Green & Gold Fix

The Packers didn’t just move on from Rashan Gary — they got something for him. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, former Packers tackle Brian Bulaga reacts to the news that Gary was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 fourth-round pick, and what it means for Green Bay’s cap flexibility moving forward. 030926 Bulaga on JGC Bulaga admits he was surprised the Packers found a trade partner willing to absorb Gary’s contract — calling it a win given that a release seemed likely. 🏈 Sean Ryan’s Deal Raises Eyebrows The bigger conversation shifts to the offensive line. Bulaga was stunned Sean Ryan landed an $11 million per year deal after only nine starts at center. He explains: The center market is thin. Linderbaum-type money ($20M+) was never realistic for Green Bay. The Packers essentially chose cost control over star power. But that doesn’t mean the job is done. 🧱 “Five Is Not Enough” Bulaga makes it clear: Having five starters does not equal having a complete offensive line. The Packers’ group: Banks battled injuries. Elton’s move to center didn’t work. Zach Tom is coming off a major knee surgery. Jordan Morgan is projected at left tackle but unproven. Bulaga stresses the need for real depth and real competition — not just hoping internal improvement fixes everything. 🧠 The Elton Jenkins Move The shift of Elton Jenkins to center was a major domino. When it failed, the line never fully stabilized. Bulaga notes: When you move a Pro Bowl guard and it doesn’t work, the ripple effects are unavoidable. That decision, paired with injuries, contributed to the regression from a Top-10 unit to a bottom-tier group. ⚖️ Rashid Walker & Market Reality The show closes with Rashid Walker’s projected $19–20M market value. Bulaga’s blunt assessment: The Packers cannot afford to pay four offensive linemen premium money. If they pay Ryan, Tom, and Banks — someone has to walk. 🎯 The Bottom Line The Packers improved flexibility by moving Gary. But flexibility doesn’t equal finished. If Jordan Love is taking major hits again in 2026, none of the cap math will matter. 🎧 A former player’s honest assessment of Green Bay’s trench strategy — with Brian Bulaga on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga joins Wilde and Tausch weighing in on a significant O-Line development impacting the race to win the NFC North in 2026.

Former Packers offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga joins Wilde and Tausch to share his takeaways from Packers GM Brian Gutekunst meeting with the media at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Based on what the GM says, what changes can fans expect for the Packers offensive line in 2026?

Malik Willis may be the most fascinating quarterback on the free agent market — and the numbers being floated are staggering. In this edition of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins the show live from airport chaos en route to the NFL Combine to break down why Willis’ timing could lead to a massive payday — potentially in the $40–50 million per year range. 022526 Schefter on JGC 🏈 Why Malik Willis’ Timing Is Perfect Schefter explains the simple equation: Weak quarterback draft class Limited veteran options Multiple QB-needy teams Desperation across the league That combination creates leverage. He compares the situation to Justin Fields’ deal last year — but notes the ceiling may be significantly higher because of market scarcity. Timing + talent = money. 🔄 Kyler Murray, Tua & The Domino Effect The conversation expands to other quarterbacks whose futures feel uncertain: Kyler Murray — Are the Cardinals truly committed? Tua Tagovailoa — Contract complications and durability questions Daniel Jones — Could the Colts make a move? Schefter makes it clear: When quarterback supply is thin, even imperfect options gain serious value. 🧀 What This Means for the Packers Green Bay may not need a starting quarterback — but losing Willis could force them into the veteran backup market. Schefter notes that for quarterbacks who can’t land starting jobs, a place like Green Bay could be appealing: Stable organization Strong coaching staff Opportunity to reset But the price may surprise people. 💰 Seahawks Sale: $10 Billion?! In one of the most jaw-dropping parts of the interview, Schefter discusses the Seattle Seahawks potentially selling — and how the number being floated could reach $10 billion. NFL franchise values continue to skyrocket, and ownership investment remains one of the most stable assets in sports. The NFL’s financial engine isn’t slowing down. ✈️ Combine Week Chaos Schefter also shares how the NFL Combine functions behind the scenes: Agents recruiting Teams quietly discussing trades Information flowing everywhere Deals forming before anyone realizes Even before he lands in Indianapolis, conversations are already happening. ⚖️ The Bottom Line Malik Willis’ value is real. The quarterback carousel is about to spin. And when supply is limited, prices get outrageous. The NFL offseason hasn’t even started — and it’s already volatile. 🎧 A fast-moving insider look at quarterback chaos, market leverage, and billion-dollar ownership moves — with Adam Schefter on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Amid fans reacting to news of the Green Bay Packers reiterating that they'll revoke season tickets from fans who "repeatedly resell" on the secondary market, Packers Director of Public Affairs Aaron Popkey joins Wilde and Tausch.

Mike McCarthy--Former Green Bay Packers Super Bowl champion and new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers--joins Wilde and Tausch.

One more for the road. The Season 2 finale of the weekly edition of Weekly Wilde is here, and Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf close the book by diving into what’s next for the Packers after Super Bowl week. They start with the most unsurprising (and most debated) hire of the offseason: Luke Getsy returning as quarterbacks coach after Sean Mannion leaves. From there, they get into the backup quarterback plan with Malik Willis expected to depart, and why the Packers are clearly stacking reclamation projects behind Jordan Love. Then it’s rapid-fire offseason triage: Josh Jacobs and the value of leadership and toughness, the reality of offensive line decisions (Elgton Jenkins, Aaron Banks, Sean Rhyan), and the looming Rashan Gary cap and production conversation. Plus: why “change for change’s sake” is tempting, but not always better.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Super Bowl week in San Francisco to break down the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason — and it all starts with the quarterback market. 021126 JGC Hour 1 From Malik Willis’ rising value to the uncertain futures of Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa, Schefter walks through how a thin draft class and limited free-agent options are about to create a quarterback scramble across the league. 🏈 Malik Willis: Perfect timing Schefter makes it clear: Malik Willis picked the right year to hit free agency. With: A weak quarterback draft class Limited veteran options Desperate teams in need of competition Willis is poised to be “a man in demand.” Schefter compares the situation to the year Josh McCown suddenly became the top quarterback available, explaining how timing — not pedigree — can drive the market. His prediction? A contract similar to Justin Fields’ two-year, $40 million deal — possibly more. 🔄 Kyler Murray & Tua: Hard to trade, harder to replace Schefter also addresses speculation around Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa, explaining why their situations are far more complicated than fans realize. For Arizona: Trading Kyler creates a new problem — finding someone better The quarterback pool simply isn’t deep enough For Miami: Tua’s contract is “exceedingly difficult” to move A trade would likely require financial gymnastics The takeaway: Even teams frustrated with their quarterbacks may end up keeping them — because alternatives are worse. 🏟️ Maxx Crosby & the Raiders’ gamble Schefter touches on the Las Vegas Raiders’ future, including the speculation around Maxx Crosby’s trade interest. With: A new head coach (Clint Kubiak) The No. 1 overall draft pick Nearly $90 million in cap space Schefter suggests this isn’t the worst time to be a Raider — and that things can change quickly, just as they did last year when Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons trade talk ultimately went nowhere. 🧠 Rodgers, McCarthy & Pittsburgh The segment also explores: The Steelers’ interest in bringing Aaron Rodgers back Mike McCarthy’s willingness to reunite with Rodgers How quarterback scarcity makes even imperfect fits worth exploring Schefter’s message is consistent: When the market is thin, options become leverage — and leverage drives decisions. 🌍 International expansion & the bigger NFL picture Schefter briefly addresses: The NFL’s aggressive push toward international games The inevitability of an 18-game season How the league’s business priorities often outweigh player comfort He sums up the offseason simply: Quarterback uncertainty, impatient owners, and shifting power dynamics defined 2026 — and those themes aren’t going away. ⚖️ The bottom line Adam Schefter leaves listeners with a clear outlook: Malik Willis will have options Kyler and Tua’s futures remain fluid The Raiders and Steelers are pivot points And quarterback scarcity is about to drive everything When supply is low, demand skyrockets. 🎧 A fast-paced, insider look at the NFL’s quarterback domino effect and the chaos that could define the offseason — with Adam Schefter on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN NFL Nation Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joins Wilde and Tausch to share his biggest takeaways from GM Brian Gutekunst's season-ending press conference in Green Bay.

The Packers season is over — and the questions are just beginning. On the penultimate episode of Season 2 of Weekly Wilde, Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf react to Brian Gutekunst’s first press conference since the end of the season and what it did (and didn’t) reveal about Green Bay’s direction. They discuss the GM’s messaging, frustration over vague answers, the continued loyalty within the coaching staff, and why some fans are struggling to see real accountability after another disappointing finish. Plus, with Super Bowl week here, Jason shares stories about Ron Wolf and why his fingerprints are all over this matchup — from Green Bay to New England and beyond. They also dig into the Packers’ biggest roster questions heading into the offseason, including the defensive line, offensive line, cornerback, and what comes next with key veterans. This is a big offseason for Green Bay — and this conversation sets the stage for what matters most.

Former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga joins Wilde and Tausch. What does he want to hear from Packers GM Brian Gutekunst meeting with the media for his end-of-season press conference?

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Super Bowl week in San Francisco with strong opinions, insider perspective, and unmistakable frustration over what he calls an “embarrassing” Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process. 020426 Schefty on JGC What begins as a discussion about the league’s push toward an 18-game regular season quickly turns into a full-throated takedown of how the Hall of Fame operates — and why recent decisions involving Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft expose a system that no longer makes sense. 🏈 Why the NFLPA saying “no appetite” is just negotiation Schefter first addresses the NFL Players Association publicly stating it has “no appetite” for an 18th game. He explains why that language is exactly what the union should be saying — not because it’s final, but because it’s leverage. Schefter lays out the likely endgame: Owners want 18 games Players will resist publicly The final deal will include more money, fewer preseason games, and an extra bye week As Schefter bluntly puts it, if players are offered more pay and more rest, many will ultimately say yes — even if they don’t like it. 🌍 International games, Melbourne & the travel nightmare The conversation briefly shifts to the NFL’s global expansion, including the upcoming Melbourne, Australia game. Schefter acknowledges the logistical chaos: Massive time-zone differences Brutal travel demands Players’ bodies paying the price He expects teams playing in Australia to receive a mandatory bye week afterward, and admits the league is prioritizing global growth even when it clearly strains players. 🏆 The Hall of Fame explosion The heart of the segment erupts when Schefter addresses the news that Bill Belichick was not elected as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, nor was Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Schefter doesn’t hedge: He calls it ridiculous, petty, personal, and embarrassing He believes voters punished Belichick for Spygate and Deflategate, despite the league already issuing penalties He argues the Hall has no morality clause, making retroactive punishment inappropriate Schefter is especially incensed by the voting structure, where coaches, contributors, and senior players are lumped into one category and voters are forced to choose between incomparable candidates. “How do you compare Bill Belichick to Roger Craig? It doesn’t make any sense.” 🧠 Why this hurts everyone else Schefter explains the downstream damage: Only one coach can be inducted per year Greats like Mike Holmgren, Mike Shanahan, and Tom Coughlin are now pushed back even further Elder candidates are forced to wait — sometimes until after they pass away He calls it cruel, unnecessary, and structurally broken. 🐐 The Tom Brady line in the sand Schefter draws one absolute boundary: If Tom Brady is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, “they should shut the place down.” To Schefter, Brady is the ultimate test of whether the Hall has any credibility left. If voters apply inconsistent standards — punishing coaches but not players — the entire institution collapses under its own hypocrisy. ⚖️ The bottom line Adam Schefter’s conclusion is fiery and unambiguous: The Hall of Fame voting system is flawed Too much power is concentrated in too few hands Personal grudges are affecting legacy decisions And the process needs structural change immediately Belichick will get in next year. Kraft will eventually get in. But the damage is already done. 🎧 A passionate, unfiltered, nationally relevant conversation about power, legacy, and why football’s gatekeepers are failing the very people they’re supposed to honor — with Adam Schefter on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joined The Homer Hour to break down the state of the Packers’ defensive coaching staff and whether any changes could be coming on the offensive side. He also addressed concerns about the offensive line, including depth heading into next season and whether the Packers can move forward with Elgton Jenkins unless he takes a pay cut. The conversation continued with a look at cornerback and defensive line heading into 2026, whether the roster still has too many holes, and how confident Demovsky is that the Packers can win the NFC North in 2026.

ESPN NFL Nation Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joins Wilde and Tausch to share his latest insights on how the coaching carousel around the NFL has impacted assistants coming and going for the Green Bay Packers.

Another busy week in Green Bay. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down the Packers’ latest coaching moves, including Jonathan Gannon stepping in to lead the defense and what his background as a former head coach could mean. They discuss why so much of the defensive staff is turning over, why the offensive staff has stayed largely intact, and whether Matt LaFleur needs fresh ideas moving forward. Plus, Mike McCarthy takes the Steelers job — and Jason explains his relationship with McCarthy, how the hire came together, and why a reunion with Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with immediate, blunt reaction to one of the most shocking decisions in modern football history: Bill Belichick not being elected as a first-ballot Hall of Famer. 012826 Schefty on JGC Schefter doesn’t mince words — calling the decision “embarrassing” for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and accusing voters of allowing personal grudges, ego, and self-importance to override objective reality. 🏈 Why the Belichick snub makes no sense Schefter lays out the resume that should have made Belichick a lock: Six Super Bowls as a head coach Eight total Super Bowl rings One of the highest win totals in NFL history Architect of the most dominant dynasty the league has ever seen And yet, at least 11 voters left him off entirely, a fact Schefter finds indefensible. He argues that if voters want the prestige, access, and platform that come with Hall of Fame voting, they should also be required to own their decisions publicly. “If you’re man enough to vote him out, be man enough to say you did it.” ⚠️ Spygate, Deflategate & selective morality The conversation turns to the uncomfortable subtext behind the snub: Spygate and Deflategate. Schefter believes those scandals absolutely influenced voting — but stresses they were already punished by the league. The Hall of Fame has no morality clause, and retroactively applying one now sets a dangerous precedent. As Chewy points out: “Put Spygate on the plaque if you want — but don’t pretend he’s not first ballot.” 🧠 The Brady problem One of the most important ripple effects discussed: What does this mean for Tom Brady? Schefter is unequivocal: If Brady is voted in on the first ballot while Belichick was not, the Hall of Fame should “shut the doors.” The inconsistency would expose the process as broken, emotional, and unserious. 🏟️ This hurts other coaches too Schefter explains this isn’t just about Belichick. By playing games with ballots, voters: Blocked other deserving coaches like Mike Holmgren, Mike Shanahan, George Seifert, and Tom Coughlin Created a backlog that could last years Turned the Hall into a popularity contest instead of an honor roll If the greatest coach of all time can be held out, no one is safe. 🟢 Packers angle: Jonathan Gannon context The segment briefly shifts to Green Bay, where Schefter confirms: Jonathan Gannon had real interest from multiple teams The Packers were right to move quickly His reputation around the league remains strong despite Arizona Schefter says Green Bay got a coach who shouldn’t have been fired as a head coach — and one who will be judged strictly by results, not viral clips. 🏈 Jim Leonhard & the coaching carousel Schefter also weighs in on Jim Leonhard, confirming he remains a leading candidate for Buffalo’s defensive coordinator job and that it would not be surprising to see him land there once the interview process concludes. The segment closes with Schefter reacting emotionally to Mike McCarthy’s return to Pittsburgh, praising his press conference and describing the hire as one of the most meaningful moments of the coaching cycle. ⚖️ The bottom line Adam Schefter leaves listeners with a stark conclusion: The Hall of Fame process is broken Voters let ego outweigh history Transparency is the only fix Belichick will eventually get in — but the stain is already there. 🎧 A fiery, nationally relevant conversation about legacy, fairness, and why football’s gatekeepers sometimes do the most damage — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joined The Homer Hour to discuss the Packers’ busy offseason, starting with the reported hire of Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator. Demovsky broke down what Gannon could bring schematically, how his approach might change the defense, and what staff turnover to expect with Jeff Hafley leaving for Miami. He also addressed which assistant coaches could be on the move, how long the coaching carousel may continue in Green Bay, and wrapped with a front-office debate on whether the Packers would be better off with John Schneider or Eliot Wolf as GM instead of Brian Gutekunst.

ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to give a clear, insider breakdown of the Jonathan Gannon hire, why the Packers moved fast, and how Matt LaFleur is reshaping his coaching staff in a pivotal offseason. 012662 Rob on JGC The segment opens with Demovsky answering the biggest question Packers fans have been asking since the news broke: Was Jonathan Gannon the Packers’ top choice — or did they rush and settle? Rob explains that Gannon was going to be a defensive coordinator somewhere, and Green Bay believed they could not wait any longer without risking losing him to another team. That urgency came at the cost of not interviewing Jim Leonhard, who would have been available later — a decision that strongly suggests Gannon was always the Packers’ preferred candidate. 🏈 Why Matt LaFleur liked Jonathan Gannon Demovsky outlines the specific traits LaFleur valued: Gannon has already sat in the head-coach chair, even if the Arizona stint failed His defenses have generated elite pass-rush pressure, highlighted by 70 sacks with the Eagles in 2022 He views defense from the secondary forward, similar to Jeff Hafley LaFleur found Gannon difficult to scheme against when preparing game plans The takeaway: this wasn’t a desperation move — it was a targeted hire based on experience and scheme fit. 🔄 The Jim Leonhard reality Rob pushes back on the assumption that Leonhard was passed over unfairly. In his view: If Leonhard were the top choice, the Packers would have waited Moving quickly confirms Gannon sat atop the board Timing and urgency mattered more than local familiarity The decision trades comfort and popularity for league-wide demand — a risk LaFleur was willing to take. 🧠 What’s happening with the rest of the staff The conversation then shifts to coaching dominoes: Adam Stenavich interviewing in Tennessee The possibility of internal promotions vs outside hires Whether LaFleur’s history of waiting too long to move on from assistants is repeating Which Packers assistants Jeff Hafley might take with him to Miami Demovsky notes that LaFleur often delays staff decisions until forced, citing the Mo Drayton situation as precedent — and suggests changes on offense could still be coming. 🏟️ Rich Bisaccia’s misunderstood role Rob addresses fan frustration with Rich Bisaccia, explaining that: His value inside the building is far greater than fans realize He is respected as a former head coach and locker-room presence His “associate head coach” title is largely about mentorship and leadership, not play-calling Demovsky is clear: Bisaccia isn’t secretly running game decisions — he’s a stabilizing influence for a young coaching staff. 🎤 That viral Jonathan Gannon audio The segment reacts to the widely circulated clip of Gannon’s motivational speech. Rob shares what he’s heard from reporters who covered Gannon in Arizona: He’s outspoken and opinionated Not a cliché-spitting coach More polished as a coordinator than as a head coach Demovsky doesn’t see the clip as damaging — just evidence that Gannon is comfortable being himself, even if it comes off awkward in isolation. ⚖️ The bottom line Rob Demovsky leaves listeners with a grounded conclusion: Jonathan Gannon was in demand The Packers prioritized experience and urgency Staff changes aren’t finished And Matt LaFleur is clearly trying to evolve his leadership approach This hire won’t be judged by press conferences or viral clips — it will be judged by discipline, pass rush, and late-game defense. 🎧 A must-listen breakdown of Green Bay’s most important coaching decision of the offseason — with real context, not speculation — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN NFL Nation Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joins Wilde and Tausch as the Green Bay Packers continue the search for a new defensive coordinator and speculation continues on the future of offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich and special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia. Is the DC role Jim Leonhard's job to lose?

Matt LaFleur is officially extended — and now the Packers’ offseason dominoes are falling fast. On this week’s Weekly Wilde, Alex Strouf and Jason Wilde break down Jeff Hafley leaving Green Bay for the Dolphins, why the DC search is moving quickly, and what the Packers are actually looking for in the next defensive coordinator. They also dig into the biggest fan frustration: why haven’t we seen more coaching staff changes yet? Jason explains why Rich Bisaccia remains so valued inside the building (even with the special teams criticism), what could happen with Adam Stenavich, and why this staff timeline may be tied to other front office decisions. Plus: where the defensive roster questions are loudest heading into March — pass rush depth, cornerback, and what comes next after a chaotic season.
