We are 100 days away from the 2025 NFL regular season. Without further ado, let's share 100 one-liner thoughts about the Green Bay Packers and what their season will look like.
1. Jordan Love's health is the biggest upgrade the Packers can hope for in 2025.
2. Malik Willis is more valuable on the roster for an extra year than in a trade.
3. Josh Jacobs was a clear upgrade, although prime Aaron Jones was more efficient.
4. Chris Brooks will have a tough time making the 53-man roster.
5. How Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden will fit together is a big question.
6. Luke Musgrave being good again would be exactly what the Packers need.
7. Tucker Kraft is on a path to be an elite tight end.
8. Ideally, Jordan Morgan would play tackle and Anthony Belton would play guard.
9. Best-case scenario: Morgan, Aaron Banks, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan, Zach Tom.
10. It's not a great moment to pay Elgton Jenkins. Let him play a season at center.
11. The Packers had one big investment in FA and it went to an average guard.
12. Other teams should look at which o-linemen the Packers will cut.
13. Pay Zach Tom as soon as possible.
14. The Packers haven't had surplus value with Rashan Gary.
15. It's hard to believe Gary will be something he hasn't. But he's still a good player.
16. Nobody's development is more important than Lukas Van Ness' this year.
17. The Packers think DeMarcus Covington is good. Or that Jason Rebrovich was bad.
18. Green Bay will miss Anthony Campanile. A lot.
19. I still think the Packers will end up moving Collin Oliver to off-ball linebacker.
20. It's a key season for Kenny Clark. If he doesn't play well, he's a cut candidate.
21. It's time for Devonte Wyatt to show some improvement in the run game.
22. If Matthew Golden is good, he'll make this number look cool.
23. Nazir Stackhouse is the UDFA with the highest chance of making the team.
24. Barryn Sorrell was the best value pick for the Packers.
25. Edgerrin Cooper might be the best Packers player a year from now.
26. I don't see what the Packers see on Quay Walker.
27. The Packers want Isaiah Simmons playing special teams, not defense.
28. The Packers are better with Jaire Alexander.
29. Will the Packers have Jaire Alexander even if they keep him, though?
30. If Jaire takes a paycut, they have to keep him.
31. You might not know Kamal Hadden, but he's probably better than Kalen King.
32. The Packers are going with a weak-link approach to the cornerback room.
33. Javon Bullard won't start, but he's a joker who will play a lot.
34. Evan Williams has star potential.
35. Xavier McKinney is a real blue-chip player.
36. The Packers might have the best safety duo in the entire NFL.
37. I'm curious to see what UDFA Johnathan Baldwin can do at both nickel and safety.
38. Carrington Valentine is weirdly underrated. Whenever he plays, he's good.
39. Brandon McManus is an example of how Gutey is good building in the margins.
40. Daniel Whelan is super efficient.
41. Matthew Orzech isn't as much.
42. Christian Watson has a higher chance of getting extended than Romeo Doubs.
43. Therefore, Doubs has a higher chance of getting traded.
44. Taylor Elgersma gives me some Tim Boyle vibes.
45. It'll be the funniest preseason for the Packers in a long time.
46. Malik Heath might make the roster because he's a real X receiver.
47. Drops are not sticky, but Dontayvion Wicks has had problems for too long.
48. Jon-Eric Sullivan won't be in Green Bay much longer.
49. Curious to see who will be the number 2 in the scouting department afterwards.
50. Gutekunst is a great negotiator, and that's why he's waiting on Jaire.
51. His ability to not make a decision until he has to is pretty impressive in today's NFL.
52. Matt LaFleur has done a great job with both a veteran team and a young team.
53. No other coach in the NFC North has done it.
54. Rich Bisaccia is a better leader than ST coordinator. But there's value in that too.
55. Adam Stenavich doesn't talk like a future HC, but he's a helluva coordinator.
56. Jeff Hafley talks like a head coach.
57. There isn't a succession plan if Hafley leaves, but that's nearly impossible.
58. If Hafley leaves a year from now, they will have to look for external options again.
59. Now that Love is developed, it'll be good to have Sean Mannion as his QBs coach.
60. Ben Sirmans is the longest-tenured coach, and you can see why.
61. Ryan Downard received criticism, but it was just the lack of safety talent.
62. The Packers made the right decision investing more in the offense in 2025.
63. That's what happens when you have a good defensive coordinator.
64. It's impossible to understand why they kept Joe Barry for so long.
65. I don't blame the Packers for not wanting to trade for Trey Hendrickson.
66. The combination of draft picks + big contract for an old guy tends to be bad.
67. The Packers had a solid offseason, outside of the Aaron Banks contract.
68. Josh Myers at $3 million including incentives is a great deal for the Jets.
69. TJ Slaton is the biggest offseason loss. But it was just too much money.
70. Savion Williams is more explosive, but he reminds me of Ty Montgomery.
71. You can see they tried to develop Montgomery as a real WR in the 2015 preseason.
72. The Packers' two first games of the season are insanely important.
73. If they lose to DET and WAS, they'd be 0-2 with only six home games left.
74. The first half of the schedule is significantly easier than the second. Win early.
75. A Sunday Night Football between the Packers and Aaron Rodgers would be epic.
76. It's good for the Packers that they won't have international games this year.
77. It's bad for the Packers that the bye week is too early.
78. Mark Murphy was a great leader for the Packers.
79. Murphy's most notable talent was his ability to hire great people.
80. Packers-Lions in Week 1 will be on CBS. That feels wrong.
81. The Packer Way isn't perfect, and that's fine. Accept some criticism.
82. Immediate impact is important.
83. Matthew Golden has a real shot at having immediate impact.
84. Matt LaFleur vs. Ben Johnson will be an amazing rivalry.
85. How important Ben Johnson was for the Lions is a big factor in the NFC North.
86. The 2020 QB class is absurd. The Packers were courageous, but also lucky.
87. It was more courage, though. How many teams would have taken a QB there?
88. If they hadn't taken Love, Aaron Rodgers would still be their quarterback.
89. The cap situation is not great moving forward. Difficult decisions are coming.
90. What they achieve this season will determine how cap aggressive they will be.
91. I don't expect much aggressiveness. They will just make the tough decisions.
92. Gutekunst said he doesn't believe in windows. It's a long-term view, always.
93. The biggest problem for the Packers is the lack of blue-chip talent.
94. Which non-blue-chip players can turn into one for the Packers?
95. On defense, attitude is more important than scheme.
96. The lack of winning attitude of the old scheme killed the players' confidence.
97. The Packers tackled much, much better in 2024. That's big.
98. Matt LaFleur and his staff are excellent at maximizing the offensive line play.
99. The floor of this roster is high.
100. OTAs are tiring sometimes, but there are so many intriguing roster battles.
Roger Goodell hints at potential rule change that could perfectly align with the way the Packers like to build their roster
Green Bay already does that really well
