The Green Bay Packers have completed their coaching roster with the hiring of Cam Achord as the new special teams coordinator, filling the last open position on the staff. In addition, an ESPN report suggests that the offensive line protecting Jordan Love could see major adjustments through trades in the coming months.
The Packers are reportedly eyeing potential trades for offensive linemen Elgton Jenkins and Ben Powers of the Denver Broncos, both of whom come with hefty cap hits but also strong trade appeal.
At the same time, left tackle Rasheed Walker has reached a point in his career where his play has sparked discussions of deals surpassing the $20 million range.
With few rivals at his position, Walker is well positioned to hit free agency at the right moment and command a substantial salary.
Achord, who earned a Super Bowl LIII ring with the New England Patriots, brings championship experience to the Packers as he replaces Rich Bisaccia. Previously an assistant with the New York Giants, the 39-year-old coach is expected to bring stability to a key unit crucial for postseason success.
Is this the year for Jordan Love and the Packers?
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) waves at fans as he exits the field after 31-24 win over Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025.
The new Packers special teams coordinator started his coaching journey at Southern Miss in 2010 as a graduate assistant and has steadily climbed the ranks over the past 16 years. After Southern Miss, he took on multiple roles at Southwest Mississippi State CC, including special teams coordinator, quarterbacks coach, running backs coach, and tight ends coach.
His career took a major leap when he joined the New England Patriots in 2018 as an assistant special teams coach, eventually being promoted to special teams coordinator from 2020 to 2023.

These coaching changes, along with the possibility of impactful trades, signal a franchise in the midst of a strategic overhaul.
As the 2026 season nears, the Packers will be closely watched for how new coaching approaches and an upgraded offensive line shape their performance.
Could this be the year they turn things around?
