Detroit is just days away from hosting the 2024 NFL draft, but there are plenty of Green Bay area officials and residents already looking ahead to 2025.

The 2025 NFL draft will be held April 24-26 in and around Lambeau Field and Titletown.

After the news broke about Josh Jacobs signing with the Packers, fans and media members thought that meant AJ Dillon was on his way out of town.

After battling injuries and a decline in play and on an expiring contract, it seemed likely the marriage between Dillon and the Packers was over. That was not the case though. Green Bay opted to move on from Aaron Jones and bring Dillon back on a one-year deal. It will now be Jacobs and Dillon who will create the one-two punch for Green Bay, not Jacobs and Jones.

With the induction of the new NFL season, the Green Bay Packers front office was fairly busy when it came to organizing who will be on the field next year.

Out of the players who said farewell to the green and gold, there are six notable names who will see themselves on new teams in the coming season: Aaron Jones, David Bakhtiari, De’Vondre Campbell, Jon Runyan Jr., Darnell Savage and Jonathan Owens.

The first move of Green Bay’s free agency when the new season started was the release of longtime tackle Bakhtiari.

Four notable names find themselves back in Green Bay

While the start of the new NFL season often builds excitement for new faces joining a football team, sometimes retaining players is just as impactful.

For the Green Bay Packers this season, four notable names were retained, including defensive back and kick returner Keisean Nixon. In his two seasons with the Packers, Nixon has proved that he can be a gamechanger, most notably on special teams. In both of the seasons, Nixon led the NFL in kick return yardage, setting himself up with two straight First-Team All-Pro selections.

New faces excited for next chapter in Green Bay

While the Green Bay Packers overperformed last season and finished a game short of the NFC Championship, general manager Brian Gutekunst and his staff deemed it appropriate to make some changes.

Among those changes were the signings of two young players who are expected to make a major impact that may help Green Bay get over the hump. The first signing that Green Bay made when the new NFL season opened was running back Josh Jacobs.

Brian Gutekunst’s last two draft classes have gone exactly according to plan. He found players that were both impactful as rookies and players that look to building blocks for the foreseeable future.

That sets up for the Packers to need a war chest of salary cap space to give second contracts to all of those players as soon as next offseason, but that is a good problem to have.

Packers need help at several positions

Published by admin on Thu, 04/18/2024 - 11:55am

The Green Bay Packers’ offseason has been a roller coaster ride.

The 2023 season ended after the Packers outplayed the San Francisco 49ers for the better part of three and a half quarters.

Unfortunately, the game is four quarters long, and the Packers house of horrors stung them again as they went home with a 24-21 loss.

The future, however, looks bright. Jordan Love played like an MVP candidate down the stretch of the 2023 season, establishing himself as not only the Packers’ quarterback of the future but one of the best players in the sport at his position.

Members of 2023 draft class graded

The 2023 draft class for the Green Bay Packers could go down as one for the ages. If they win a Super Bowl in the next few seasons, it’s likely that many of the foundational pieces for that championship team will have come from this draft class.

Brian Gutekunst entered this draft loaded with ammo at the top end of the draft due to the trade of Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets.

While Rodgers’ move to the Jets was the ending of an era, it was necessary to move to the next stage of Green Bay Packers football.
