Welcome to June 1
Tomorrow, both Nate Hobbs & Brandon McManus' contracts will come off the Packers' books - creating another $9.3m of cap space for 2026.
Cap space should go from $17.0m --> $26.3m
@minakimes@BenjaminSolak Jordan Love could be a truly awesome fantasy QB if the Packers ever actually called pass plays.
Packers ranked 24th in neutral game script pass rate in 2025. They were 31st in 2024.
Last season, Jordan Love ranked…
2nd in EPA/db
3rd in QBR overall
2nd in QBR on 3rd down
3rd in DVOA
Very clearly a top ten QB. Discussed with @BenjaminSolak on the pod.
Highest EPA per dropback among NFL QBs in the playoffs since 2021, per TruMedia:
🎯 Jordan Love, GB (+0.25)
🎯 Patrick Mahomes, KC (+0.21)
🎯 Matthew Stafford, LAR (+0.21)
🎯 Josh Allen, BUF (+0.19)
🎯 Jared Goff, DET (+0.18)
🎯 Jayden Daniels, WAS (+0.16)
🎯 Brock Purdy, SF (+0.11)
🎯 Lamar Jackson, BAL (+0.06)
🎯 Dak Prescott, DAL (+0.06)
🎯 Jalen Hurts, PHI (+0.05)
*Minimum 100 pass attempts
The Packers signed Vanderbilt DB Marlon Jones, per source. Jones missed the 2024 Season while he battled Stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, officially beating it and declaring cancer free on October 15th, 2025.
The Packers' Xavier McKinney is a fun watch.
Here is a 3-Buzz (Safety in Hook) concept by Green Bay vs. a Dagger by the Bears.
McKinney initially is the Strong Hook but becomes the 3-Up player once the formation moves to a 3x1.
Watch how he reacts with vision & sniffs out the Dig.

Jonathan Gannon asked what appealed to him about the Packers DC job and in his answer, says: “Jordan Love. That was a huge thing to me. I think he’s in the top tier.”
