Gutekunst maps a hopeful Packers offseason: Love’s health, depth building, and free-agent flexibility
Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst provided a broad offseason update: Jordan Love finished the season largely healthy and avoided post-season surgery, delivering strong efficiency and a notable playoff outing; Micah Parsons’ arrival paid dividends in leadership and culture; Zach Tom is dealing with a knee injury that could require surgery but is expected to be ready for 2026; Tucker Kraft has an ACL tear with Gutekunst already discussing his future; Jordan Morgan’s versatility helped the reshaped line, while cornerback depth remains a focus after injuries to Hobbs, Melton and Hadden, with Nixon and Valentine stepping up and a Hobbs return possible. Gutekunst also said the Packers have room to be active in free agency as they shape the roster.
