News » A busy weekend for the Green Bay Packers’ front

office has become even busier. Team president Mark Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst had five head coaching interviews scheduled already between Friday and Sunday Randall Cobb Color Rush Jersey , and the group has reportedly added a sixth name to the interview list.That latest individual reported as an interviewee is Todd Monken, who has spent the past three years as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Monken is meeting with the Packers’ executives on Saturday evening.The team was in Foxboro on Friday to interview Patriots assistants Josh McDaniels and Brian Flores, then flew to New Orleans to meet with Saints coaches Dan Campbell and Pete Carmichael. Apparently they will squeeze Monken in Saturday night before meeting with Titans OC Matt LaFleur on Sunday.Under Monken, the Bucs’ offense racked up big yardage totals, particularly through the air. With Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston at quarterback, Tampa Bay’s passing game finished as the NFL’s top passing yardage unit (5,358 yards) and ended the season second in net yards per attempt. Both quarterbacks had yards per attempt numbers greater than Aaron Rodgers’ 7.5, as Fitzpatrick went for 9.6 YPA in eight games and Winston was at 7.9 in 11 contests.Monken does have head coaching experience, though at the college level rather than in the NFL. Still, with that in his background https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Corey-Linsley-Jersey , it seems reasonable to consider him as a legitimate candidate for the Packers’ job. The Packers locked in the quietly productive Dean Lowry, who would have hit the open market next offseason without a new deal." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Packers sign DL Dean Lowry to extension, reportedly worth $20.325M over 3 yearsTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Dylan Buell/Getty ImagesAfter the Green Bay Packers spent much of the offseason infusing their defense with new blood, they committed to one of their up-and-coming defensive contributors on the eve of training camp. On Monday, the team announced a contract extension for defensive lineman Dean Lowry.Prior to the extension, Lowry would have entered next offseason without a contract. The new extension, which the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Olivia Reiner reports will add three years and $20.325 million ($6 million guaranteed at signing) to Lowry’s existing deal, will prevent the defensive lineman from hitting the open market at the same time the Packers face contract decisions with Mike Daniels, Blake Martinez, and others.Lowry, a former fourth-round pick and part-time starter Jaire Alexander Jersey , hasn’t garnered as much attention as fellow defensive linemen Kenny Clark or Daniels. Still, Lowry has quietly developed into a consistent contributor for a unit often lacking for talent. According to Pro Football Focus, he finished last season third on the team in total pressures (31) and defensive stops (23), both career-high marks.Perhaps as importantly, Lowry has rarely missed time during his three seasons with the Packers. He has sat out a game only once since joining the team -- a healthy scratch during his rookie year. That availability certainly contributed to his new contract extension.Since 2016, Lowry has registered 84 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits and seven sacks. He also returned a fumble recovery 62 yards for a touchdown.
