Packers interviewed Eric Washington for DL ​​coach

The list of candidates for Green Bay’s next defensive line coach continues to grow.

Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports that the Packers interviewed Eric Washington for the position. They also interviewed Aaron Whitecotton and Casey Rogers since they parted ways with Jason Rebrovich.

Washington was hired as the Bears’ defensive coordinator in 2024 and took over as the team’s defensive lineman after head coach Matt Eberflus was fired. The Bears have settled on Ben Johnson as their new head coach, and Dennis Allen is considered the top candidate to fill Washington’s former position on the staff.

Washington had two years as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator and was the defensive line coach in Buffalo between two stints as a coordinator.
