The future of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line offers more questions than answers. Zach Tom and Rasheed Walker are entering the final year of their rookie contracts and could be in line for massive paydays. If Tom delivers another borderline All-Pro season in 2025, he won’t just earn a raise – he’ll likely reset the market for right tackles. The questions don’t stop on the outside. The Packers also face uncertainty on the interior.

The Green Bay Packers will have to make some challenging decisions about the offensive line in 2026. Zach Tom, Rasheed Walker, and Sean Rhyan are all slated to hit free agency in 2026, and it won’t be easy for Green Bay to keep all of them. The Packers don’t have the most flexible cap situation that year, and given they will likely re-sign key players from their 2022 draft class, they’ll have to make tough calls. Keeping Tom and Walker isn’t impossible.

The Green Bay Packers didn’t add a No. 1 receiver in free agency, so they’re banking on their current group to take a big step forward in 2024. Assuming they’re relying on internal development, which wide receiver has the best shot at emerging as the top target? Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs all saw over 70 targets in 2024. With Christian Watson out until December, those numbers could rise next year. Reed led the team in both targets and catches, but also in drops.

The Green Bay Packers are running out of options in the free-agent pass-rush market. While some players like Azeez Ojulari could step in as a situational rusher, the talent pool is shallow. Green Bay could have traded for Myles Garrett or Maxx Crosby, but those opportunities quickly disappeared. Garrett requested a trade but ultimately signed a contract extension with the Cleveland Browns.

Since Brian Gutekunst became general manager, the Green Bay Packers have used seven of their nine first-round picks on defense. Many fans expect that trend to continue each year – and they’re not alone. On the Friday before the Super Bowl, Kay Adams asked Jordan Love who he thought the Packers would take in the first round of the draft. “It’s a great question. Knowing the Green Bay Packers, I think we’re gonna go defense,” Love said. “We’ll see, maybe we’ll draft, I don’t even know who’s out there.

The Green Bay Packers’ pass rush never quite fired on all cylinders in 2024. There were moments of brilliance, like the eight-sack outing in Tennessee and the seven sacks against the Seattle Seahawks. Overall, though, the group underwhelmed. While many of the same faces will be back in 2025, the Packers can’t simply assume there will be improvement from the current group. Everyone waited patiently for Rashan Gary to show he could be an elite pass rusher in 2024.

It’s no secret that the Green Bay Packers have three pressing needs on their roster. They lack reliable starting-caliber and depth options at cornerback. Their defensive line also needs an upgrade after finishing 26th in pass-rush win rate last season. Green Bay’s wide receiver group also regressed last year. With Christian Watson sidelined until December, the Packers must find a way to replace his speed in the offense.

After a disappointing end to Jordan Love’s second season at the helm of the Green Bay Packers’ offense, Brian Gutekunst and the front office’s to-do list is looking a bit longer than expected. The fanbase and media have supplied their fair share of pressure, but so has Josh Jacobs. Fresh off a standout first season in green and gold, Green Bay’s star running back was open about the team’s need for a true No. 1 receiver and “like three” more key pieces overall.

Jordan Love‘s sophomore season as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback was filled with adversity. He sprained his MCL in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, forcing him to miss the next two games and Matt LaFleur to adapt his playbook. Love returned for an NFC North showdown with the Minnesota Vikings, where Minnesota pressured him 25 times, and he threw three interceptions. In Week 8, he suffered a groin injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars, further limiting his mobility.

If the Green Bay Packers learn anything from last night’s Super Bowl, it’s that building the trenches matters. The Philadelphia Eagles held Patrick Mahomes to a career-worst -19.3 EPA, ending his nine-game postseason streak of positive EPA. They pressured him 26 times and sacked him six (a career high). They also did it all without blitzing once on his 42 dropbacks. Philadelphia’s dominance in the trenches wasn’t just on defense – it was a huge reason Jalen Hurts took home Super Bowl MVP.
