GREEN BAY – Mark Murphy addressed the media early Tuesday evening following the first of two days of the NFL owners' annual meeting, which is being conducted virtually for the second straight year.
Here are five things learned from the Packers President/CEO.
1. The Packers will have to give...

I often use the Falcons' trade up for Julio Jones as a cautionary tale, not proof of concept.
I certainly believe the end result is more the exception than the rule, but those bold moves do work out on occasion.

I don't get all the...
Titletown Development LLC, the real estate development arm of the Green Bay Packers, today announced plans for Breakthrough, a transportation management and technology provider in Green Bay, to locate its new headquarters, the Breakthrough Collaboration Hub, in Titletown Office in partnership...
Considered a defensive leader in both the huddle and the locker room, Burnett led the team in total tackles twice, in 2014 (with 125) and 2016 (with 92) and had nine career interceptions, plus two more in the playoffs. His lone NFL touchdown came on a fumble recovery against the Lions on...
Jerry from Erie, PA
Morning Mike, sounds like C. Patterson would like to become a Packer? I certainly would do my best to accomplish that if I were the GM of the Pack. I think he would really juice up the return game which the Pack needs badly. How do you feel about a legit shot to obtain C...
Brian from Pensacola, FL
I just read that Leonard Fournette is going to re-sign with the Bucs, meaning that all 22 starting members of the championship team are back. How often has something like this happened in the past? How much would you attribute the Bucs' ability to retain the players...
The Green Bay Packers re-signed CB Kevin King. The transaction was announced Friday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
King, who was originally selected by the Packers in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft (No. 33 overall), has played in 41 games with 36 starts during his first four...
Jones was voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career this past season after registering his second consecutive 1,000-yard season, becoming the first Packers running back to achieve the feat since Eddie Lacy (2013-14).
The production established Jones as the top running back on the...
Jay from Land O' Lakes, FL
Wes, I understand your analogy between Kevin King and Nick Perry, but it just isn't the same. Perry was a high-performing player when in the lineup, but always injured. Conversely, King plays nearly all the time but isn't a high-performing player, just by the...
The Green Bay Packers re-signed RB Aaron Jones. The transaction was announced Friday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Jones, who was originally selected by the Packers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, has played in 54 games with 42 starts over the past four seasons. He has recorded...
He's the Packers' second-leading pass-catcher since 2019, hauling in 96 receptions for 829 yards and five touchdowns in 30 regular-season games. Comparatively, Jones caught just 71 passes over four seasons at UTEP and 35 through his first two seasons in Green Bay.
One strength of Jones' game...
Thomas from Cedar Rapids, IA
I have heard nothing about Lane Taylor. Wouldn't re-signing him be the answer to questions on the O-line? Or is the injury history too much for the team to risk another contract? On another subject, I like the King deal. A "prove-it" deal may be just what both...
I recently purchased a 1950 Packers stock certificate signed in 1959 by John Torinus and Dominic Olejniczak as secretary and president. Who was the secretary of the executive committee in 1959? The stock was issued in 1950. Would there have been any stock issued in 1959?
A few years ago, I...
The Green Bay Packers signed LS Joe Fortunato. The transaction was announced Wednesday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Fortunato (for-chuh-nah-doe), a 6-4, 240-pound, first-year player out of the University of Delaware, was originally signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free...
Burt from Oconto Falls, WI
It might just be another senior moment but it seems to me King was much more effective earlier in his career when he played tight coverage, while last year he was trailing all the time and obviously struggled. He certainly needs to find a way to stay healthy and...
The Brown County Children's Charity Golf Classic and the Green Bay Packers announced their goal of raising $1 million to establish an endowment with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College for at-risk youth living in the local community, beginning with this year's outing scheduled for September...
Vinny from Arlington, VA
Hi Wes, outside of trading down and getting an extra first-rounder in his first draft as GM, has Gutekunst ever traded down in any draft? It seems like he's always been prone to stay at the pick or trade up but rarely if ever trade down. And do you believe it is more...
Dale from Lima, NY
Given the current (well, whatever's current when you read this) situation with free agency and cap limitations -- and assuming the Packers' first pick remains where it is right now -- which position would you target for Green Bay's first-round pick? O-line? D-line? DB...
Rodney from Covington, VA
I was thinking about quarterbacks over the years with Brett and Aaron but we have also had some other good quarterbacks with the magic man and Lynn Dickey coming to mind, but in those years, we didn't have much of a supporting cast. Just goes to show you that there is...
Jeff from Germantown, WI
Re: Rich from Vail, CO and how it takes the new center time to learn how to earn the free play. If Elgton Jenkins steps in at center, expect that to take no time at all. When Corey Linsley got hurt mid-game vs. Bears, Jenkins stepped in to play center and it was only a...
