Making The Cut 1.0
Now that the first preseason game has been played, I finally feel ready to make a still-too-early prediction on the 53-man roster.

Jackson Traded To Giants
In a trade of disappointing corners picked early in the 2018 draft, Green Bay sent Josh Jackson to the Giants for Isaac Yiadom. The trade will save the Packers about $366K in cap space. Jackson, who went into the 2018 NFL Combine as a potential top-20 pick, saw his stock plummet after posting a very […]

Monday Musings: Love’s Debut
It was great to see fans back at Lambeau Field on Saturday night, but I can’t help but think Green Bay had a pretty nice advantage playing in empty stadiums last season. Lambeau is the most iconic stadium in the NFL, but it’s hardly one of the noisiest. And while the Packers are a superb […]

Monday Musings: Preseason Games
The Olympics just ended, and what struck me was all the crazy new sports that have been added in recent years. I used to joke that I’d get a gold medal as soon as walking from the couch to the refrigerator was added to the Summer Games. Well, that might happen yet. Anyway, here are […]

Back in May, I projected how the offensive line would look at the start of training camp. Now, after two weeks of practices and the addition of one new face to the mix, it’s time to project how things will look in 37 days when the Packers open the season in New Orleans: LEFT TACKLE […]
