**Introduction**
Coming off of an 11-6 year, the Packers were a bit deflated going into the offseason given the heartbreaking loss suffered at the hands of the Eagles in the Wild Card game. Not to mention the Packers had a divisional record of 1-5 and every other team in the division seemed to have some promise, potential, or performance to match or outweight our own. Nonetheless, the Packers had an offseason of big highs and mediocre middles. The mediocre middles mostly include the free agency signings of Aaron Banks and Nate Hobbs. Neither of these signings were necessarily as splashy or big name as the prior year’s signings of Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney and some felt that they might have been overpays as well.
However, the big highs were pretty big. Green Bay hosted the 2025 NFL Draft, of which I was in attendance along with many other fans from around the world. It was during this Draft that the Green Bay Packers, in their own home, picked a first round wide receiver for the first time since Javon Walker in 2002. And, of course, that first round wide receiver’s name would be Matthew *Golden*. The excitement and electricity in the draft area was palpable, and there were some high hopes going in. Now, the other big high of the offseason didn’t come until significantly later when the Packers made their blockbuster trade for star defensive player Micah Parsons, who they received from the Cowboys in a trade that sent off beloved Packer Kenny Clark. Despite the loss of Kenny Clark, fans were raving over acquiring Micah Parsons and could not wait to see what he could do.
Suffice it to say, the season itself had some insane ups and downs. Getting off to a good start with a win against the Lions and Commanders while showing off our new defensive star was a good way to get planted, but unfortunately that was followed up with a poor offensive showing with the Browns resulting in a loss and a poor defensive showing against the Cowboys resulting in a tie. The entire season remained at a sense of inconsistency like that, however, what really ended up destroying our chances was the season-ending injury to Micah Parsons in the Week 15 game against the Broncos. After this, the Packers went on a 4 game losing streak to end the season and end up at 9-7-1 and later had an even more heartbreaking playoff loss against the Team That Shall Not Be Named.
The big misfortune for the Green Bay Packers this season were the injuries unfortunately. As aforementioned, Micah Parsons’s injury was a big season-killing but it was also not the first impactful injury. Jayden Reed, wide receiver, was injured in Week 2 and would be out for a good portion of the season. Our star tight end, and one of Jordan Love’s favorite targets, Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 against the Panthers. Starting offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins was injured the following week against the Eagles. Later Devonte Wyatt, perhaps our second most important defensive lineman, was injured in Week 13 against the Lions. Meanwhile, although not an injury in this year, top WR Christian Watson was still recovering from a previous season ACL tear up until Week 8. The injury bug hit the Packers hard, and it hit some of the most impactful players. It should be worth noting too that Jordan Love never had Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Tucker Kraft all active at the same time.
**2025 Offseason (Free Agency, Draft, Trades)**
*Notable Free Agency / Trade Gains*
Aaron Banks - Coming from the San Francisco 49ers and looking to bolster our offensive line, this guard was signed with the Packers for four (4) year contract for $77 million.
Nate Hobbs - Coming from the Las Vegas Raiders and looking to find a decent replacement in the DB room with Jaire Alexander gone, this cornerback was signed with the Packers for four (4) year, $48 million dollar contract.
Micah Parsons - The big moment of the Packers off-season came in the blockbuster trade wherein the Packers made a play for then-Cowboys star defensive player Micah Parsons. Parsons had been holding out from the Cowboys due to a failure in negotiations for his extension and eventually the Cowboys relented and ended up trading him to the Packers in exchange for the Packers 2026 and 2027 first round picks as well as long-time Packer Kenny Clark. The Packers then signed Micah Parsons to a four (4) year, $188 million dollar contract.
Darian Kinnard - A decent play for some offensive line depth as the Packers traded for Darian Kinnard from the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2027 seventh round pick. Despite not being a major starter or anything, Kinnard had been part of three Super Bowl winning teams (2022 Chiefs, 2023 Chiefs, 2024 Eagles) so maybe he can bring that luck with him again.
*Notable Free Agency Losses/Cuts/Trades*
AJ Dillon - The 2020 second round pick didn’t get his extension with the green and gold despite being the Mayor of Door County and having deep ties through his married into family in the area. However, AJ Dillon was the epitome of the “If you want 3 yards, he’ll get you 3 yards and if you want 6 yards, he’ll get you 3 yards” kind of idea - although many times it might have been 2 yards instead. The Packers just couldn’t justify keeping AJ Dillon on especially after having not played the entire 2024 season due to injury. Instead, Dillon went to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Josh Myers - The 2021 second round center out of Ohio State didn’t play well enough to justify a second contract with the Packers, and so he moved on and instead signed with the New York Jets for a one year contract that later had a two year extension in the middle of the 2025 season.
Eric Stokes - Making a bit of a swap for cornerbacks as the Packers took Nate Hobbs and the Raiders signed free-agent Eric Stokes. Stokes, who had shown some promise in his first year, did not fully pan out for the Packers as this former first-round pick made his way to the Raiders and seemed to show signs of improvement in a new environment especially with a new extension for him etched out in this 2026 off-season.
Jaire Alexander - The long-time, 2-time All-Pro cornerback with the beautiful eyes has finally had his time with the Packers come to an end. Jaire was Brian Gutenkunst’s first pick as GM for the Packers and he was a great player for us, when he was healthy that is. Jaire was cut on June 9, 2025 and then spent time with the Baltimore Ravens only to end up as a healthy scratch in multiple games and eventually traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Jaire was later placed on the retired list before the end of the 2025 season.
Kenny Clark - The beloved Packer Kenny Clark who has given us many great memories was traded away to the Dallas Cowboys in the aforementioned Micah Parsons trade. The three-time Pro Bowler was missed, although the consolation prize of one of the best defenders in the league certainly helped a lot.

Week by Week
**Week 1 v. Lions** - Starting off the season with our first Week 1 home game in the entire Matt LaFleur tenure had many excited. Even more exciting, and perhaps frightening, was the prospect of playing the Detroit Lions, our NFC North foes who just went 15-2 in the prior season (although got demolished by the Commanders in the NFC Divisional). There were high hopes going into this game because of the Micah Parsons trade, and those hopes were well-founded considering the Packers ended up with a good 10 points up on the Lions by the end of the first quarter thanks to a Tucker Kraft touchdown and a Brandon McManus kick. Though the Lions scored a couple field goals, the Packers never really let their foot off the gas and never lost the lead and ended up beating the Lions 27-13 with the Lions only touchdown coming in undisputed garbage…
