    Inbox: All they've done is innovate

    Casey from Frisco, TX The Packers selected Linsley with a fifth-round pick, got seven great seasons out of him (on and off the field), and will receive a fourth-round pick (at worst) next year in return. Seems to me that this is the stuff of a consistently winning organization. It could be...

    Packers truly started at the grassroots level in 1919

    Phyliss from Brownstown, MI I was wondering if you have any information on Al Petcka. I heard he was my grandmother's cousin. Like Rosenow, Petcka, 25, was one of the older players on the 1919 team. Although born in Chicago, he had played football at Green Bay East from 1910-12. He also was...

    Inbox: Tramon Williams is in a class of his own

    Sawyer from Simpsonville, SC Thanks for stealing my Bobby Bonilla reference Hod Rod! Now for my question, er, statement. Today (Wed) marks the start of the saddest period for a fan, and April 29 marks the start of the happiest. Any thoughts on how hope dies and then springs to life as the...

    Inbox: Expect to see more of it

    James from Appleton, WI I wouldn't be surprised to see Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon together in the backfield on a quarter of the offensive snaps this season. With Adams and MVS at the edges and Tonyan or Josiah Deguara at tight end, where would you put your safeties as the opposing defensive...

    Packers CB Tramon Williams announces his retirement

    Williams fittingly made the announcement on his 38th birthday through a series of videos posted to his social channels. "The NFL, for me, is done," Williams said. "I feel like I put in my time. I feel like I planted my seeds. Now, I feel like those seeds are going to flourish. I'm ready to go...

    Inbox: They like the stock

    James from Appleton, WI Well, you can't accuse the Packers of Aaron on the side of caution. Be honest, James. On a scale of 1-10, how proud of yourself were you for that one? Ethan from La Crosse, WI Maybe this is better to ask when the free agency and contract negotiation dust has...

    GREEN BAY – The 2021 NFL season is almost here and with it comes the start of unrestricted free agency. Beginning Monday, the Packers and the NFL's other 31 clubs can open negotiations with outside free agents. Teams will then be permitted to enter into formal agreements with players at the...

    Inbox: It's quirky, but just the way it fell

    Joshua from Houston, TX I think I'd take Tauscher over Bulaga. What year of line do you think was your favorite/best? That's a tough choice between the '03 group (Clifton, Wahle, Flanagan, Rivera, Tauscher) and the '14 unit (Bakhtiari, Sitton, Corey Linsley, Lang, Bulaga). Green rushing for...

    Spot duty to starter? Could happen for Jon Runyan

    It's too early to tell how it's all going to shake out. The uncertainty with the Packers' offensive line stems from All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari's rehab from an ACL tear and All-Pro center Corey Linsley's pending free agency. If Linsley leaves and Bakhtiari isn't ready by Week 1 – which...

    Inbox: It's a potentially dynamic group

    Brandon from Pleasant Prairie, WI A reader from yesterday's Inbox brought up Aaron Rodgers on "Jeopardy!" That got me wondering, Rodgers is the host, and you and Wes are the contestants on a football-related "Jeopardy!" show. Who wins? If there's a "Madden" category, then Wes. Avida from...

    Inbox: It's an impressive list

    Kenton from Rochester, MN Since this is the slow season, I have a purely speculative question: If the salary cap suddenly disappeared and the NFL became more like MLB and teams could spend whatever they wanted on players, do you think that would help or hurt the Packers organization? I know...

    Bart Starr resisted giving up his authority over personnel matters

    Gordon from Jupiter, FL Several years ago, I read that in 1978 GM/HC Bart Starr went to the board of directors and said he wished to give up his dual position and continue to serve as head coach only. He recommended that the team hire Ron Wolf, then employed by Tampa Bay, as the new general...

    Packers awarded three compensatory draft picks

    GREEN BAY – The Packers were awarded three compensatory picks Wednesday for the upcoming NFL Draft. Green Bay will receive extra picks at the end of the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds as a result of the team's net losses in free agency from the prior year. The pick at the end of the fourth...

    Inbox: So, what now?

    Jeff from Vandenberg AFB, CA Mike, I saw Lavonte David signed a two-year, $25M deal with the Bucs with three voidable years so that his cap hit in 2021 is only $3.5M. Can you help me better understand this concept? Would his cap hit next year then be $21.5M if the last three years are voided...

    Challenge for Packers' offense in 2021: 'Do it again'

    Running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, along with center Corey Linsley, are all pending unrestricted free agents, with tight end Robert Tonyan a restricted free agent. It's not likely the Packers would lose them all, but almost certain they'll lose someone (or more). Plus, four-time...

    Inbox: It sure looks like he's already there

    Mike from Madison, WI I am reading articles as Chicago being a home to either Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson. Who do you think would be the best fit and who would cause the most problems for the Packers? Personally, I believe Watson would be the more difficult to cover, because of his...
