Should the #Packers trade for Trey Benson?

.@Aceti_Felipe sees him as a low-risk, high-upside player. And if he does land in Green Bay, the move could benefit both the team and player:

"Following some disturbing off-the-field allegations, Jacobs’ status with the #Packers is uncertain. A couple of key numbers shed light on just how significant any absence of his could be," writes .@m_widmeier:

Willi Castro, who was an All-Star in 2024, set a high par for other #MNTwins role players to follow.

But Ryan Kreidler, who traveled a similar path as Castro did to the Twins, could follow in Castro's footsteps and become a cult hero, writes .@tschreier3:

With uncertainty surrounding Josh Jacobs‘ off-field situation, the #Packers may have to pivot and add at a position they thought they had covered.

Who could they add via a free agent signing or trade?

.@m_widmeier takes a look at some options:

The #Vikings are doing things unconventional.

They fired Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, hired Nolan Teasley after the draft, and Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores have significant influence within the organization.

Will all of that work?

Damien Martinez struggled to carve out a role for himself with the Seahawks, who ultimately released him.

Now, Martinez is with the #Packers, and .@Aceti_Felipe sees a reasonable path for him to find a role in Green Bay's backfield:

Yoendrys Gómez owned a 6.23 ERA when the #MNTwins traded for him. He wasn't having the season he had hoped for.

But things have clicked for him in Minnesota.

.@TheodoreTollef1 has more on Gómez, who has become the Twins' winning lottery ticket:

Time and time again, #MNTwins first baseman Josh Bell has turned on the turbo thrusters midway through the season thanks to major in-season changes to his approach and mechanics.

Can he do it one more time?

Once again, the #Timberwolves had a talented roster this season, but it wasn't good enough to land them a trip to the Finals. So, .@CharlieWaltonMN puts a bow on the 2025-26 campaign by dealing out season grades for each player:

The Green Bay Packers didn’t select a wide receiver in the draft, but they did have a surprising addition to the group. It wasn't a signing or trade.

No, it was Bo Melton switching from cornerback to wide receiver.

The #Vikings signed Kyler Murray — a QB with many questions and doubts — before they brought in Nolan Teasley.

What questions might Teasley have about Murray? Could he extend Murray at some point? Would he have the final say?

There has been chatter about the #Packers making a trade for Josh Sweat, which could just be wild speculation.

But regardless, .@m_widmeier has something fans should keep in mind: the Josh Jacobs situation could hold up Green Bay's pursuit of Sweat:

The #MNTwins recently acquired Justin Lawrence, a right-handed reliever with a hard fastball, a sweeper with good action, and a unique arm slot.

.@TheodoreTollef1 has more on the acquisition, and whether Lawrence can be productive in Minnesota:

Ty Langenberg didn't expect to be at Triple-A this early in the season.

But he has stepped up for the St. Paul Saints as the #MNTwins roster continues to deal with injury and turnover.

.@TheodoreTollef1 has more on Langenberg's experience in St. Paul:

The Chargers released Will Dissly in March with an injury designation, just two years after giving him a three-year contract in free agency.

Is it the perfect time for the #Packers to pick up the tight end?

The Backrooms is a kind of supernatural space based on those weird, empty corridors in the deep interior of shopping malls and other retail outlets.

MarShawn Lloyd is in that space with the #Packers:

Maybe Nolan Teasley blew the #Vikings away during the interview process. Still, it's hard not to think about how Teasley may not have gotten his chance if Sam Darnold didn’t sign with the Seahawks and win a Super Bowl, writes .@TheRealCrishad:

T.J. Slaton could be on the move.

"If that scenario develops, the #Packers should strongly consider making a call, particularly because Slaton would fill a role their current defensive line still lacks," writes .@Aceti_Felipe:
