The Green Bay Packers will open up the 2026 season September 13th in Minnesota, and they hope to finish their season February 14th, 2027 in Los Angeles in Super Bowl LXI.

With the first-ever NFL Game on Thanksgiving Eve, a Christmas Day showdown in Chicago, and seven total standalone games, the Packers' schedule is certainly unique. But overall, it looks pretty manageable on paper ... for whatever that's worth in the month of May.

Vikings beat reporter Andrew Krammer joins the show to talk about the Minnesota Vikings, as the Packers will open up the season against Kyler Murray & Co. in Week One.

The NFL will release the full 2026 regular-season schedule Thursday, but we already know who the Green Bay Packers will play and where they'll play. (With one exception...)

Marques breaks down the Packers' 2026 opponents, and all the discussion about "strength-of-schedule," which doesn't really matter during the offseason.

Andy Herman of the Pack-a-Day Podcast joins the show to talk about the decision to release Brandon McManus, what it means for rookie kicker Trey Smack, as well as the key questions the Packers face on the offensive line.

The Green Bay Packers traded two draft picks to move up and select Florida kicker Trey Smack in the 2026 NFL Draft. Less than two weeks later, the team released Brandon McManus.

Which is interesting, considering the Packers preached the importance of "competition," after making the move for Smack, and suddenly, it looks less like a competition, and more like Smack's job. (with all due respect to Lucas Havrisik.)

So, WHAT'S GOING ON?!

The Green Bay Packers have shown how good they can be on the offensive side of the ball, but head coach Matt LaFleur said they planned to strip it down like it's Year 1, and essentially, start from scratch this offseason.

So, how good can this offense be in 2026?

Marques discusses the biggest factors, highlighted by quarterback Jordan Love, left tackle Jordan Morgan and wide receivers Christian Watson, Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed. Oh, and the return of tight end Tucker Kraft.

Sixteen years after Tyrod Taylor last took a snap at Virginia Tech, he signed with the Packers to back up Jordan Love, where he'll team up with fellow Va. Tech alum Kyron Drones, as the team looks to replace Malik Willis at QB2.

When Taylor finished his time at Virginia Tech in 2010, Drones was in elementary school. Now, two former Hokie quarterbacks bring a new look to the quarterback room in Green Bay, along with Kyle McCord.

Andy Herman of the Pack-a-Day Podcast joins the show to discuss Taylor, as well as recap the press conferences of new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon and new special teams coordinator Cam Achord.

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon spoke for the first time since he was hired to replace Jeff Hafley this offseason. His introductory press conference was interesting, albeit perhaps not as exciting as Hafley's.

Meanwhile, the Packers have a new backup quarterback, as they signed veteran Tyrod Taylor to back up Jordan Love, replacing Desmond Ridder.

The Green Bay Packers kicked off Rookie Minicamp, giving the media their first eyes-on experience with the "Class of 2026."

Marques caught up with the Packers' top pick -- cornerback Brandon Cisse -- who discussed his affinity for Charles Woodson, why he picked jersey No. 2, as well as his extensive film preparation as a self-described "football junkie." Also, we heard from fourth-round pick (steal?) Dani Dennis-Sutton.

Oh, and Chase Claypool was at practice on a tryout basis. (Yes, seriously)

The Green Bay Packers lost wide receivers Romeo Doubs (Patriots) and Dontayvion Wicks (Eagles) this offseason, seemingly opening the door for Matthew Golden to spread his wings in his second NFL season.

The Packers extended Jayden Reed's contract, and plan to do the same with Christian Watson, cementing the trio of Reed, Golden and Watson as their top three wideouts. Marques expects big thigns for Golden in 2026. (or, as big as you can expect from a wide receiver in Matt LaFleur's offense, which tends to "share the wealth.")

Meanwhile, we recap the 2026 NFL Draft in the NFC North with Michal Dwojak on the Bears to discuss Dillon Thieneman, as well as Nolan Bianchi discussing the Lions' picks of Blake Miller and Derrick Moore, and Andrew Krammer on the Vikings beefing up the defensive line and stealing a player on the Packers' radar(?!)
