Overlooked Packers Defender May Be Key to Pass-Rushing Woes

2 weeks ago | dairylandexpress.com | Brian Sampson

Green Bay Packers fans have spent plenty of time this offseason dissecting the team's pass rush—or more accurately, the lack of one. Yet somehow, Kingsley Enagbare has been left out of nearly every conversation. The numbers tell the story. Yes, Green Bay technically ranked eighth in the NFL with 45 sacks last season. But much of that production was hollow. Precisely a third of those sacks came in just two games—against the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks.

With Jaire Alexander officially out the door, everyone in the Green Bay Packers' cornerback room is being asked to step up. And one overlooked name may be quietly climbing the ladder. Keisean Nixon, who openly declared himself Green Bay’s CB1 after last season, will now be fully thrust into that role. When he arrived in 2022, Nixon was mostly known for his return skills, having barely seen the field defensively.
Packers Embarrassingly Fumbled the Jaire Alexander Situation

After nearly six months of tension, the standoff between the Green Bay Packers and Jaire Alexander came to a close on Monday when the team reportedly released the veteran cornerback. And make no mistake—Green Bay dropped the ball on this one. The writing was on the wall early in the offseason. The Packers were growing tired of Alexander’s inconsistencies, both in availability and attitude. Over the past four years, he missed 32 out of a possible 76 regular-season games.

The Green Bay Packers don’t have any glaring holes on their roster heading into the summer, but that doesn’t mean they’re all set. With training camp on the horizon, adding a proven veteran or two at key positions could pay dividends—especially if the injury bug makes an unwelcome appearance. The good news is Green Bay is in decent financial shape. According to Spotrac, the Packers have the 13th-most cap space in the NFL.
Packers Could Get Bargain with FA Signing to Begin June

It’s been nearly a month since the Carolina Panthers released Jadeveon Clowney, and the former No. 1 pick is still sitting on the free agent shelf. If the Green Bay Packers want to boost their pass rush without breaking the bank, now’s the time to make a move. Clowney was released on May 8 in a cap-saving decision by Carolina—less than a year after signing him to a two-year deal. The Panthers turned the page quickly, using two Day 2 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft to restock the edge position.

They’ll return for mandatory minicamp from June 10–12, before taking a break until training camp kicks off later this summer.

It’s no exaggeration to say the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season rides on the right arm of Jordan Love. The franchise quarterback is no longer in the “potential” phase—it’s time to produce. As Organized Team Activities (OTAs) kick off this week, all eyes in Titletown will be locked on Love. When the Packers traded away Aaron Rodgers in the 2023 offseason, they didn’t just turn the page—they handed Jordan Love the pen and told him to write the next chapter.
Packers Rookie Has Already Gone Under the Radar in 1st Month with Green Bay

1 month ago | dairylandexpress.com | Brian Sampson

Matthew Golden is getting the spotlight, but he's not the only rookie ready to make a big impact in the Packers' offense. The Green Bay Packers used their first three picks in the 2025 NFL Draft to bolster the offense. And while first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden has stolen the spotlight, third-round pick Savion Williams is quietly shaping up to be the team’s early sleeper. When Golden’s name was called, team president Mark Murphy turned it into a moment.
