The Green Bay Packers are the friend in every friend group who wants to spend an hour researching the best taco places before ordering dinner. They’re relentless planners, always thinking about the next move. They treat roster building like Marvel treats moviemaking.

This indefatigable prioritization of the future often leads to criticism of their handling of the present. See: Love, Jordan.
