The good news is that the Packers will roll over about $10 million in cap space from 2025 into 2026 as it stands today, which should give the team about $14.5 million to work with next year. Here’s the bad news. That $14.5 million will need to account for the following:

Resting key players in the regular season finale could give a few youngsters a chance to play big roles for the Packers against the Vikings.

Through Week 3, Rashan Gary led the NFL with 4.5 sacks. When he sacked Aaron Rodgers twice at Pittsburgh, he was up to 7.5 sacks in seven game

Baltimore ran for a whopping 307 yards at Lambeau Field, with 216 of them and four touchdowns coming from Derrick Henry.

The injured reserve list for the Packers is going to add two more names. Jordon Riley and Kamal Hadden both have season-ending injuries.

The Packers are reuniting with defensive lineman Jonathan Ford, whom the team claimed off waivers from the Bears on Monday.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis led all players at his position in overall grade from Pro Football Focus during Week 17 of the 2025 season. Willis earned a career-best 95.6 overall grade from PFF, including an elite 92.7 passing grade and an 87.4 running grade.

However, the 27-year-old cornerback hasn't played close to that level in 2025. When targeted, Diggs is giving up a perfect passer rating of 158.3. For reference, the Packers' starting cornerbacks, Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, have a 104.6 and 109 passer rating, respectively.
