NFL DRAFT 2026 | LINEBACKERS: Will Edgerrin Cooper elevate in a new system — and with a new veteran runningmate in Zaire Franklin? GREEN BAY — Edgerrin Cooper has had a few brief conversations with two of the people who you could argue will have the greatest impact on the Green Bay Packers

The latest of our @channel3000.com #NFLDraft previews is on the #Packers linebackers, and the hope that the game-changing version of Edgerrin Cooper they saw in Chicago — before an ankle injury, and before the defense allowed 25 4th-quarter points — is back.

NFL DRAFT 2026 | EDGE RUSHERS: With Micah Parsons tilting the field — but likely not on the field to open the season — Packers are living on the edge GREEN BAY — Brian Gutekunst was polite about his answer, but he was also very clear.

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview series has reached the #Packers edge rushers, who have a game-changing, field-tilting star in Micah Parsons, whom they need on the field — and need others to capitalize on the attention he draws. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

NFL DRAFT 2026 | INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMEN: Knowing ‘the good Lord only made so many big guys,’ Packers know they need a few GREEN BAY — With Jonathan Gannon taking over as defensive coordinator and shifting the Green Bay Packers from a 4-3 to a 3-4 base scheme, last month’s signing of veteran

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview series flips to defense with the #Packers interior defensive line group, where the late, great Ted Thompson always warned, 'The good Lord only made so many big guys.' www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

NFL DRAFT 2026 | OFFENSIVE LINE: While Jordan Morgan finally gets his left tackle shot, Packers’ thin offensive line needs a depth charge GREEN BAY — From the moment he arrived at Lambeau Field in the days following the 2024 NFL Draft, Jordan Morgan wanted to make one thing perfectly clear: He wanted

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview is up to the offensive line, where the #Packers are counting on 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan to be the player they drafted him to be — at the position he's been wanting to play since the day he arrived. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

NFL DRAFT 2026 | TIGHT ENDS: As Tucker Kraft works his way back, Packers know they need depth behind their emerging superstar GREEN BAY — Even Brian Gutekunst found himself wondering what might’ve been.

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview rolls on with the tight ends, where a healthy Tucker Kraft is an undeniable game-changer — but there are also significant questions about the depth behind him. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

NFL DRAFT 2026 | WIDE RECEIVERS: Once overpopulated at the position, the Packers head into draft in a very different place at receiver GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers have gone from having wide receivers coming out of their ears to needing the two they drafted a year ago to step up

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview series continues with the wide receivers, where Romeo Doubs' departure and getting two picks for Dontayvion Wicks made sense — and also altered the makeup of the #Packers' receiver room. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

NFL DRAFT 2026 | RUNNING BACKS: Following Josh Jacobs injury-affected down season, Packers need a backfield depth charge GREEN BAY — Josh Jacobs ran for exactly 400 fewer yards last year than he’d gained in his first season with the Green Bay Packers, and that dip in productivity

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview series continues at running back, where Josh Jacobs admirably played through the pain last season but the #Packers must find a true No. 2 who can share the workload and fill in when the bruising Jacobs is ailing. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

NFL DRAFT 2026 | QUARTERBACKS: With an uncertain backup plan, Packers need Jordan Love healthy — and at the top of his game — in 2026 GREEN BAY — As it turned out, the Green Bay Packers’ quarterbacking stars were not, in fact, aligned last season.

Our annual @channel3000.com #NFLDraft preview series kicks off today at quarterback, where the #Packers were hoping Jordan Love would, like Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers before him, win a Super Bowl at age 27. Now, they need him at his best — and healthiest.

What does the Packers’ trade of Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles mean? A lot , actually GREEN BAY — With one move Friday afternoon, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst added a pair of much-needed draft picks to his roster-building arsenal, created greater opportunities for

On @channel3000.com ~ Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks had some big-time moments in his three years in Green Bay, and the #Packers may very well end up missing him at some point in 2026. But dealing him for two draft picks on Friday made sense, for lots of reasons. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

A ‘Year 1’ rerun? Packers’ Matt LaFleur’s plans to ‘strip everything down’ on offense sounds a lot like Mike McCarthy’s 2018 plan GREEN BAY — The last time a Green Bay Packers head coach said what Matt LaFleur said earlier this week at the annual NFL Meetings, it did not end well

On @channel3000.com ~ If Matt LaFleur's 'Year 1 all over again' comments at the #NFLMeetings about the #Packers offense sounded familiar to you, you're not alone. At the 2018 #NFLMeetings, Mike McCarthy said essentially the same thing. It went ... poorly.

On @channel3000.com ~ Mark Murphy basically told #Packers shareholders 10 years ago that the team would never sell the naming rights to iconic Lambeau Field. Ed Policy doesn't want that to happen, either, and says it won't — or 'certainly no time soon.' www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

On @channel3000.com ~ Ed Policy heard the noise. How could he not? But when it came to his first major decision as the #Packers president/CEO, Policy was resolute: He wanted Matt LaFleur to remain the head coach, despite the team's playoff loss to the #Bears. www.channel3000.com/news/top-sto...

Amid signs of player discord, Matt LaFleur says he, Packers coaches must do more to get ‘absolutely critical’ buy-in from team GREEN BAY — If the Green Bay Packers are going to be more than the No. 7 and final seed in the NFC playoffs next season, if they are going

On @channel3000.com ~ If the first step to solving a problem is recognizing there is one, #Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did just that on Monday, acknowledging that "some players were upset about roles last year" and it "took a toll on our football team."

Roll with the changes: Jordan Love eager for Packers’ offseason despite free-agent departures, QB room comings and goings GREEN BAY — Jordan Love understands that his life as he knows it is going to be very different — in the best possible way — in a few weeks.

On @channel3000.com ~ While Jordan Love's biggest life change — becoming a #GirlDad with the arrival of his and wife Ronika's first child next month — is still to come, the #Packers QB has seen a lot of changes in his work life this offseason, too:

‘Very disappointed’ with last year’s effort, Packers quarterback Jordan Love ready to bring the heat on ceremonial first pitch at Brewers opener APPLETON — Jordan Love knows what his last ceremonial first pitch looked like — part eephus pitch, part unlimited arc beer-league softball toss — and hasn’t forgotten the grief he

On @channel3000.com ~ Jordan Love will be taking the mound at American Family Field soon to throw out his ceremonial first pitch before the #Brewers opener. And the #Packers QB promises that this time, it won't look like an unlimited arc, slo-pitch softball toss.

Packers to honor Bob Harlan, franchise-preserving visionary president, with Lambeau façade ceremony GREEN BAY — The emotion was getting the best of him. Not that Bob Harlan was in any way surprised by that.

On @channel3000.com ~ When the #Packers christened Robert E. Harlan plaza at @LambeauField back in 2003, Bob Harlan got a little emotional. If only the late team president/CEO could see what the organization will do to honor him during the 2026 season.

Ex-Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker’s free agent wait finally ends — with one-year prove-it deal with Panthers GREEN BAY — As Rasheed Walker cleaned out his Lambeau Field locker and headed for the door a couple days after the Green Bay Packers’ season-ending playoff loss to the

On @channel3000.com ~ With 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan waiting in the wings, the #Packers were never re-signing LT Rasheed Walker, but they were hoping he'd get a lucrative deal elsewhere. That didn't happen, and here's why it matters:

Veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave lands with Packers — filling a dire need, and reuniting him with Jonathan Gannon GREEN BAY — Of all the free-agent agreements and signings that happened across the NFL during the league’s so-called “legal tampering” period and after the new league year officially began

On @channel3000.com ~ Of all the #NFL's free-agent signings and agreements, the #Packers adding Javon Hargrave might've been the biggest no-brainer of them all. Why? Green Bay's obvious need, and his production the last time he played for Jonathan Gannon:

Once seemingly on his way out, Sean Rhyan stays with Packers on three-year, $33 million extension on eve of free agency GREEN BAY — Midway through last season, Sean Rhyan figured his days with the Green Bay Packers were numbered.

On @channel3000.com ~ “I don’t really know [what’s next], just because of how everything has been,” #Packers C Sean Rhyan said as he cleaned out his locker. “I could dwell on it and wish for whatever, but everything will work itself out.”

Today, it did:

Rashan Gary bids farewell — or does he? — to Packers as team mulls future 2019 first-round draft pick GREEN BAY — At last week’s NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst sent mixed messages about the future of veteran defensive end Rashan Gary.
