Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst reiterated he has "absolutely" no regrets about trading for All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons last August, despite his torn left ACL ending his season after 10 games. Gutekunst acknowledged Parsons may push for an early 2026 return but stressed the team will prioritize the long-term health of their significant investment.

The GM confirmed running back Josh Jacobs will return in 2026, fulfilling the final year of his four-year, $48 million deal. Gutekunst also addressed the surprising departure of special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, noting the team now has the lone vacancy and can afford to be thorough in its search without first-round picks at the combine.

Gutekunst stated the Packers will not resubmit a proposal to ban the tush push this cycle, confirming the league used Green Bay's prior effort. The team's combine process remains unchanged despite picking at No. 52, with meetings already held with top-20 prospects. The core focus remains on Parsons' recovery and integrating a deep draft class without premium selections.
