  • BLEAV IN PACKERS with Ahman Green Packers Free Agency, 2026 Draft Needs & NFL Offseason Movement
    Mar 9 2026

    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.

  • Packers Offseason Priorities Before the Combine | LaFleur Extension, New DC & Defensive Reset | BLEAV in PACKERS with Ahman Green
    Jan 25 2026

    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.

  • Wild Card Heartbreak at Soldier Field | Bears Rally Past Packers 31–27 & Offseason Outlook | BLEAV in Packers with Ahman Green
    Jan 16 2026

    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. The next step is learning how to finish in January.”
