Packers trade Wicks to Eagles, gain cap space and extra draft picks

Green Bay traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for a 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 153) and a 2027 sixth-rounder, plus Wicks’s one-year extension with the Eagles through 2027. The move creates about $2.6 million in salary-cap space (roughly $25 million now) and frees up room to extend players like Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, or Tucker Kraft. Wicks’ 2025 production was modest (30 receptions, 332 yards, 2 TDs), though he had a standout Thanksgiving game against Detroit. With Wicks out, Matthew Golden’s opportunities should rise in Year 2, and Green Bay adds eight picks this year (one each in the second, third, fourth, sixth rounds and two in the fifth and seventh rounds) plus a 2027 sixth-rounder, strengthening Gutekunst’s draft capital while leaving no current first-round pick due to past trades.

Packers eye Day 2 interior O-line options to boost depth and versatility

Green Bay, without a first-round pick, highlights six Day 2 interior offensive-line prospects—Gennings Dunker (Iowa), Chase Bisontis (Texas A&M), Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon), Jake Slaughter (Florida), Connor Lew (Auburn) and Keylan Rutledge (Georgia Tech)—a mix of guard/center talents with size, starting experience, and variability that could add interior depth or even early help depending on development and fit.

LaFleur Signals a Fresh Start in Year 8 with a Sharper Packers Plan

Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur, entering his eighth season and on a contract extension, says he’s rebooting the Packers’ offense as if Year 1 while sharpening focus on closing out games after last year’s late leads. He praised QB Jordan Love, added veterans Javon Hargrave and Zaire Franklin for leadership, and stressed clearer roles and stronger communication. A new special-teams coordinator, Cam Achord, is in place, and LaFleur highlighted Jonathan Gannon’s head-coaching experience as a guide for defense as the team aims for a deeper playoff run in 2026.

Joe Thomas urges Jordan Love to seize control of the Packers' offense

NFL legend Joe Thomas says Jordan Love has proven himself among the league’s best and should demand full control and accountability from Matt LaFleur, arguing Love deserves to be treated like elite quarterbacks. LaFleur’s conservative, run-heavy approach may have limited the offense, but Love showed strong numbers and clutch plays last season, warranting prominent, early-game responsibility.

Packers Part Ways with Nate Hobbs After One Underwhelming Season

Packers Part Ways with Nate Hobbs After One Underwhelming Season

Green Bay released cornerback Nate Hobbs after one season and a four-year, $48 million deal, classed as a post-June 1 cut driven by a $6.25 million roster bonus due Friday and his underwhelming performance. The move creates a large cap hit for 2025—$12.8 million immediately, then $4 million in 2026 and $8 million in 2027—while Hobbs logged 11 games, 358 defensive snaps, a 111.1 passer rating allowed, no interceptions and two pass breakups. The team had moved him from the slot to boundary corner and has added Javon Bullard and Benjamin St-Juste to bolster that depth.

Cowboys land Rashan Gary from Packers to boost pass rush and reshape 2027 picks

Cowboys land Rashan Gary from Packers to boost pass rush and reshape 2027 picks

Dallas Cowboys acquire edge rusher Rashan Gary from Green Bay in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick, trimming Dallas’s 2027 draft picks to six and pushing a $19.5 million cap hit onto 2026, shrinking their cap space. Gary, who has 46.5 sacks in seven seasons and 7.5 sacks in each of the last two years, should bolster Dallas’s pass rush after a 2025 output of 35 sacks. The deal follows last offseason’s trade that sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, with Gary joining Dallas to make an immediate impact on defense.

Packers sign Sean Rhyan to three-year deal, solidifying center role

Green Bay re-signed offensive lineman Sean Rhyan to a three-year, $33 million contract (potentially up to $39 million) with an $11 million signing bonus, after he started at right guard and then mainly at center following Elgton Jenkins’ injury. While not elite, he’s now paid among the league’s top centers, and the deal largely ends Jenkins’ return to Green Bay and reshapes the guard spot as Rhyan develops at center.

Packers land Zaire Franklin in swap that sends Colby Wooden to Colts

The Green Bay Packers are acquiring linebacker Zaire Franklin from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for defensive tackle Colby Wooden, with the deal not finalized until the new league year opens. Franklin, who turns 30 this July, led the NFL with 173 tackles in 2024 and provides immediate inside‑linebacker depth for Green Bay, while Wooden departs as a run defender. The trade also gives the Colts cap relief and prompts further retooling at linebacker and along the defensive line as both teams navigate their rosters and cap situations for 2026.

Malik Willis Poised for $20–$25M AAV in Free Agency

As NFL free agency opens, Malik Willis is projected to land about $20–$25 million per year on a two- to three-year deal, with the potential for higher if multiple teams pursue him. Comparisons to Justin Fields’ recent $40 million/year pact and Sam Darnold’s $33.5 million over three years illustrate the volatility of his market, with interest from teams like the Dolphins and Cardinals acting as a key litmus test for his value.
