draft prospects who will be visiting the Green Bay Packers between now and late April. After linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (Texas A&M) and offensive lineman Zak Zinter (Michigan) were reported last week, news about visitors had died down until Wednesday, when a third planned visitor was reported. According to Zac Jackson of The Athletic, Ohio State...

Monday Cheese Curds: Free agent pickings are already slim for Packers after one week

Monday Cheese Curds: Free agent pickings are already slim for Packers after one week

Photo by Stacy Revere/ The market is already drying up, particularly at linebacker, where the Packers have yet to make any notable additions. Get ready for a lot of Quay Walker and Isaiah McDuffie this fall. The Green Bay Packers could do far worse than these two players as their top two linebackers in 2024, but they are the only players with any substantial experience in the team’s linebacker room at present. Considering that position is one that will need a bigger group of bodies in Jeff Hafley’s defense than in the previous 3-4 scheme, it’s at least somewhat...

Packers Top 30 Visit Tracker: Which 2024 NFL Draft prospects are visiting Green Bay?

Packers Top 30 Visit Tracker: Which 2024 NFL Draft prospects are visiting Green Bay?

Photo by Kara Durrette/ The Packers are starting to schedule their official visitors in the ramp-up to Draft Day in April. The 2024 NFL Draft is exactly six weeks away, and the Green Bay Packers have begun setting up official visits for draft prospects. Green Bay has historically drafted many of the players whom they bring in for the formal “Top-30” visits, so tracking these prospects is a worthwhile exercise. Last year, the Packers drafted four of the players who they brought in on these visits and acquired two more, either as undrafted free agents after the draft...

Thursday Cheese Curds: Packers continue youth movement into 2024

Photo by Stacy Revere/ With the releases of three veterans, the Packers now have just one player older than 28 on the roster. At the start of the week, the Green Bay Packers had four players aged 29 or older on their roster. As of Thursday morning, that number is down to just one. Preston Smith, while not the longest-tenured current Packer, is the oldest player on the roster at 31 years old. But gone are three of the other four players referenced above, as the Packers moved on from David Bakhtiari, De’Vondre Campbell, and Aaron Jones in recent days. Each of those...

Packers agree to contract with free agent RB Josh Jacobs, per report

Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports Green Bay’s first big splash of free agency is here, and it’s a running back. The first (small) domino fell for the Green Bay Packers in free agency on Monday morning, when they re-signed tight end Tyler Davis to a one-year deal. Now, a much bigger shoe has dropped, with the team landing their first big-name free agent from an outside team in several years. That name is running back Josh Jacobs, a five-year veteran who has spent his entire career to this point with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and...

Packers re-sign TE Tyler Davis to one-year contract, per report

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports The special teamer and reserve tight end missed all of 2023 with a torn ACL. The Green Bay Packers have made their first signing of the 2024 free agency period, just an hour ahead of the official opening of negotiations with unrestricted free agents. The team has brought back tight end Tyler Davis on a one-year deal, as first reported by Rob Demovsky of ESPN. In all likelihood, Davis’ deal will be for the league minimum. However, details of the contract have not yet been reported. A four-year veteran, Davis was a critical member of the...

Monday Cheese Curds: Let the free agent feeding frenzy begin

Photo by Jim McIsaac/ With the Packers expected to be major players in free agency, this week should be more interesting than usual for fans of the green and gold. For the first time in five years, the Green Bay Packers should be major players in the early part of the NFL’s free agency period. And that period begins today with the start of contract negotiations. Thankfully, the term “legal tampering” has fallen out of favor, with the more accurate and less questionable “negotiation period” taking over. Although players cannot formally agree to contract terms...

Friday Cheese Curds: Packers are getting ready to open up the wallet for free agents

Photo by Stacy Revere/ A few more moves should be coming this weekend as the Packers prepare to be players in this year’s free agent market. $13 million in total salary cap space — and just over $9 million in “effective” cap space — doesn’t seem like a lot for an NFL team. Those are the current numbers for the Green Bay Packers just three days before the 2024 free agent negotiation period begins (on Monday) and five days ahead of the official start of free agency (Wednesday). In all likelihood, those numbers will jump dramatically by Monday, however. The...

Thursday Cheese Curds: Packers get ready to do the safety dance next week

Photo by Ryan Kang/ More safeties keep getting cut around the NFL, so the Packers should have no shortage of options when free agency opens next week. As the Green Bay Packers head into the start of free agency next week with their books mostly under control, several other NFL teams are in the midst of massive salary cap-related cuts. Cap casualties are racking up all around the NFL, and no position has been hit harder by the preseason cap crunch than safety. That is true when looking at the total amount of non-guaranteed salary relief the NFL has shed by position, as...
