  "summary": "The Green Bay Packers have announced their five-season-long captains for the 2026 season, marking a shift from their previous practice of rotating captains on a game-by-game basis. The team will be led by offensive captains Jordan Love and Tucker Kraft, defensive captains Xavier McKinney and Zaire Franklin, and special teams captain Isaiah McDuffie. This decision comes despite the fact that only two of the Packers' top 11 highest-paid players made the cut. Love and McKinney were selected, while the remaining three captains are among the lower-paid players on the team.",
