Link to storyGreen Bay Packers impending free-agent OT Rasheed Walker seems unlikely to re-sign with the Packers this offseason because he will probably receive interest from multiple teams looking for a left tackle, in the opinion of PackersWire's Zach Kruse.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent WR Romeo Doubs could be a fit for the Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, but Fowler believes the 'door isn't closed' on Doubs re-signing in Green Bay.
| Footballguys view: It's doubtful that Green Bay would pay the market value for Doubs, which is going to be at least $13-15 million a season, and likely more. They have Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden, so a team that is more needy at wide receiver like Las Vegas or Tennessee will be more willing to pay up for Doubs. Doubs should have a larger role and more value in fantasy leagues if he signs elsewhere. |
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) and the team have already begun talks about a potential contract extension. Prior to suffering a torn ACL on Nov. 2, Kraft was leading the team with 32 receptions, 489 yards and six touchdowns across eight games. 'Obviously, he's a really important part of this football team,' general manager Brian Gutekunst said. 'We've obviously been in contact with him and just let him know how we feel and we'll kind of see how it goes.'
| Footballguys view: Kraft was the #1 tight end in PPR points per game when he went down. Trey McBride passed him in the high pass volume Jacoby Brissett offense, but Kraft would have still been TE2 in 2025 fantasy leagues if he had sustained his first half production pace. It won't cost that much to get him in 2026, but if he isn't the same player when he first returns from his injury, he might not pay off at ADP. We will be tracking his recovery closely to advise you on whether to target the best tight end after the catch in the game this summer. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (thumb, arm) did not need postseason surgery for either the thumb injury he suffered in training camp, or the ailment to his non-throwing arm sustained during the season.

Green Bay Packers OT Zach Tom (knee) suffered a partially torn patellar tendon in Week 15, and he said after the season that he was leaning toward having surgery. However, general manager Brian Gutekunst said he doesn't expect the injury to impact Tom's 2026 season.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers WR Christian Watson said he wants to sign a long-term deal to remain with the team.
| Footballguys view: Watson signed a one-year extension in September 2025, so he's under contract through the 2026 season. Coming off a 2024 knee injury, Watson didn't get on the field for the Packers until late October. He finished the 2025 season with 35 catches for 611 yards with six touchdowns. Fantasy GMs can look at him as a WR3/flex option, and we'll see if the Packers want to work out a long-term deal with him for 2027 and beyond. |
Penn State wide receivers coach Noah Pauley is being hired by the Green Bay Packers as their new wide receivers coach, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Pauley was Christian Watson's position coach at North Dakota State in 2022, and he coached Houston Texans wideouts Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins at Iowa State in 2023 and 2024 while also serving as pass game coordinator in 2024 and 2025. Kyle Shanahan thought enough of Pauley to interview him for the open offensive coordinator position last year. The Packers lost their wide receiver coach Ryan Mahaffey to the Eagles (where he will coach tight ends and coordinate the run game), and quickly replaced him with a highly regarded rising star from the college ranks. |
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledges that the team is likely to lose QB Malik Willis in free agency. He cites that he will likely look for a team where he will be able to compete for a starting job.
| Footballguys view: Everyone under the sun expects Willis to get a starting opportunity in 2026. Where that is nobody knows, but a team like the Steelers could show interest. Willis has a big arm, and his athleticism makes him a threat to run on any play. With his skill set, Willis could easily be a top-10 fantasy quarterback in the right system. |
Green Bay Packers executive vice president/director of football operations Russ Ball received a multiyear contract extension Friday, Jan. 30. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Link to storyFormer Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich is being hired by the Green Bay Packers as their defensive pass game coordinator and secondary coach, according to a source.
Link to storyDenver Broncos defensive pass game coordinator and assistant head coach Jim Leonhard does not have an official interview set with the Green Bay Packers for its defensive coordinator job just yet. However, the hope is both sides can meet after the AFC Championship Game. Leonhard starred with the University of Wisconsin, and as a Packers player.
| Footballguys view: If/when Broncos DC Vance Joseph is hired by the Cardinals to be their head coach, Leonhard is next in line to take over the defense in Denver. Even though he has strong ties to Wisconsin, Leonhard may stay to continue his coaching career under Sean Payton. Leonhard is seen as a future head coach in this league. |

Green Bay Packers CB Trevon Diggs cleared waivers Wednesday, Jan. 21, officially becoming a free agent.

The Green Bay Packers are slated to interview former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon for their defensive coordinator job this week, according to a report on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers CB Trevon Diggs was released on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
| Footballguys view: Diggs was claimed off waivers in late December after the Cowboys released him. But he did not make an impact for the club. While Diggs played 33 defensive snaps in the regular-season finale against Minnesota -- during which the Packers rested their starters -- he was on the field for just one snap in the postseason loss to Chicago. Though he led the league with 11 interceptions in 2021, Diggs has played just 22 games since the 2022 season. We'll be watching to see what the future might hold. |

Free agent QB Kyle McCord (Eagles) signed with the Green Bay Packers on a future/reserve contract on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Link to storyMinnesota Vikings passing game coordinator/DBs coach Daronte Jones has been requested for an interview for the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator opening.
| Footballguys view: Jeff Hafley was the team's coordinator, but he agreed to become the Dolphins' next head coach on Monday. Jones has been the Vikings' defensive backs coach/pass game coordinator since 2023. Jones has already interviewed with the Cowboys and Jets this month. The Giants also requested an interview with him. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, a move up the ladder in Minnesota isn't out of the question as Brian Flores remains in the mix for head coaching jobs, and all of the interest in Jones suggests that there's a good chance he'll be running a defense somewhere next season. |
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has agreed to terms on a contract extension with the Packers. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur signed a multi-year contract extension with the Packers Saturday, Jan. 17, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Some rumors connected the Packers to John Harbaugh, but that got shut down when he signed with the Giants. The Packers tend to be a frugal organization when it comes to spending on their coaching staff, but they ponied up the money to keep LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst after both were going to be in the last year of their contract if the team didn't. |
Green Bay Packers DL Devonte Wyatt (fibula, ankle) said Monday, Jan. 12, that he fractured his fibula and tore ligaments in his ankle on Thanksgiving in Detroit. He hopes to be ready for training camp.
Link to storyFree-agent TE McCallan Castles (Packers), TE Drake Dabney (Packers), RB Damien Martinez (Packers), WR Will Sheppard (Packers), RB Pierre Strong (Packers) and TE Messiah Swinson (Packers) signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Green Bay Packers Monday, Jan. 12.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: The Packers usually require nine months of recovery for players coming off ACL repairs. Kraft will be at 10 months come Week 1 and, as he said, "hopefully bulletproofed by then." At the time of his injury, in the eighth game of the season, Kraft was second on the Packers in receptions with 32, and his 15.3 yards per catch was uncommonly high for a tight end. He led the team in touchdown receptions with six and was TE2 for fantasy purposes through Week 8. We'll be watching his progress closely. |

Green Bay Packers OT Zach Tom (knee) said he will undergo surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon.
| Footballguys view: A six-month recovery timeline from surgery should mean Tom is back for training camp, but he will miss the entire offseason workout program. |
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) said he's targeting Week 1 to be ready to return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. However, he said Week 3 or Week 4 is more realistic.
| Footballguys view: The Packers will eagerly await Parsons' return next season. As Yahoo Sports noted, without the star pass rusher, the team went 0-5 down the stretch. The team's typically excellent defense crumbled without Parsons, giving up at least 30 points in three of its last five games. Over that stretch, the Packers also experienced two fourth-quarter collapses against the rival Bears. We'll monitor Parsons' recovery over the coming months. |

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is expected to have extension talks in the coming days as the 2026 season is the final year on his contract.
| Footballguys view: Packers president Ed Policy said last June, after taking over the team, that he would prefer not to have a lame-duck coach. The Packers have gone 76-40-1 in the regular season under LaFleur and have made the playoffs in six of his seven seasons. But they have not reached the Super Bowl and have not been to a conference championship game since the 2020 season, the second of back-to-back appearances in LaFleur's first two years. We'll follow up as needed. |
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs could depart via free agency in the offseason, in the opinion of ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who "wouldn't be surprised" to see Doubs with a new team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The Packers discussed Doubs in trade talks with other teams last offseason and have yet to extend him. They've used extremely high draft picks on receivers in recent years, including Matthew Golden. Doubs has been a reliable target for Jordan Love, but it doesn't sound like the Packers will engage in a bidding war. |
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed 24 of his 46 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns and added an 11-yard run in a 31-27 loss to the Chicago Bears in the Wild Card playoff game. RB Josh Jacobs rushed 19 times for 55 yards and caught a three-yard pass, and RB Emanuel Wilson was given just one carry for three yards. WR Romeo Doubs finished with eight receptions for a team-high 124 yards and a score, and WR Matthew Golden had four receptions for 84 yards and caught his first career touchdown. WR Jayden Reed had four catches for 43 yards and a score and chipped in a 14-yard run, and WR Christian Watson finished with three grabs for 36 yards and a score. TE Luke Musgrave was limited to one catch for nine yards. LB Edgerrin Cooper had a team-high eight tackles, including six solo stops, and a pass defensed, and S Evan Williams logged seven tackles, including six solo stops.

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (Achilles) practiced in full all week and is no longer listed on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Against the Bears in the Wild Card Round, Golden will be out there at times as a deep threat for Jordan Love. With three full practices this week, he's as close to full strength as he's going to be. Because of his reduced role, proceed with caution when considering him for DFS purposes. |
