Sports Info Solutions’ first 2026 draft big board highlights which defensive tackles could fit nose-tackle roles, noting Green Bay’s need to replace Kenny Clark and potentially switch to a 3-4.

Packers Bet on Youth and Cap Smarts in 2026 Free Agency

Green Bay’s free-agent strategy emphasizes youth and cap efficiency, targeting players under 29 consistent with a three-decade-long roster-building ethos. With cap space and rising contracts making average starters expensive, the article notes Packers’ past four-percent-of-cap signings were all 28 or younger and that top free agents are increasingly older as the market broadens. It provides a position-by-position list of top young-ish players from a consensus board, suggesting any real Packers splash would likely come from this under-29 pool rather than older veterans, though many top names may remain with their current teams or be re-signed.

2026 NFL Free Agents: A Fresh Consensus Board Maps the Market

A consensus top-100 free-agent list for 2026 is created by averaging 14 outlets’ rankings, highlighting names like Daniel Jones, Malik Willis, Aaron Rodgers, and George Pickens.

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.

LaFleur Brothers Reach NFL Head Coach Milestone

Matt LaFleur says it’s surreal that both he and his younger brother Mike are NFL head coaches now that Mike has been hired by the Arizona Cardinals, joining Matt’s Packers tenure and making the LaFleurs the third brother duo to lead NFL teams. Mike previously coached as the Rams’ offensive coordinator, and their rise is celebrated as part of a growing football family connected to mentors like Robert Saleh, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan and Dan Quinn. The Cardinals and Packers won’t meet in the 2026 regular season, but the brothers’ dual ascent marks a notable milestone in NFL coaching.
