What happened: Green Bay is organizing its passing game around a traditional hierarchy with Jordan Love directing the offense. Steve Smith Sr. and James Palmer characterize the move as a philosophical departure from distributing targets across a crowded receiver room.

Why it matters: A defined order could concentrate opportunities and make weekly roles less fluid. It also gives Love clearer priorities as Green Bay installs its offense for the upcoming season.
