If you read my previous post today, you know what I think the chances are of the Green Bay Packers actually making a move of consequence this offseason. Still, it would be remiss of me not to mention the possibility of the Buffalo Bills’ Marshawn Lynch joining the Packers. Bob McGinn did just that over [...]
Packers Could Get Outside Linebacker After All

Hey, Green Bay Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson has done nothing to wow us thus far this offseason. The Packers have been silent in free agency. They haven’t made a peep on the trade market. The team’s draft made us scratch our head several times. So, with the Packers seemingly only a player or two [...]

I’m joking, of course. Any idiot who’s grading 2010 draft classes today is, well, just that. An idiot. Every team in the NFL is better today than they were at this time last week. Every team in the NFL has added new players to their roster. Grading a team’s draft class before they’ve even played [...]

The Green Bay Packers signed several undrafted free agents following the seven-round NFL Draft. Those players are as follows. Miami cornerback Sam Shields Shields is a speed demon. He ran the 40 in 4.3 seconds at Miami’s pro day. However, he’s extremely raw as a cornerback, having played only one season at the position at [...]
Packers Finally Add Running Back In Sixth Round

The Green Bay Packers were reportedly on the lookout for a running back in the NFL Draft and in the sixth round they finally added one, selecting Buffalo’s James Starks with pick No. 193. In doing so, the Packers passed up more highly-rated prospects throughout the draft like Georgia Tech’s Jonathan Dwyer, who went at [...]
Packers Add Tight End, Guard In The Fifth Round

The Green Bay Packers defied logic again in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Packers’ GM Ted Thompson chose Penn State tight end Andrew Quarless with the team’s first fifth-round pick (No. 154), even though the team is solid, one-though-three, on the tight end depth chart with Jermichael Finley, Donald Lee and Spencer Havner. [...]
Favre Still Hurting, But Vikings Think He’ll Play Two More Years

Will he or won’t he? It has pretty much been a foregone conclusion around these parts that Lord Brett Favre would return for the 2010 season to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. But not so fast, apparently. Steve Mariucci, Favre’s quarterbacks coach during his early years with the Green Bay Packers and close friend, [...]
Packers Trade Up For Georgia Tech Safety In Third Round

The Green Bay Packers did something sensible in the third round of the NFL Draft and traded up to pick No. 71 to nab Georgia Tech safety Morgan Burnett. The pick was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles for the Packers’ third (No. 86) and fourth-round (No. 122) picks. The Packers next pick is in round [...]
Packers Select Someone You’ve Never Heard of In Second Round

With names like Golden Tate, Charles Brown and Ricky Sapp, as well as several solid cornerbacks on the board when the Green Bay Packers selected with the No. 56 overall pick, the team selected defensive tackle Mike Neal from Purdue. That’s right, Mike Neal from Purdue – a defensive tackle. So what you’re telling me [...]

It’s no secret that we have no love for ESPN and their so-called brand of “journalism” here at Total Packers. That is, with the exception of Erin Andrews, Rachel Nichols and Hannah Storm, who are some hot fucking broads whose lips may or may not be moving. And yeah, I know Hannah Storm is in [...]

As we sit around and wait for the second part of the NFL Draft to begin tonight, we thought it would be a good time to take a more in-depth look at the Green Bay Packers’ first-round selection, Bryan Bulaga. As I mentioned yesterday, Bulaga isn’t the elite-level tackle prospect that Trent Williams, who went [...]

With all the talk of trading up or trading down, the Green Bay Packers got lucky in the end with Iowa left tackle Bryan Bulaga falling to the team as they stood pat at No. 23. There was word earlier in the day that Packers’ GM Ted Thompson was considering trading up to grab Bulaga, [...]
Remember the Name Rodger Saffold

As the NFL Draft approaches, one name that appears to be rising up draft boards is that of Indiana left tackle Rodger Saffold. Saffold, who was a four-year starter at Indiana, seems to be benefiting from what many predict will be a run on tackles in the first round. Saffold is 6-4, 316 and Peter [...]

The NFL Draft is finally here, or at least it will be tonight. We’ve previously discussed the possibility of the Green Bay Packers moving up in the first round and looked at the players the team might target. The National Football Post’s Michael Lombardi says the specific player the Packers have their eye on is [...]

You know, some of us used to be “real” journalists here at Total Packers, so we thought we’d drag those skills out of the closet and do an actual interview for once. We were lucky enough to track down National Football Post president – and former Green Bay Packers’ vice president – Andrew Brandt. Brandt [...]

You know how much we love Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end and dumbass redneck Jared Allen, so we really couldn’t resist bringing you the latest news from the Sax Machine.

The full NFL schedule will be released later today, but ESPN has already reported one significant development – week 17 will feature only divisional games. As we’ve discussed before, the move will hopefully eliminate some meaningless late-season contests where teams play their B team, something which takes away from both the integrity of the playoffs [...]

One thing we haven’t discussed in relation to this week’s NFL Draft is the possibility of the Green Bay Packers trading up. The reason we haven’t discussed it is because Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson has only traded up twice in his five years on the job. He did, of course, move up last year [...]
