Micah Parsons: “I Was Really About To” Join Eagles

By | at February 22, 2026 9:31 am

As the relationship between the Cowboys and Micah Parsons publicly unraveled last offseason, the Eagles reportedly put forth the best trade package for the star edge rusher. Dallas naturally did not want to deal Parsons to a division rival and ultimately shipped him to the Packers (that swap included a poison-pill provision to guard against the possibility of Green Bay sending Parsons to Philadelphia down the road).

Nonetheless, Parsons himself recently stated he very nearly became an Eagle. On a recent episode of his The Edge With Micah Parsons podcast, the five-time Pro Bowler covered a number of topics with Eagles WR A.J. Brown and Panthers QB Bryce Young, including the fact that he and Brown were almost teammates in 2025.

“To be honest with you, bro, it was very close,” Parsons said (via Geoff Mosher of Philly Voice). “Eagles – before [trade deadline acquisition] Jaelan Phillips, before all of them, it was me.”

Of course, any team that acquired Parsons was going to need to authorize a record-setting extension for him, and the Packers did just that with a four-year, $188MM deal. If he were to sign a new contract with the Eagles, though, Parsons wanted to play alongside Philadelphia defensive tackle Jalen Carter. The Cowboys were known to be targeting DT reinforcements in any Parsons swap – they landed Kenny Clark from Green Bay – and it sounds as if Dallas wanted Carter to be part of a would-be trade with the Eagles.

“I was really about to come [to Philadelphia], but there was one person that I had to play with that if he was gone I did not want to be there, and that was Jalen Carter,” Parsons added. “[The Cowboys] wanted a d-tackle and they wanted to trade me plus some picks. I’m coming to play next to JC. Sorry, Cowboys fans … It really almost happened.”

Prior reporting indicated the Eagles’ offer was comprised of two first-round picks, a third-rounder, a fifth-rounder, and other unspecified assets. Assuming Parsons’ remarks are accurate, Carter was either one of the “unspecified assets,” or Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was not entirely forthright when he said he did not make a counter to Philadelphia’s proposal.

Parsons turned in a stellar first season in Green Bay, compiling 12.5 sacks in just 14 games en route to a third First-Team All-Pro selection. Unfortunately, a Week 15 ACL tear ended his campaign prematurely and kept him sidelined for the Packers’ lone playoff contest. He hopes to return no later than Week 3 of the 2026 slate.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ defense was among the league’s worst in 2025, which undermined a strong effort from the Dallas offense. While Parsons’ presence will improve any front seven, the Eagles finished the 2025 regular season 13th in sacks and fifth in points allowed. It was their offense that proved to be more problematic.

Browns Could Pursue Packers LT Rasheed Walker In Free Agency

By | at February 21, 2026 3:18 pm

Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker is the top pending free agent at one of the game’s most valuable positions. Between his track record as a capable starter and his age (26), Walker is going to cash in sometime soon. As Walker nears a trip to the open market in March, Cleveland is a potential suitor to keep an eye on, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

The Packers have until March 3 to place the projected $27.76MM franchise tag on Walker, whom they stole in the seventh round of the 2022 draft. It doesn’t look as if general manager Brian Gutekunst will go that route, though.

“I don’t feel like Gutey is motivated enough to tag Rasheed,” a league source told Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.

Gutekunst drafted Walker, but retaining him has appeared unlikely for at least a few months. The GM said last week that the Packers are prepared to give 2024 first-rounder Jordan Morgan a shot at left tackle. He’ll play next season for a much cheaper price than Walker, a starter since he took over for longtime Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari early in 2023.

Walker has racked up 48 starts in the past three years, including 15 last season. Pro Football Focus ranked Walker an underwhelming 52nd among 89 qualifying tackles in 2025. However, as PFR’s Adam La Rose noted in his Packers Offseason Outlook, starting left tackles don’t often reach free agency. When they do, they get paid. The demand outweighs the supply, which bodes well for Walker.

Flashing back to last March, former Steelers left tackle Dan Moore Jr. joined the Titans on a four-year, $82MM deal with $50MM in guarantees. Walker could fare similarly on his next contract. The cap is set to rise by over $20MM in 2026, putting Walker in an even stronger position than Moore was in that regard.

As for a potential Browns-Walker union, it makes sense on paper. Their offensive line was an injury-ravaged unit in 2025, and now it’s facing an overwhelming number of offseason departures. Pending free agent guard Wyatt Teller bid goodbye to Cleveland on Instagram earlier this week. Guard Joel Bitonio, also a pending free agent, is mulling retirement. Center Ethan Pocic and the tackle tandem of Cam Robinson and Jack Conklin are also without contracts for 2026.

Adding to the Browns’ issues up front, tackle Dawand Jones has suffered season-ending injuries in all three years of his career. Jones began 2025 as the Browns’ starter on the left side, but a Week 3 LCL tear and a hamstring avulsion forced him out for the rest of the year. He is under contract for another season, but if the Browns still see Jones as a starter, they could bring in Walker and use the former at right tackle. Jones has garnered more experience on the right side than the left during his injury-plagued career.

Packers Line Up Special Teams Coordinator Interviews

By | at February 19, 2026 10:36 pm

The Packers are moving quickly to replace special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia after he suddenly stepped down this week. Their first three candidates are Cameron Achord, Tom McMahon, and Kyle Wilber, per Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber.

Achord, 39, has been the Giants’ assistant special teams coach since 2024. He was retained by new head coach John Harbaugh after New York’s solid special teams effort in 2025, which featured top-10 finishes in yards per kickoff return and average starting field position. Achord previously worked for the Patriots, winning a Super Bowl in his first year as an assistant special teams coach and receiving a promotion to coordinator in 2020. He left New England when Bill Belichick‘s tenure ended in 2023 and quickly signed on with Brian Daboll in New York.

McMahon, 56, was fired by the Raiders during the 2025 season, his fourth as the team’s special teams coordinator. He was originally hired by Josh McDaniels in 2022 and survived the team’s head coaching change to Antonio Pierce in 2024. McMahon was retained by Pete Carroll in 2025, but a disastrous year from Las Vegas’ special teams units led to his firing in November. McMahon previously held STC jobs with the Rams (2009-2011), Chiefs (2012), Colts (2013-2017), and Broncos (2018-2021).

Wilber, 36, is entering his second year as the Saints’ assistant special teams coach. He was a linebacker and special teams ace for the Cowboys and the Raiders for a decade before he moved into coaching. His first job as the Packers’ special teams quality control coach (2023-2024) may give him a leg up in the race for the open job in Green Bay.

Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia Stepping Down

By | at February 17, 2026 11:09 pm

The Packers coaching staff is dealing with another notable departure. After losing defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to Miami last month, assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is suddenly stepping down, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

“While we are disappointed to lose a person and coach as valuable as Rich, we respect his decision to step down from the Packers,” coach Matt LaFleur said in a statement. “Rich was a tremendous resource to me and our entire coaching staff who had a profound impact on our players and our culture throughout the building. We can’t thank him enough for his contributions to our team over the last four years. We wish Rich, his wife, Jeanne, and the rest of their family all the best moving forward.”

Bisaccia has been coaching consistently since the 1980s, and he’s held an NFL job since the 2002 campaign. He’s served as a special teams coordinator in stops with the Buccaneers, Chargers, Cowboys, and Raiders prior to his job in Green Bay.

He got his first and only crack at a head coaching gig with the Raiders in 2021 following Jon Gruden‘s resignation. The interim HC ended up guiding his team to a 7-5 record and a playoff appearance, the team’s second postseason nod since their Super Bowl loss in 2002. Despite the team’s success, the organization ended up opting for Josh McDaniels as their new head coach for 2022, leading to Bisaccia seeking a job elsewhere.

The veteran coach caught on as the special teams coordinator in Green Bay, where he’s spent the past four seasons. He earned the additional title of assistant head coach in 2023, and he inked an extension with the organization last offseason that was intended to keep him in Green Bay through the 2026 campaign.

The Packers special teams unit struggled mightily this past season. While the team got a standout showing from punter Daniel Whelan, the Packers managed a league-low 5.6 yards per punt return. The unit also had a handful of miscues that ultimately led to losses for Green Bay. This included a Week 3 loss to the Browns where Brandon McManus‘s potential game-tying field goal attempt was blocked. A week later, the Packers tied with the Cowboys in a game that saw their opponent return an extra point for a score.

Later, in Week 16 against the Bears, Romeo Doubs failed to secure a crucial onside kick recovery in an eventual overtime loss. These ST woes culminated in the team’s playoff loss to Chicago. The Packers blew an 18-point lead in a game that saw McManus miss a pair of field goals and an extra point.

While Bisaccia is stepping away from his job in Green Bay, it doesn’t sound like the coach is calling it a career. In his statement, Bisaccia seemed to indicate that he’ll take some time away before considering another gig.

“Coaching for the Green Bay Packers was truly an honor, and I will always be grateful for my time here,” he said in a statement. “I look forward to whatever is next for me and my family, and I wish nothing but the best for everyone in the organization.”

Now, LaFleur will have to go back to the drawing board to figure out the team’s special teams weakness. The Packers may have to look outside the organization for a solution, as assistant special teams coach Byron Storer already left Green Bay for a promotion in Cleveland.

NFC Staff Updates: Vikings, Seahawks, Commanders, Falcons, Packers

By | at February 17, 2026 11:09 pm

The Vikings lost multiple position coaches this offseason, with tight ends coach Brian Angelichio taking the Steelers’ offensive coordinator job while offensive line coach Chris Kuper accepting the same position in Philadelphia. Last week, the team finalized their replacements for those coaches, per a team announcement.

Angelichio will be succeeded by Ryan Cordell, who spent the last four years as the Vikings’ game management coordinator/passing game specialist. He will continue in his new game management role as he transitions to his new job working with Minnesota’s tight ends. That group is currently led by T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver with second-year players Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims set to return in 2026.

To fill Kuper’s role, the Vikings promoted assistant offensive line coach Keith Carter, which in turn opened up his position. Longtime college coach Derek Warehime will fill that vacancy after three years at Coastal Carolina (OL coach/run game coordinator) and three at New Mexico (offensive coordinator/tight ends coach).

Here’s a look at other staff changes from around the NFC:

  • Seahawks offensive line coach John Benton will be staying in Seattle in 2026, according to FOX13’s Curtis Crabtree. Benton interviewed for the team’s offensive coordinator job after Klint Kubiak‘s departure, but was passed over in favor of Brian Fleury. Coaches in Benton’s position may sometimes search for greener pastures with a team that offers a better chance at a future OC gig, but it is hard to argue with his decision to remain with the Super Bowl champs.
  • LSU safeties coach Jake Olsen was reportedly set to take a job on the Commanders’ defensive staff under new DC Daronte Jones, he has reversed course. Lane Kiffin and the Tigers convinced Olsen to stay in Baton Rouge, per CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
  • Wisconsin wide receivers coach Jordan Reid is expected to take the Falcons’ assistant quarterback job, according to Zenitz. Reid previously served as the WRs coach at Western Michigan; before that, he had internships with the Panthers and the Vikings.
  • The Packers are also drawing from the college ranks. Former Auburn general manager and LSU director of player personnel Will Redmond is set to join Green Bay’s front office in a personnel role (via Zenitz).

Offseason Outlook: Green Bay Packers

By | at February 15, 2026 11:00 pm

During Matt LaFleur’s first five years in place as head coach of the Packers, the team totaled a record of 25-8 in games played in December and January. Things have changed quickly over the past two regular and postseasons, with Green Bay going just 3-9 over that same stretch since 2024.

A second straight promising year ending on a very low note – in particular, a five-game losing streak including a collapse in the wild-card round – invited questions about a change on the sidelines. Instead, LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst will remain in place for 2026 (and likely beyond). Reaching the playoffs will once again be the target for Green Bay next year. To boost the team’s chances of avoiding another one-and-done campaign, reinforcements in at least a few key areas will be sought.

Coaching/front office moves

LaFleur has guided the Packers to a winning record and a playoff berth all but once during his seven-year tenure. Having overseen a successful transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love at the quarterback position, LaFleur’s offense has largely remained a strong unit since his arrival. On the other hand, the past five years have produced only one playoff victory.

Packers’ Jordan Morgan Likely To See Time At LT In 2026

By | at February 12, 2026 10:39 am

When Jordan Morgan entered the league two years ago, he faced uncertainty regarding his best position at the NFL level. The former first-rounder could be in line to handle left tackle duties next season.

The Packers have used Rasheed Walker on the blindside for each of the past three years. His rookie contract is set to expire in March, however, and a free agent departure is likely. That would leave Green Bay in need of a new left tackle, and trying Morgan at the position in 2026 is an option the team will explore.

“Certainly he’s going to get a lot of opportunity,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said (via Matt Schneidman The Athletic) of Morgan’s chances to replace Walker at LT. “I thought he played really well in the preseason at that spot — probably did enough to win that job — but then we had some injuries and [we] had to do what was best for the team. 

“So we’ll kind of see how it goes, but I think he’s excited, probably, to hunker down in one spot, as well, but that’s not always the case in the National Football League.”

Morgan played left tackle during his college career. The Arizona product has seen limited time on the blindside during the preseason in his NFL career; he also started at left tackle in Week 18 of the 2025 campaign when the Packers rested several starters. Moving from guard to tackle on a full-time basis will be a challenge if it winds up taking place. Morgan has seen some time at four OL positions to date, but his largest workloads have come at right and left guard.

2025 free agent signing Aaron Banks is in line to continue operating at the left guard spot next season. Anthony Belton – who also has tackle experience dating back to his college career – won the right guard gig during his rookie season. Experimenting with Belton on the blindside could be an option, but keeping him at RG would allow for Morgan to settle into a full-time role at one spot.

A decision on the fifth-year option for Morgan, 24, will need to be made next spring. Green Bay’s direction on that front will be heavily influenced by his level of play in 2026. Next season could see him take on a full-time role at the left tackle spot. Failure to do so would leave Morgan’s Green Bay future uncertain and require the team to explore other options on the blindside.

Packers Open To Re-Signing Romeo Doubs

By | at February 11, 2026 12:44 pm

Multiple mid-December reports suggested the Packers were unlikely to keep pending free agent wide receiver Romeo Doubs. That may end up being the case, but a breakup isn’t a given, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The two sides are at least expected to engage in dialogue before free agency starts on March 11, Fowler adds.

For his part, Doubs appears willing to continue his career in Green Bay, which chose him in the fourth round of the 2022 draft. The 25-year-old told Kay Adams in late January he “would love to be a Green Bay Packer,” but he also acknowledged it’s a business.

If they’re unable to retain Doubs, the Packers would still have Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden and Savion Williams leading their receiver depth chart. Golden and Williams didn’t do much as rookies, but in selecting the former in the first round and the latter in the third, the Packers invested heavily in the pair at last year’s draft.

While Golden and Williams are under control for a few years, Watson, Reed and tight end Tucker Kraft are all slated to reach free agency after next season. An extension for Kraft is already on general manager Brian Gutekunst‘s radar, and there could be added motivation to lock up Watson and/or Reed if Doubs exits Wisconsin in March.

This year’s free agent crop will be light on high-end receivers, especially with the Cowboys all but guaranteed to place the franchise tag on George Pickens. The Colts could also tag deep threat Alec Pierce. If those two don’t get to the market, it would be a positive development for Doubs and the rest of an unsigned class that could also include Jauan Jennings, Rashid Shaheed and Wan’Dale Robinson, among others.

Nobody would confuse Doubs with a star wideout, but after a solid showing on his rookie contract, he should secure a nice raise on a multiyear deal. A starter in 50 of 59 career appearances, the 6-foot-2, 204-pounder has averaged approximately 15 games, 51 catches, 80 targets, 606 yards and five touchdowns per season. Doubs started in 15 of 16 games in 2025 and caught 55 of 85 targets for a career-high 724 yards and six scores.

Packers Promote Luke Getsy To Quarterbacks Coach

By | at February 11, 2026 11:32 am

After a year as the Packers’ quarterbacks coach, Sean Mannion left to become the Eagles’ offensive coordinator on Jan. 29. Almost two weeks later, the Packers will promote senior offensive assistant Luke Getsy to replace Mannion, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Briefly an NFL quarterback, Getsy spent 2007-13 coaching in college before joining Green Bay in a quality control role. The 41-year-old is now in his third stint with the Packers, with whom he has worked under head coaches Mike McCarthy and Matt LaFleur.

The Packers previously employed Getsy from 2014-17, including two seasons as a wide receivers coach, and 2019-21 (QBs coach/passing-game coordinator). LaFleur rehired Getsy as a defensive consultant in 2024, which came after an in-season firing as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator.

Getsy, a two-time OC in the NFL, held the job with the Bears from 2022-23. His time in Las Vegas lasted just nine games.

Aaron Rodgers was the starter in Getsy’s first stint as the Packers’ QBs coach, but he also spent two years molding 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love. Since Love took over for a traded Rodgers in 2023, he has established himself as the Packers’ answer under center.

Last season was the third straight successful campaign for the 27-year-old Love, who completed 66.3% of passes with 3,381 yards (7.7 YPA), 23 touchdowns and six interceptions in 15 games. Love also finished third in QBR (72.7) and sixth in traditional passer rating (101.2).

Getsy will coach Love again in 2026, but the Packers will make other moves at the position this offseason. Backup Malik Willis is heading to free agency with plenty of momentum after a successful two-year run behind Love. Willis is a lock to sign elsewhere for a much richer deal and a chance to start, which will force the Packers to find a new No. 2 QB.
