Packers brace for 2026 cap crunch and a new defensive look

At the combine, Gutekunst warned that the Packers are already over the 2026 cap and must create space—likely via releases or pushing some costs into future years—while also planning extensions to stay competitive. He stressed sustainability and chasing a championship without piling up debt. The team is targeting upgrades at center and nose tackle and appears to be aligning with a 3-4/quarters defensive look under Jonathan Gannon, which could reshuffle inside linebacker and cornerback roles for 2027.

Packers See Opening If Lions Part Ways With David Montgomery

The Packers could gain an edge in the NFC North if Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery leaves amid a tight salary cap (the Lions are about $9.9 million over the cap), with potential savings of up to $6 million depending on timing; Montgomery’s departure would change Detroit’s backfield alongside Jahmyr Gibbs, potentially easing Green Bay’s path against its divisional rival.

Packers' special-teams coordinator hunt narrows to veteran retreads

Packers' special-teams coordinator hunt narrows to veteran retreads

With Rich Bisaccia out, Green Bay’s search for a new special-teams coordinator faces a thin market: nine former NFL ST coordinators have already found new roles in 2025, and only two fresh faces exist (Byron Storer and Anthony Levine). Among the available 2024–25 candidates, Matthew Smiley has the strongest five-year DVOA track record (14.7), but he’s been out of the league since 2024; the rest range from middling to underwhelming. The Packers are likely stuck with veteran retreads late in the offseason, rather than finding a standout replacement.
