The Green Bay Packers offense may be changing in exactly the way fans have been waiting for.

On this episode of Packers: DERAILED, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck debate whether Green Bay is quietly copying pieces of the Seahawks and Rams offensive blueprint, what that says about Jordan Love, and why the Packers may already be letting Love push the ball downfield more than people realize.

We start with some overlooked Packers free agent options, including Curtis Samuel, Jadeveon Clowney, Joey Bosa, and Haason Reddick. Could Samuel give Green Bay a versatile depth piece as a WR, RB/H-back type, and kick returner? Could one of the veteran edge rushers make more sense than people realize when compared to the Josh Sweat conversation?

Then we debate whether Lukas Van Ness is ready to become the face of the Packers defense. Jake argues that LVN may have already broken out, but injuries kept fans from fully appreciating it. J.J. looks at Micah Parsons’ absence and asks whether Van Ness is about to step into a much bigger leadership role. If not LVN, is it Xavier McKinney, Edgerrin Cooper, or Zaire Franklin?

A listener call from Daddy Czap sparks a Jordan Love debate: do the Packers need to stop managing him and let him cook? The surprising answer is that Green Bay may already be letting Love push the ball downfield. So, what is really holding the offense back?

We also get into Matthew Golden’s 1,000-yard potential, whether he can become the Packers’ dominant X receiver, the real meaning of “SC,” and whether Aaron Banks will make Packers fans forget about him for the right reason or the wrong one.

Plus, should Brian Gutekunst trade for a running back, or keep sifting through undrafted free agents and cheaper depth options?

The Green Bay Packers have already told us what they think went wrong last season. Now the question is whether they actually fixed enough of it.

On this episode of Packers: DERAILED, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck look at Green Bay’s offseason through the lens of confidence. Were the 2025 Packers frauds, unlucky, or just too fragile once injuries started piling up? And after OTAs and minicamp, how should Packers fans feel about the plan for the 2026 season?

We discuss what the Packers’ offseason moves reveal about their view of the roster, including Micah Parsons, the pass rush, Jonathan Gannon’s new defense, the cornerback room, the offensive line, the wide receiver hierarchy, and whether Matt LaFleur’s assistant coaching staff is good enough for a team with Super Bowl expectations.

Jordan Love is good enough. That is not the concern. The bigger question is whether the Packers have the pass rush depth, cornerback answers, offensive line stability, special teams reliability, and coaching infrastructure to survive the season and make a real playoff run.

Were injuries the real reason last season fell apart, or did the Packers expose deeper problems that still need to be solved?

Packers: DERAILED is hosted by J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck, bringing Green Bay Packers fans honest, in-depth discussion on the biggest Packers storylines.

The Green Bay Packers added tight end Luke Lachey, and we’re breaking down what the move actually means for the roster, the tight end room, and the Packers’ offensive identity heading into training camp.

Then we play Stock Watch: buy or sell on Jager Burton as an immediate contributor, MarShawn Lloyd’s health, Bo Melton becoming a real offensive weapon, concern at kicker, and J. Michael Sturdivant making the Packers’ 53-man roster.

Plus, we get into a real Bo Melton vs. J. Michael Sturdivant debate, why Isaiah Neyor may belong in the conversation, and how the back end of the Packers wide receiver room could shake out.

Luke Musgrave needed a big offseason for the Green Bay Packers, but instead he has been quiet and now he is dealing with an injury. With Tucker Kraft still working back, Drake Dabney also sidelined, and the Packers tight end room suddenly thin, Musgrave’s injury becomes the top story today.

We also break down the growing Packers injury list, including Benjamin St-Juste, Micah Parsons, Zach Tom, Aaron Banks, Devonte Wyatt, Javon Hargrave, Domani Jackson, Skyy Moore, and more. June injuries do not decide the season, but these missed reps matter with Jonathan Gannon installing a new Packers defense.

Plus, MarShawn Lloyd finally has some good injury news after getting through the spring healthy. Could he become the explosive change-of-pace weapon behind Josh Jacobs?

Then we get into the Packers kicker battle between Trey Smack and Lucas Havrisik. Smack has had some shaky moments, Havrisik has made a push, and Green Bay may have a real kicker controversy heading into training camp.

Around the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles signed A.J. Epenesa, which could affect the Josh Sweat market. The Bears were reportedly interested in Epenesa, so could Chicago now become a Josh Sweat threat against the Packers? And in Detroit, Dan Campbell says Brian Branch could be back in December, which matters with the Packers and Lions meeting in Week 18 at Lambeau Field.

Today’s topics:

00:00 - Luke Musgrave injury concern

01:47 - Packers injury list keeps growing

02:04 - Benjamin St-Juste and defensive reps matter

03:17 - MarShawn Lloyd finally healthy?

03:39 - Trey Smack vs. Lucas Havrisik kicker battle

04:46 - Josh Sweat dominoes for Packers and Bears

Tucker Kraft delivered a huge update for the Green Bay Packers, saying he expects to be ready for Week 1 with no snap count. On top of that, the Packers and Kraft are reportedly intent on getting a new contract done before the season begins, which could make him the next major young piece of Green Bay’s offense to get paid.

Also on today’s Daily Cheese, Keisean Nixon may be setting up a contract standoff after previously telling Matt Schneidman he would “most likely” seek a raise before the season. Jason Wilde added that he cannot say with confidence Nixon would play this year without a new deal. Could the Packers really give Nixon more money, or should they call his bluff?

We also break down why Lukas Van Ness suddenly becomes one of the most important players on the Packers defense with Micah Parsons expected to miss time into mid-October. Van Ness may already be better than fans realize, but now Green Bay needs Barryn Sorrell, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Collin Oliver, or Brenton Cox to step up opposite him.

Plus, Josh Jacobs is present at minicamp while his legal situation remains unresolved, and the Packers offensive line is already getting shuffled with Jager Burton taking first-team work and Sean Rhyan settling in at center.

Today’s topics include:

Tucker Kraft’s Week 1 injury update

Tucker Kraft contract extension talks

Keisean Nixon seeking a raise

Lukas Van Ness becoming the Packers’ key edge rusher

Micah Parsons’ early-season absence

Josh Jacobs at Packers minicamp

Jager Burton and the offensive line shuffle

The Green Bay Packers are heading into minicamp, and not every storyline is created equal.

In this episode of Packers: DERAILED, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck break down the Packers minicamp battles that actually matter. Which position groups should fans be watching? Which roster spots are really up for grabs? Which young players need to show something before training camp?

We’ll talk through the key Packers positions to watch, including the offensive line, wide receiver room, tight end depth, pass rush, defensive line, cornerback, backup quarterback, and special teams. We’ll also look at what minicamp can actually tell us, what it probably can’t, and which early depth chart clues might matter once the Packers get to training camp.

If you’re looking for Green Bay Packers minicamp storylines, roster battles, depth chart questions, and players to watch before the 2026 NFL season, this episode is for you.

What type of GM would you be if you ran the Green Bay Packers?

J.J. Lahey and Kristoph Scott dive deep into NFL roster building, draft strategy, analytics, and the hard truth about how general managers hurt their own teams by moving around the draft board, trading up, and reaching for specific players.

Kris brings new analytics showing how an auto-draft approach can beat all 32 NFL general managers, and why the smartest draft strategy is usually not chasing your favorite guy. Instead, the better process is often trading down, collecting more mid-round picks, and building a deeper roster.

For the Packers, that means thinking less about a few impressive “trees” and more about building a full “forest” of talent. How should Brian Gutekunst approach the NFL Draft? Should Green Bay trade down more often? Are Packers fans too focused on splash moves and perfect roster construction?

This episode is all about how we would run the Packers, why depth matters, why draft capital is king, and why the illusion of the perfect NFL roster leads teams into bad decisions.

Christian Watson just got PAID, and the Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver room looks very different now. In today’s Daily Cheese, J.J. Lahey breaks down Watson’s reported extension, where he ranks among NFL receivers in average annual value, how his deal compares to Jayden Reed, and why Matthew Golden’s rookie contract helps make the Packers’ top three WR group work.

We also talk about why Tucker Kraft should still be next in line for a new deal, why Devonte Wyatt’s injury history makes his future more complicated, Ian Rapoport shutting down Josh Sweat trade rumors, Micah Parsons’ injury timeline now pointing toward no sooner than mid-October, and Jordan Love needing just one yard to pass Tobin Rote on the Packers’ all-time passing list.

The Packers are reportedly talking with the Arizona Cardinals about a potential Josh Sweat trade, and Green Bay may need the help more than ever after two blockbuster NFL trades changed the landscape.

Myles Garrett is headed to the Los Angeles Rams, making the Packers’ Thanksgiving Eve matchup at SoFi Stadium one of the biggest tests on the schedule. Meanwhile, A.J. Brown is joining the New England Patriots, giving another Packers opponent a major weapon.

On today’s Daily Cheese, J.J. Lahey breaks down the Josh Sweat trade talks, why the NFC arms race is getting real, what the Garrett and Brown trades mean for Green Bay, and the latest Packers OTA notes, including Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd, Damien Martinez, Micah Parsons, Chris McClellan, and Jager Burton.

New episode of Packers: DERAILED from The Packer Project! J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck are joined by Packers Insider Easton Butler to talk through the latest on the Josh Sweat to Green Bay Packers trade rumors.

Is this actually happening? What is Easton hearing? How real is the Packers’ interest? And how much does Jonathan Gannon matter in all of this?

Josh Sweat has been one of the biggest names connected to Green Bay as the Packers look for another impact pass rusher. The Gannon connection makes this rumor especially interesting, since Sweat previously played under Gannon and could potentially reunite with him in Green Bay’s new defensive system.

We break down the football fit, the trade cost, the Arizona Cardinals’ side of the situation, what the Packers could be thinking, and whether Brian Gutekunst should actually make the move.
