Packers | Jimmy Graham unlikely to be back in 2020 Thu Jan 23, 01:20 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Jimmy Graham is expected to be released during the offseason, in the opinion of The Green Bay Press-Gazette's Pete Dougherty, who called the prospective move a 'given.'
| Footballguys view: Not a terribly surprising take here. Graham has one year remaining on his deal. Releasing him would free up $8 million in cap room. |

Packers | Bryan Bulaga wants to continue career Mon Jan 20, 07:05 PM
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent OT Bryan Bulaga said he wants to continue his playing career but is not sure if he will return to the Packers this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Since 2010, Bulaga has only played a full 16-game season three times. One of those times was last year and many think 2019 was one of Bulaga's better seasons. If he hits the open market (most likely) Bulaga would get a ton of interest as one of the top tackles out there. |

Link to story Packers | Marcedes Lewis wants to keep playing Mon Jan 20, 04:14 PM
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent TE Marcedes Lewis said he wants to continue his playing career and hopes to re-sign with the Packers this offseason because he felt comfortable with his role in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense.
| Footballguys view: Lewis played 500 snaps for the Packers in 2019, catching just 15 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown. He's no longer the player he used to be but the Packers may consider him on another one-year deal to have veteran depth at the position. |

Packers | Davante Adams will be on move Fri Jan 17, 01:59 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams will line up from different locations in the formation in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, Jan. 19, QB Aaron Rodgers said Friday. 'I'm not sure if they (the 49ers) are gonna move (CB Richard Sherman) around, but we're for sure gonna move Davante around,' Rodgers said.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers could also bracket Adams and force Aaron Rodgers to throw to someone else to beat them. He was a major factor last week in the win over Seattle, especially on third down. |

Packers | Allen Lazard a limited participant Wed Jan 15, 06:01 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Allen Lazard (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 15.
| Footballguys view: Lazard should be fine for the NFC Championship Game. He was banged up against the Seahawks in the Divisional Round but was able to come back and play after missing some time. The Packers won last week with Davante Adams doing almost all the heavy lifting in the passing game. It would be nice is someone else would elevate to help out QB Aaron Rodgers. |
Packers | Jimmy Graham receives day off Wed Jan 15, 05:58 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Jimmy Graham (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 15.
| Footballguys view: Just a veteran day of rest here. Graham was the No.2 receiver for the Packers last week against the Seahawks when he had three catches for 49 yards on four targets. He's likely to have a similar stat line against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. |

Green Bay Packers WR Allen Lazard (ankle), who left the NFC Divisional Round Game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury, was not walking with a limp after the game Sunday, Jan. 12.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Lazard here. He was raw as a receiver when he came into the league as an undrafted free agent from Iowa State. Lazard is still raw but has upside as a receiver. He had 35 catches for 477 yards and three touchdowns. We'll see if he can practice this week leading up to the Packers game against the 49ers in the NFC Championship on Sunday. |
Packers | Green Bay moves on to NFC Championship Sun Jan 12, 10:02 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers finished 16-of-27 for 243 yards and two touchdowns as the team raced out to a 21-3 lead before holding on for a 28-23 victory in Sunday's NFC Divisional Round playoff game. RB Aaron Jones ran for 62 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, while Rodgers added 14 more yards on the ground. WR Davante Adams hauled in eight catches for 160 yards and two touchdowns, while TE Jimmy Graham was the only other Packer with more than one catch, tallying three receptions for 49 yards. LBs Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith each recorded two of Green Bay's five sacks, while LB Blake Martinez led all tacklers with 10 stops (seven solo).
| Footballguys view: Rodgers made a few unreal throws when he needed to and the Packers made a 21-3 hold up. They'll face a San Francisco team that thumped them 37-8 during the regular season. |
