See what resolutions key players and coaches for the Green Bay Packers need for 2026 success.
It happens every year. New Year's Eve rolls around, and you start thinking about what you'd like to do better in the next year. Your favorite team, the Green Bay Packers, does the same. It's just about guaranteed.
Of course they're going to spend some time looking in the mirror and evaluating what they can do better or improve on in 2026.
What we know, for sure, is that the Packers at least have a chance to end this campaign on an epic win streak all the way to Super Bowl LX.
They would have to start by beating the Minnesota Vikings to end the regular season on January 4 and then from there, it comes down to getting hot for a playoff run as the seventh seed.
They've done it before, but can they do it again? Frankly, the odds are against them because they don't have two of the most important factors an NFL team needs to win the Super Bowl.
Still, we can look to 2026 with optimism because there is room for improvement. As such, here are some New Year's resolutions for the Green Bay Packers.
Jordan Love
Jordan Love's resolution is simple. We've seen him play at an MVP level in this past season, but we have not seen him do it consistently. Here's hoping 2026 will be when he finally ascends the NFL quarterback mountain and stays at the time.
Malik Willis
Malik Willis' resolution is to get good with budgeting and finance, because he's about to get paid this offseason. If he ends up playing in Week 18 against the Vikings, enjoy it, because next season he's going to be a starting quarterback somewhere else in the NFL.
Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs needs to decide to stay off his left leg for a few months so that he can come back in 2026 healthier than ever. He's been battling a knee injury since mid-November and though he's shown incredible toughness, at this point, he's not helping the team.
Christian Watson
Stay healthy for a full season. If Christian Watson can do that, he'll ascend and become a no-doubt superstar for the Packers.
Matthew Golden
Golden needs to catch a touchdown pass in 2026. He needs to catch many as a former first-round pick, but let's start with one and take it from there.
Tucker Kraft
Come back in 2026 and be an All-Pro. Tucker Kraft should be fully healthy by the start of the 2026 season, and he was undoubtedly on an All-Pro trajectory before he went down with a torn ACL. Kraft has what it takes to be the best tight end in the NFL, so hopefully, he comes back strong.
Rashan Gary
Rashan Gary must be resolute to resurrect his career on a new team, because he's more than likely going to get cut by the Packers this offseason. He's been a massive dissapointment as the No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Lukas Van Ness
Lukas Van Ness' resolution is not to become Rashan Gary. Van Ness was selected with the No. 13 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he's been getting "bust" labels thrown on him because of his inability to get after the quarterback. He has the physical tools, but can he finally put it all together in 2026?
Micah Parsons
Parsons must have a goal to break the sack record in 2026. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley believes he can do it, so let's see it.
Xavier McKinney
All-Pro safety Xavier McKinney notched eight interceptions in 2024, his first with the Packers. Teams quickly caught on in 2025 and they've largely avoided throwing it McKinney's way. Still, he has gotten a few opportunities that he's dropped this season, so his resolution for 2026 must be working on those hands. He has the talent and the instincts to put up a 10 interception season if he's dialed in.
Matt LaFleur
There's a world in which Matt LaFleur may not even be the head coach of the Packers in 2026. If he finishes the regular season on a four game losing skid and then loses in the wild card round, he very well could get canned. LaFleur is a winning coach, but can he adjust when there's adversity? Can he win big games? He's not shown much of that ability, so if he's back in 2026, those two things must be his focus.
Rich Bisaccia
Rich Bisaccia should graciously except his pink slip from the Packers and resolute to never step foot near a football team again. At 65-years-old, he should simply enjoy retirement and leave fans of the green and gold alone.
