Hosted by Ahman Green — Green Bay Packers All-Time Leading Rusher NFL free agency is here, the 2026 NFL Draft is getting closer, and the Packers are already making moves that tell us a lot about how they view the roster. In this episode, Ahman Green breaks down what Green Bay has done so far, starting with the re-signing of Sean Rhyan to a three-year deal and what that means for the future of the offensive line. With Rhyan now locked in at center, the Packers can shift their focus toward other key needs across the roster. Ahman then walks through Green Bay’s top priorities in free agency and the draft, including: Cornerback Edge rusher depth Interior defensive line Wide receiver depth Offensive line versatility The conversation also expands beyond Green Bay, with Ahman discussing how major league-wide moves — including the pass-rusher market, rising receiver contracts, running back movement, and aggressive front offices around the NFL — could impact the Packers’ strategy. The episode also includes a look at the 2026 quarterback class, not because Green Bay needs a quarterback right now, but because quarterback movement at the top of the board always affects which prospects fall to teams drafting below. Ahman explains why understanding the whole class matters if Green Bay wants to maximize value on draft day. This is a full offseason roadmap for where the Packers stand, what they still need, and how they can build a stronger roster heading into 2026. ️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – 03:30 | Intro & why this offseason matters 03:30 – 05:00 | Sean Rhyan deal and what it means 05:00 – 07:00 | Packers’ biggest free agency needs 07:00 – 09:00 | Draft positions Green Bay should prioritize 09:00 – 11:00 | NFL-wide free agency movement and what it means 11:00 – 15:00 | 2026 QB class and how it impacts the draft board 15:00 – 17:40 | Final Packers offseason strategy KEY EPISODE NOTES Sean Rhyan re-signs for 3 years, $33M Packers appear set at center heading into 2026 Biggest Green Bay needs: CB, edge depth, DL, WR depth Packers should prioritize premium defensive positions early in draft NFL pass-rusher market remains aggressive Wide receiver market could affect Packers’ internal decisions QB movement at top of draft could help Green Bay on the board Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

️ Hosted by Ahman Green — Green Bay Packers All-Time Leading Rusher With the season over, the Packers wasted no time setting the direction of the franchise before the NFL Combine. In this episode, Ahman Green walks through the critical checklist items Green Bay needed to address early in the offseason — and why acting quickly gives the Packers a competitive edge. Ahman starts with Matt LaFleur’s multiyear contract extension, explaining why the move reinforces stability, trust, and accountability within the organization. He details how LaFleur’s leadership through quarterback transitions and roster turnover has earned him the opportunity to continue shaping the Packers’ identity. The conversation then turns to the biggest structural change of the offseason: the departure of Jeff Hafley and the hiring of Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator. Ahman breaks down why Gannon’s experience as both a coordinator and a head coach appealed to LaFleur, and how Gannon’s previous success with the Eagles aligns with a Packers defense built around Micah Parsons and Xavier McKinney. Ahman also explains why timing mattered — how moving quickly allowed Green Bay to secure Gannon before other teams could, even if it meant missing out on interviewing Jim Leonhard. The episode closes with a look at what still needs to be finalized before the Combine, including possible additional staff changes, front-office extensions, and defensive identity alignment heading into Indianapolis. ️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – 01:30 | Intro & why the pre-Combine window matters 01:30 – 05:00 | Matt LaFleur contract extension breakdown 05:00 – 10:00 | Defensive coordinator change: Hafley out, Gannon in 10:00 – 12:00 | What Jonathan Gannon brings & why it fits the roster 12:00 – 14:30 | Timing, missed interviews & beating the market 14:30 – 16:48 | What still must be done before the Combine KEY EPISODE NOTES Matt LaFleur signs multiyear extension Jonathan Gannon hired as defensive coordinator Fourth defensive coordinator in LaFleur’s tenure Defense built around Micah Parsons & Xavier McKinney Packers moved quickly to secure Gannon amid league-wide interest Additional staff changes still possible Front office extensions expected Combine focus now aligned with defensive vision Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hosted by Ahman Green — Green Bay Packers All-Time Leading Rusher The Packers’ season came to a painful end at Soldier Field, falling 31–27 to the Bears in the NFC Wild Card round after surrendering a 25–6 fourth-quarter run. Green Bay controlled the game early, jumping out to a 21–3 halftime lead behind four touchdown passes from Jordan Love, but couldn’t close the door as Chicago stormed back with its seventh fourth-quarter comeback of the season. Ahman breaks down how the Bears adjusted offensively, how Caleb Williams settled in after early struggles, and how missed opportunities — including a missed extra point and a missed field goal — loomed large late. He explains why the absence of Micah Parsons changed the defensive ceiling and how the Packers struggled to generate pressure when it mattered most. The episode closes with a broader view of the season, including: Why Jordan Love’s growth is still a positive takeaway How injuries derailed momentum down the stretch What the Packers must address in the offseason Why Matt LaFleur’s contract extension makes sense given the team’s sustained competitiveness and successful transition at quarterback “This loss hurts — especially against the Bears — but it doesn’t erase the progress this team has made.

With both teams knowing each other inside and out, Ahman dives into the tape, tendencies, and playoff-specific factors that will decide who advances. Full Episode Description Ahman Green previews Saturday night’s playoff clash at Soldier Field, where the Packers and Bears renew the NFL’s longest-running rivalry under the postseason spotlight. The two teams split the regular-season series, and familiarity shapes every part of this game — from coverage tendencies to late-game decision-making. On offense, Ahman explains how Jordan Love and the Packers can attack Chicago’s defense by staying patient against zone looks while capitalizing on man coverage opportunities, particularly with Christian Watson stretching the field. He discusses why Green Bay must be efficient early, protect the football, and finish drives instead of settling for field goals. When the Bears have the ball, Ahman breaks down Chicago’s run-first identity and how it sets up Caleb Williams for play-action throws. With Green Bay adjusting defensively after losing Micah Parsons, Ahman highlights how quarterback mobility, underneath targets, and tempo control could favor Chicago if the Packers don’t generate pressure. The episode also explores: Why turnovers and fourth-quarter execution are the defining factors How third-down efficiency and red-zone performance will decide the outcome Which players are positioned to swing the game in a single moment How playoff football compresses margins and rewards discipline over flash Ahman closes with his keys to the game, matchup-based betting insights, and what Green Bay must do to survive a cold, physical night in Chicago. ️ Timestamps 00:00 – 01:30 | Intro & Wild Card atmosphere 01:30 – 05:30 | Rivalry context & what the tape reveals 05:30 – 10:00 | Packers offense vs Bears defense 10:00 – 14:30 | Bears offense vs Packers defense 14:30 – 18:00 | Turnovers, pace & fourth-quarter edge 18:00 – 20:00 | Ahman’s keys to the game & prediction Key Episode Notes Packers and Bears meet for the third time this season Packers look to exploit man coverage with Watson and deep routes Bears aim to control tempo with the run and play-action Turnover differential heavily favors Chicago Red-zone execution is critical for Green Bay Fourth-quarter composure likely determines the winner Connect with Ahman Green X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/AhmanGreen30 Instagram: https://instagram.com/ahmangreen30 Twitch: https://twitch.tv/AhmanGreenTV Business Inquiries: [email protected] Listen to BLEAV in Packers BLEAV Network: https://bleav.com/shows/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

️ Hosted by Ahman Green — Green Bay Packers All-Time Leading Rusher The Packers close the regular season on the road against a familiar rival as they take on the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. Green Bay is locked into the final NFC wild-card spot for the third straight year, while Minnesota enters eliminated from playoff contention but motivated by pride, development, and milestones. Ahman Green explains how this game becomes a delicate balancing act for the Packers — staying sharp without risking further injuries — while also acknowledging how dangerous a nothing-to-lose Vikings team can be. With Clayton Tune set to start at quarterback for Green Bay and J.J. McCarthy returning for Minnesota, the matchup shifts from star power to execution, discipline, and evaluation. A major storyline is Justin Jefferson, who needs just 53 yards to reach 1,000 receiving yards and make NFL history with six straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin a career. Ahman discusses how Jefferson’s leadership and professionalism have stood out during a frustrating season and why Green Bay’s injury-depleted secondary will be tested. On the Packers’ side, Ahman dives into life without Micah Parsons, the growing concerns at cornerback, and the possibility of unconventional personnel usage as Green Bay navigates injuries. The episode closes with Ahman’s keys to the game, what success looks like beyond the scoreboard, and how this matchup sets the tone for the postseason. ️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – 01:30 | Intro & season-ending rivalry context 01:30 – 07:00 | Vikings season recap & Jefferson storyline 07:00 – 09:30 | Packers playoff position & rest vs rust debate 09:30 – 11:30 | Quarterback situations: Tune vs McCarthy 11:30 – 13:30 | Packers secondary injuries & defensive concerns 13:30 – 15:00 | Keys to the game & what “winning” really means 15:00 – 16:20 | Final thoughts & playoff mindset Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

️ Hosted by Ahman Green — Green Bay Packers All-Time Leading Rusher The Packers ran into a historic performance on Saturday night at Lambeau Field, as Ravens running back Derrick Henry delivered one of the greatest rushing games ever seen in Green Bay. Henry rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns, powering Baltimore to a 41–24 win and keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Despite strong play from backup QB Malik Willis, the Packers were unable to match Baltimore’s physicality.
