With the Green Bay Packers resigning Letroy Guion to a new three year deal, the writing may be on the wall for BJ Raji. Guion is receiving just $500,000 of guaranteed money, but that contract can expand up to $11.25 million if he keeps his nose clean and continues playing at a high level. Raji was…
2016 Green Bay Packers Draft: Running Backs
The Green Bay Packers struggled to find consistent production from the running back position in 2015. With Eddie Lacy struggling with his conditioning and an impending free agent at the end of the 2016 season, and James Starks a free agent and on the wrong side of 30, the Packers may look to invest a…
Predicting Packers Offseason Narratives
With next Wednesday marking the beginning of 2016 NFL Free Agency, the conversation surrounding the Packers, along with the 31 other teams in the league, will be primarily focused on 2016 roster construction.

In truth, it was probably somewhere in the middle. The usual image of an NFL GM is a…
Hayward’s Future Hinges on Packers Faith in Rollins
Casey Hayward is set to become an unrestricted free agent as soon as the new league year begins on Mar. 9 and whether or not he should continue to be a member of the Green Bay Packers secondary is debatable. The four-year veteran and 62nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft has played out…
