Gutekunst Made Right Call On Jones
The Packers must’ve thought long and hard about using the franchise tag on Aaron Jones, the team’s best running back since Ahman Green. The cost wasn’t unreasonable ($8.6 million), and the offense is clearly better with No. 33 on the field. And while there’s always a chance the former UTEP star could re-sign before the […]

Thursday Thoughts: Ervin To Return?
I find it interesting that franchise quarterbacks Deshaun Watson and to a lesser extent Russell Wilson have spent the past few months complaining about their organizations and contemplating life elsewhere, and yet Aaron Rodgers receives more criticism from the national media when he rolls his eyes after a receiver runs the wrong route. Anyway, here […]

Funchess Agrees To Pay Cut
Wide receiver Devin Funchess, who opted out of last season due to the coronavirus, has agreed to a $750,000 pay cut and will return to the Green Bay Packers in 2021. Funchess hasn’t played a snap in the NFL since fracturing his clavicle on Sept. 8, 2019, while a member of the Colts. Prior to […]

Monday Musings: Tonyan & Analytics
General manager Brian Gutekunst spoke to the press for 15 minutes on Tuesday, and he paid homage to the late Ted Thompson by saying nothing of interest.

There’s no NFL Combine this year due to the coronavirus, and as much as I miss football, I can’t say I’ll miss watching young men in shorts run 40 yards and lift weights. I might be stuck in the house, but I’m still not that desperate for entertainment. Anyway, here are just three of the […]

I didn’t stop thinking about the Packers since last Thursday. The reason I had no musings on Monday was due to a serious glitch with the site. Seventy-nine dollars and a lot of aggravation later, everything is OK again. Anyway, here are just three of the many Packers-related thoughts that ran through my head the […]

Monday Musings: Same Old Problem
I enjoyed my second NFL-free Sunday since early September. Instead of cursing Mike Pettine, it was nice just relaxing on the couch while not giving a shit who won the Virginia/Carolina game. That said, I still couldn’t stop thinking about the Packers. Here are just three of the many thoughts that ran through my head: […]

Thursday Thoughts: Funchess’ Future
The football season officially ended in Tampa on Sunday, but for me, it ended two weeks earlier at Lambeau Field. Since then, I’ve been binge-watching a great show called Halt and Catch Fire on Netflix, and of course, thinking about the Packers. Here are just three of the many thoughts that ran through my head: […]

Monday Musings: Defensive Talent
It was difficult to pay attention to the Super Bowl for a couple of reasons. The first were the two teams playing. Choosing between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is like choosing between a root canal and a colonoscopy. The other reason was that I kept finding myself thinking about the […]
Read MoreAnd Then There Were 53
The Green Bay Packers will have to be down to 53 players by 4 ET on Saturday afternoon. Without being able to attend practices or watch preseason games, some of my projections are based completely off a player’s college tape. This makes the task far more challenging, but what the heck, I’m still going to […]
