While the big news of Wednesday morning revolves around the Green Bay Packers’ finalized coaching staff, there are still plenty of other news items circling around the team. For example, while one portion of the team’s staff is going through a massive upheaval, another is staying consistent for the immediate future.
The latter is the scouting department, which now falls under the purview of new general manager Brian Gutekunst. Don’t expect any changes to that staff for the time being, however, even though there have been two high-profile departures from a group. Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith’s titles may be filled eventually, but they won’t be for the time being.
We also have some news about a great effort put forth by one particular Packers player and his wife, as they have become involved in a special and noble cause off the field. Let’s give him some props for the excellent work he is doing and will continue to do in the community.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst staying the course with scouting staff | Packersnews.com
The new GM has decided to stand pat with the staff he has worked with and trusts, at least until the conclusion of the 2018 NFL Draft — and Ted Thompson sticking around probably is a part of the reason for that decision. After that, however, look for the Packers to make a few changes to titles and perhaps to bring a few new individuals on board.
