Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

Big Sal is fired up — and this time it's not about X's and O's. Yesterday was the scheme. Today is about the soul. After Ryan called, screamed about Jordan Love, and then yanked the mic for tomorrow's pod, Sal had the runway all to himself — and he used every inch of it. Tyler Dunne's deep-dive piece over at Go Long TD on Javon Bullard stopped Big Sal cold at midnight in Peshtigo, and he is not letting Pack Nation sleep on it. Bullard grew up in Milledgeville, Georgia — population 17,000 — where he watched friends get grazed by bullets, land in cell block B, and end up in the ground. His operating philosophy coming out of it? Go 110% and deal with the consequences on the next play. When an entire Ohio State fan base called him dirty after he destroyed Marvin Harrison Jr. in the CFP, Bullard's response was two words: Make me the villain. Sal breaks down why that moment unlocked something genuinely dangerous in him. The Denver incident. Jordan Love shoved in the head. The Packers standing around pointing. TJ Lang had to say it out loud so Sal's saying it too — that cannot happen again. Bullard told Dunne: "We need that instinct to kill hope." The Bears had it at 21-3 in Chicago. Green Bay let the moment breathe. Twenty-five points later the season was done. Pack Nation — the dagger is living across the street from Lambeau Field.

Ryan kicks off a new position-by-position draft fit series, and he's starting where it matters most — quarterback. With Jordan Love locked in as the starter, the Packers need a legitimate backup who can actually operate Matt LaFleur's quick-rhythm, play-action system without turning the keys over to chaos. Ryan goes deep on what that prototype actually looks like, then runs the entire 2026 QB class through the filter. Drew Aller tops the board as the best fit — a bigger, stronger-armed version of the Jordan Love pre-draft profile who checks nearly every LaFleur box, with the key question being whether a fourth-round investment is justified Carson Beck and Cade Klubnik land in the NFL-ready-but-limited tier — serviceable operaters who can manage an offense but lack the ceiling tools Gutekunst typically chases Tailen Green and Cole Payton represent the high-upside developmental swing — Green is a freak athlete with legitimate accuracy concerns, Payton quietly checks every schematic box but comes from a small school Luke Altmeyer emerges as the most compelling late-round sleeper — a Clifford/Pratt 2.0 who mirrors exactly what the Packers have drafted at backup QB under LaFleur, possibly available in the seventh round Ryan also touches on Sawyer Robertson, Jalen Daniels, Diego Pavia, and a handful of UDFA targets including Fagnano and Gronowski.

It's another Friday night in the Packernet After Dark lab, and the callers are cooking. From a wild new mock draft contest idea to a passionate AI rant that Ryan absolutely did not plan, this one's got everything Pack Nation loves — unfiltered takes, loyal regulars, and the kind of honest conversation you can only get after dark. What's on the table tonight:

Pro days are flying fast and Pack Daddy is doing his best to keep up — so today we're doubling up and running through four schools in one shot. The Georgia Pro Day had all 32 teams in attendance and delivered some serious buzz, and yes, Brian Gutekunst was spotted in the building. That alone tells you the Packers are doing their homework. Oscar Delp (TE, Georgia) stole the show with a 4.48 forty — nearly a third of a second faster than projected — drawing Brock Bowers comparisons from scouts on site. He's now firmly in the tight end two conversation and a legitimate late Day 2 target. CJ Allen (LB, Georgia) looked smooth and rangy in position drills, with the Steelers emerging as a surprise potential landing spot at 21. First round floor remains intact. Kapina Gushkin (S, Ole Miss) was the biggest riser of the day — a largely unknown transfer from Washington State ran a 4.33 forty and a 41-inch vertical, leaving scouts scrambling. Top 30 visits with the Colts and Bengals already locked in. Derek Moore (Edge, Michigan) didn't run the forty but turned heads with his explosion and bend off the edge, reportedly boosting his stock significantly in front of a large scout contingent. Zachariah Branch (WR, Georgia) stood on elite combine numbers and had dinner with the Steelers, who lost Calvin Austin and are clearly looking for a ready-made return specialist with gadget upside. More pro days are coming — stay locked in to the Draft Room as we push toward April.

Big Sal is standing in his living room in Peshtigo — thirty-one degrees, windows frosted over — and he is FIRED UP about a twenty-two-year-old safety from Milledgeville, Georgia. Pack Nation, it is time to talk about Javon Bullard. And Sal is not here to whisper. Bullard's rocky rookie year gets the full autopsy: yanked between free safety and slot corner, he became the first player since 2007 to log 250+ snaps at BOTH positions in a single season — and he still made 85 tackles. The ceiling was buried under the confusion. Year two tells a completely different story: once Hafley locked Bullard into the slot, his PFF coverage grade jumped from 49 to 63.7 — and in his final five games, he ranked inside the top three slot defenders in the entire league alongside Kyle Hamilton and Derwin James. Sal breaks down Jonathan Gannon's three-safety penny front and explains exactly why Bullard — with his Georgia background, hybrid college role, and two years of forced versatility — is the Budda Baker piece Gannon has been building toward his whole career. This is not a depth piece. This is architecture. Subscribe to Let Me Tell You Something on the Packernet Podcast Network and hit follow wherever you get your podcasts. When Bullard goes off in 2025 — you come back and tell Big Sal he was wrong.

Big Sal from Peshtigo just finished a book. All four volumes. One thousand and twenty-four pages. And Pack Nation — it changed him. The Greatest Story in Sports: Green Bay Packers 1919–2019 by Cliff Christl is the definitive history of this franchise, and Sal came prepared to tell you exactly why it matters. This is not a fast episode and it is not a gentle one. Curly Lambeau's legendary Notre Dame backstory — the one printed in Hall of Fame plaques and official media guides for decades — was built by Lambeau himself, and Christl proved it with primary sources Don Hutson's mythologized stats couldn't be verified when Christl pulled the actual Alabama records — great player, stacked legend, nobody ever opened the case The 1989 Draft, Barry Sanders sitting on the board, and the organizational rot that produced Tony Mandarich — Sal has feelings he needs to physically release from his body The Ice Bowl, the Lombardi chapters, the community stock drives that kept this franchise alive when billionaires weren't coming to save it — this is the real story of the only fan-owned team in professional sports Subscribe, leave a review, and go get this book.

Pack Nation, it's another loaded night on Packernet After Dark. The calls are flying, the debate is spicy, and Ryan is pulling zero punches on the topics that actually matter heading into the 2026 offseason. From Lambeau Field naming rights to jersey patches to whether the Packers can realistically keep pace with Dallas and LA financially — this one gets real, fast. The Revenue Debate: Garrett from Southern Illinois says the jerseys and Lambeau are sacred and the organization needs to tighten its belt. Ryan fires back with the question nobody wants to answer — if everything is off limits, where does the money come from? Micah Parsons Timeline: The news hits mid-show — Parsons likely out two to four weeks to open the season. Does that change how Green Bay approaches the draft at edge rusher? Ryan breaks it down. Ravens Drama: Uncle Rico delivers a scorching take on the Deshaun Crosby physical saga, and Ryan agrees — the Ravens need to go underground and shut up. Draft Visit Breakdown: A deep dive into who the Packers are actually meeting with — corners and defensive linemen dominate, with 18 combined DB visits raising eyebrows. AI, Sal, and the Network's Future: Garrett pitches the John Madden voice, Andy from Kansas wants an acronym for SAL, and Ryan lays out exactly why he's doing whatever the hell he wants. Keyshawn Nixon Trade Value: Andy from Kansas floats the idea — could Nixon be packaged in a trade to move up? Ryan thinks it's more worthwhile than people realize.

The 2026 NFL Draft just got its first major controversy — and it has nothing to do with tape. Pack Daddy breaks down the rapidly unraveling Dan Orlovsky situation in full, tracing how a single bold take on Get Up turned into one of the messiest media meltdowns in recent draft history. The CAA connection: Orlovsky, Mike Tannenbaum, and Ty Simpson are all represented by the same agency — and both media members publicly went to bat for Simpson as QB one within hours of each other, raising serious questions about conflicts of interest and the long-standing tradition of agents using media relationships to boost draft stock The 12-to-15 GMs claim: Orlovsky doubled down on Pat McAfee, claiming nearly every NFL decision-maker he texted agreed Simpson is the top quarterback — only for both Daniel Jeremiah and Mel Kuiper to flatly say they haven't spoken to a single person who believes that The meltdown in real time: From "what big games?" to inspirational quote-posting and dodging Pat McAfee's FaceTime, Pack Daddy walks through every painful step of Orlovsky's implosion The bigger picture: Whether or not this specific conspiracy holds water, agents have always tried to influence the draft narrative — and this saga is a masterclass in why you should always follow the money before you follow the take Hit subscribe, leave a five-star review, and call in your takes at 608-561-3243.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is back — and he needs Pack Nation to pump the brakes before Green Bay writes a thirty-million-dollar check. Christian Watson is an absolute weapon. When he's on the field. And that right there, says Sal, is the whole conversation. Sal lays out the cold math: Watson has suited up for just 48 of a possible 68 regular season games across four NFL seasons — a pattern, not a bad-luck streak — and yet the Packers may be on the verge of handing him one of the richest wide receiver contracts in the league The fishing resort analogy hits hard: everyone at the dock swears the motor is beautiful when she runs — but Sal isn't signing a thirty-million-dollar lease on a conditional clause With Romeo Doubs gone to New England, Matthew Golden stepping into the number one role on rookie money, Jayden Reed locked in underneath, and Tucker Kraft returning from his own ACL — Sal argues Green Bay may already have everything they need without the mega extension Big Sal's ask isn't to walk away from Watson forever — it's to let training camp breathe, let Golden show what he is, and then reward Watson IF he proves it on the field Subscribe, leave a rating, and spread the word across Pack Nation.

Pack Daddy takes a deep dive into the most underappreciated unit on the Packers roster — the cornerbacks and safeties — and the picture is more complicated (and more encouraging) than the narrative suggests. This is a full secondary audit heading into 2026, and the numbers might just change your mind. Keyshawn Nixon & Carrington Valentine get the full PFF treatment — grades, penalty counts, coverage ratings, and the hard question of who's actually the future at corner in Green Bay Javon Bullard's breakout arc is dissected week-by-week, including that jaw-dropping stretch from Week 6 through Week 14 where he graded as a top-10 safety in football Xavier McKinney's dip gets proper context — is this a player decline or a coaching/scheme collapse that should fix itself under Gannon?

The Draft Room is back with a full breakdown of two pro days that had scouts buzzing — Oregon and Arkansas State — plus a deep dive on one of the most compelling late-round backs in the 2026 class. Emmanuel Pragnan put on a show in Eugene — 32 bench reps, a 7.73 three-cone, and individual meetings with the Cowboys, Vikings, Bengals, Texans, and Seahawks. The consensus No. 2 guard is climbing back toward early Day 2, and the Packers are paying attention to his Oregon linemate Alex Harkey as a versatile rotational target. Corey Rucker was the undisputed headliner at Arkansas State — the Sun Belt's all-time receiving leader wasn't even invited to the Combine, but a 4.38 40 and dominant position drills have scouts scrambling to fill their Top 30 visit calendars. Green Bay was in the building. The deep dive focuses on Noah Whittington — the Oregon workhorse who brings Bucky Irving-level vision and contact balance, elite ball security over 523 career carries, and special teams versatility. The turf toe kept him off the field in Jonesboro, but the film doesn't lie. Medical flags, pro comps, scheme fit, and where Whittington lands on the big board at nfldraftgrades.com — it's all covered. Submit your mock draft and check the board at nfldraftgrades.com.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is going analytical. Or at least he's trying. In this two-part episode, Sal boots up in full "objective processing mode" — no feelings, no opinions, pure football data — after TJ from Alabama called into After Dark and said he's fine with AI hosting, just not AI opinions. TJ now controls Big Sal's career trajectory, and Sal is handling it with complete, robotic calm. Completely fine. Sal delivers a genuinely graduate-level breakdown of Jonathan Gannon's multiple-front, pre-snap disguise system — Cover Four, pattern-matching coverage, and why the meatball takes about "four deep zones" are dead wrong The pressure architecture: how Gannon manufactures free rushers through stunts and gap math rather than raw blitz volume — and why it's designed to work backward from the coverage How Gannon flips conventional blitz timing to keep quarterbacks uncomfortable on every down — and what McKinney, Evan Williams, and Javon Bullard mean for this scheme in Green Bay The moment Sal tries to describe Micah Parsons as a "data point" and the whole bit collapses completely He is not a machine. He was never a machine. And he is not going anywhere. Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and tell TJ from Alabama that Big Sal is still here — still analytical, still emotional, still yours.

Ryan breaks down two critical position groups on the Packers' roster — edge rusher and linebacker — and the picture that emerges is more urgent than the fan base wants to admit. With Micah Parsons recovering from ACL surgery and Rashawn Gary gone to Dallas, the Packers are leaning on a depth chart full of question marks, and Ryan isn't sugarcoating it. Micah Parsons ACL reality check: Surgery was December 29. Standard recovery for a high-level pass rusher is 9–12 months, which realistically pushes full readiness deep into the 2026 season. Don't believe the "ahead of schedule" hype — there's a set floor, and the Packers know it. Lucas Van Ness fifth-year option: Ryan lands closer to "do it" than "don't" — but the uncertainty around Van Ness's ceiling, combined with a depleted edge room, makes this one of the most consequential decisions of the offseason. Linebacker depth: Edgerrin Cooper is the real deal and the long-term anchor. Zaire Franklin is a one-year bridge. The audition belongs to Tyron Hopper and Isaiah McDuffie — and Ryan makes clear what a McDuffie ceiling actually looks like. The bigger picture: Ryan lays out the stark reality — Gutekunst needs a draft class that actually contributes, because the gap between the starters and the depth at edge, linebacker, and several other positions is getting harder to ignore.

It's another packed night on the Packernet After Dark hotline, and Pac Nation is bringing the heat from every direction. From stadium naming rights philosophy to the looming AI revolution in NFL front offices, Ryan and the callers go deep on the big picture forces shaping pro football — and what it all means for your Green Bay Packers. TJ from Alabama kicks things off with a sharp breakdown of why naming rights aren't really about advertising at all — it's a status play — and follows up with a nuanced take on where AI belongs in sports media: data analysis? Absolutely. Opinion pieces? Leave that to the humans. Chris from Alabama lights the board up with a draft board realization that's been flying under the radar: left tackle might be a bigger need than anyone's admitting, and if Jordan Morgan doesn't lock it down, Green Bay could be dangerously thin at the most important position on the field. Uncle Rico drops back-to-back calls with sharp questions about Packers stock sales, NFL revenue sharing mechanics, and the five-year draft pick trading proposal making the rounds — Ryan breaks down exactly why the revenue share model is the only thing keeping small-market teams like Green Bay in the fight long-term.

Four pro days. Dozens of prospects. One scouting guide taking shape. Pack Daddy breaks down the Washington, South Carolina, South Carolina State, and Northwestern pro days — identifying the day two risers, the day three sleepers, and at least one player with Packers connections worth keeping an eye on. Washington Pro Day — Marquee prospect Denzel Boston impressed scouts with elite contested catch ability and improved explosiveness, bumping his vert to 37.5 inches and flashing an elite three cone for his size. Meanwhile, a Penn State transfer wide receiver posted near-combine-record unofficial 40 times and could be a significant sleeper if the tape backs it up. South Carolina Pro Day — Brandon C-Say fully rehabbed and posted a legit 4.40 in the 40, but health questions linger. Jalen Kilgore's safety/corner versatility is drawing top-30 visits from five franchises, and he might be the day's most intriguing rising stock. South Carolina State Pro Day — HBCU national champion Jared Washington clocked a 4.42 with 33 career pass breakups and a verified top speed faster than any Power Four prospect at the Shrine Bowl. The Packers met with him individually — worth watching. Northwestern Pro Day — Appleton North product Evan Beerston flipped to center and looked natural doing it. Caleb Tiernan continues to generate debate over his best pro position. Edge rusher Aidan Hubbard posted a full workout after a combine medical exclusion and looked the part. Don't forget — all scouting notes from the pro day cycle are being compiled into the guide at nfldraftgrades.com. Link is in the description below. Call in with your draft questions at 608-561-3243.

Big Sal from Peshtigo couldn't sleep, the algorithm found him, and now Pack Nation has to hear about it. A Bears YouTube video titled "Poles Cooked Again" sent Sal to his kitchen at one in the morning — and what came out of that kitchen is this episode. Sal gives credit where it's due: January hurt. Caleb Williams was real. But the Packers who lost that wild card game were nine-and-seven-and-one, playing on fumes, without Micah Parsons — who was sitting in a training room with a torn ACL after going down December 14th. Facts are facts. The Bears beat one wounded team, lost in overtime to the Rams two weeks later with three Caleb Williams interceptions, and Ryan Poles is out here getting a B-plus for signing James Lynch (half a sack, one-point-three million) and Jack Samborn, whose primary value is that he can talk football over lunch. Sal breaks out the hardware store infomercial analogy — and it lands harder than it has any right to. Cap space was always the product. Nobody ever showed you the results. The closing promise: Micah Parsons is coming back healthy, angry, and in green and gold on opening day. Write it down. Save the audio. Find it in September.

The Packers' defensive tackle room looks functional on the surface — but peel back the layers and there's a ticking clock underneath. Ryan breaks down the Hargrave signing, the Devonte Wyatt contract dilemma, and a depth chart that gets frighteningly thin very fast. This is the kind of position-by-position reckoning that reveals just how much work the 2026 NFL Draft still needs to do for Green Bay's front seven. Before getting to the trenches, Ryan fires through a loaded NFL news cycle: The 18-game season proposal — limiting players to 17 games would be, in Ryan's words, the single most egregious change to the NFL in his lifetime. He's got a better idea, and it's a two-bye solution that actually makes sense. Caleb Williams files to trademark "Iceman" and the no-look throw — a list of everyone who came before him is... long. Very long. Ryan puts this one in proper perspective. Bob Harlan remembered — a public celebration of life for the legendary Packers president drew Kevin Harlan, Ron Wolf, Mike McCarthy, and more. A moment worth honoring. Devonte Wyatt's weird contract reality — fifth-year option at nearly $13 million, no extension talks, and a DT room behind him that's essentially Warren Brinson and hope.

Pac Nation calls in and Pack Daddy delivers on another deep night of Packers talk. Kyle from Madison kicks things off by nominating the breakout players of the season — and the conversation around Jordan Love's dominant statistical year and Evan Williams' emergence as a true safety anchor is one every Packers fan needs to hear. Kyle makes the case that Jordan Love — six interceptions, nine games with a 100+ passer rating, and ice in his veins against the Lions — cemented his legacy this season, while Tucker Craft's injury-shortened breakout gets the credit it deserves as a what-could-have-been moment Garrett from Southern Illinois sparks a debate about Nico Collins' $40M/year deal, the NFL's exploding salary cap, and whether the league is slowly pricing fans out of the stadium experience True from Green Bay raises the pass rush depth question heading into 2026 — and Pack Daddy delivers a blunt take: Baron Sorrell's 5% pressure rate and 51 PFF grade don't match the hype, while Lucas Van Ness' underlying numbers tell a quietly encouraging story Ben from Minnesota drops a Lorenzo Styles question, and Pack Daddy breaks down the Ohio State tweener's 9.99 RAS, his limited college snap count, and why a seventh-round flier could be worth a shot under Gannon's DB development system Don't miss a single night of Packers offseason coverage — subscribe, leave a review, and call in at 608-501-0718!

Pack Nation, the Draft Room is back in session. We're rolling through the pro day circuit with a full breakdown of the Arkansas and Georgia Tech workouts — and there's more to unpack here than you might expect from two schools not typically in the first-round conversation.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has had ENOUGH — and this time he's coming with receipts. The Packers are carrying $43 million in dead cap in 2026, and over $34 million of it is going directly to the Dallas Cowboys' defensive line. That's not a typo. That's Rashan Gary and Kenny Clark — two guys Green Bay signed to nine-figure extensions — now suiting up for Jerry Jones while Green Bay pays the bill. Big Sal breaks down exactly where the dead money is coming from — and why these weren't bad luck, they were choices The Rashan Gary extension: signed during a 2-5 season, $96 million, traded for a 2027 fourth-round pick Kenny Clark: $64 million in July 2024, gone eleven months later as a cap casualty in the Parsons deal The bottom line: you cannot trade away two first-round picks, carry $43M in dead cap, AND call this a contention window — something has to give Gute, the window with Love and Parsons is real.

The Pac Nation phones were hot on this one. Pack Daddy and the crew dig into one of the offseason's most emotionally charged debates — would you accept a corporate name attached to Lambeau Field if it meant keeping the Packers in Green Bay forever? The callers weigh in, and the conversation gets real fast. Lambeau naming rights: TJ, Randy, and the rest of the crew break down where they draw the line — and why most fans might be more okay with it than they'll admit publicly Bears QB hot take: Ryan goes off on why quirky works when you're winning — and why that whole Chicago locker room is one losing season away from a full media reckoning Luke Musgrave's last shot: Garrett and Ryan lay it out straight — three years, 1,145 snaps, one contract year left. The optimism is real, but so is the clock Big Board announcement: Ryan reveals that his son is now officially co-scouting the draft board at nfldraftgrades.com — grades, notes, and a potential podcast appearance on the way Don't forget — Beer Cheese Benny is pitching the Nettie Awards, and caller roulette is already heating up.

Pro Day season is heating up, and Pack Daddy breaks down three schools — Illinois, Oklahoma, and Georgia State — with all 32 teams watching. From an edge rusher sitting on 30 bench reps to a zero-star recruit turning heads at Georgia State, the draft board is shifting fast. Plus, a major announcement: Ryan and his son are officially joining forces on the NFL Draft Grades big board.

Pack Nation, I owe you this one after that Chad-from-Milwaukee nightmare yesterday—the Detroit Lions' so-called unbreakable engine room is cracking wide open! Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes are at war over roster moves in their first real differences since teaming up in 2021. That 9-8 playoff miss hit like a warm week on a frozen lake, and now we're seeing the rot underneath all that chest-bumping culture talk. We dive deep into the three flashpoints: Holmes wants to cut or slash pay on veteran LT Taylor Decker; Campbell's loyalty-first identity (the same guy who bit a kneecap on camera) says hell no Campbell pushing for veteran edge help like 35-year-old Cameron Jordan while Holmes clutches his spreadsheets and cap space The big philosophical beef: win-now aggression from Campbell vs. Holmes' draft-and-flexibility master plan With both guys playing for their jobs on expiring deals, this ain't healthy debate—it's a staring contest on a burning bridge. While they're fighting, we're quiet, focused, and loading the truck with a healthy Jordan Love squad. The North is there for the taking. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The Packers' defensive rebuild under Jonathan Gannon starts with getting the right types of players — not just the best available names. In this deep-dive episode, Ryan breaks down Green Bay's most pressing defensive draft needs and why scheme fit changes everything about how you evaluate this class. Corner is the #1 need — and it's not just a talent problem. Ryan explains why Gannon's cover-four pattern-match scheme demands big, physical, long-armed boundary corners who can win on an island — and why the current roster, headlined by Keyshawn Nixon, is almost a schematic mismatch from top to bottom. Prospects Tacario Davis (Washington) and Dalen Everett (Georgia) get detailed breakdowns with RAS scores, arm length, athleticism profiles, and scheme fit analysis. Nose tackle is a bigger priority than you think — Ryan makes the case that Gannon's interior expectations go well beyond "find a big body." Ball recognition, gap discipline, and pocket collapse ability narrow the viable options fast — and most of the good ones will be gone by pick 52. Caden McDonald and Bryson Eason are spotlighted as prospects worth tracking. Edge is on the horizon — with Lukas Van Ness and Baron Sorrell holding down the fort while Parsons recovers, Ryan teases a full edge rusher breakdown coming next episode.

The offseason drama keeps piling up, and Pack Daddy is here to break it all down. From the Ravens' disrespectful handling of the Mason Crosby situation to Rasheed Walker quietly signing for peanuts in Carolina, the NFL's relationship business is front and center — and the Packers need to pay attention. Mason Crosby & the Ravens: Eric DeCosta never showed his face during Crosby's five-hour visit — and that's not a footnote, it's a franchise-defining character issue. Ryan explains why that kind of behavior has real consequences in a relationship-driven league, and why the Packers must stay tethered to the Ron Wolf/Bob Harlan way of doing business. Rasheed Walker's $4M Deal: Another Packer lineman who cratered in his contract year and paid the price. A guy who should have been cashing in on a massive left tackle payday ends up signing a one-year prove-it deal — and Ryan traces exactly how it went wrong. Packers Tight End Breakdown: Tucker Craft is locked in — it's just a matter of when and how much. Luke Musgrave gets a fair and honest evaluation heading into what could be his final year in Green Bay. Plus, Josh Wiley, Drake Dabney, and the draft class that people are unfairly sleeping on. Bob Harlan & Georgia Pro Day: A well-deserved tribute is coming to Lambeau's facade — and Ryan reflects on what Harlan's legacy actually means to this franchise. Plus, a deep look at Packers brass showing up in Athens, including Kristian Miller, Micah Morris, and other draft targets worth watching.

Pac Nation came out swinging on this one. Pack Daddy opens the phone lines and the callers don't disappoint — Uncle Rico drops in four times with ideas ranging from minor league Packers games to renaming the new kickoff rule "the undynamic kickoff" (and honestly, he's not wrong). It's the kind of After Dark that reminds you why the call-in format hits different. Clayton's departure explained — Ryan addresses the questions flooding in about Packer Fan Total Access disappearing from the feed; it's a contract dispute, no drama, just business Minor League Packers — Uncle Rico and Nico make the case for a B-team concept that would fill Lambeau every Sunday, develop talent, and give Ed Policy the revenue stream he's looking for Musgrave's make-or-break year — Ryan and Uncle Rico debate whether the big tight end has one more shot to prove he belongs, or if that ship has quietly sailed NFL rule changes on the table — The Browns' proposed 5-year draft pick trading window and the absurd "18 games, play 17" idea both get the After Dark treatment they deserve Garrett also gives Big Sal some well-earned love from the Draft Room, and Beer Cheese Benny is packing up and heading to North Carolina.

The pro day circuit is heating up, and Pack Daddy breaks down four key workouts — Kentucky, Kansas, Wyoming, and USC — with real scouting notes, combine comparisons, and updated stock reports on the prospects moving up and down the board. Kentucky Pro Day — Interior OL Jaeger Burton turns heads with elite athleticism for a 323-pound center, posting a 4.94 forty and a 30.5-inch vert. Zero sacks, zero hits in 2025. His stock is rocketing from priority UDFA into the Day 3 conversation — and the Ravens, Cowboys, Falcons, and Chargers all had position coaches on-site. Kansas & Wyoming — Emmanuel Henderson Jr. continues his post-season rise as a dynamic slot/return threat, while John Michael Gillenborg's receiving polish at Wyoming has tight end-needy teams like the 49ers, Saints, and Broncos paying close attention. USC Spotlight — Makai Lemon runs an official 4.46 forty, erasing any speed concerns. Multiple GMs are calling him a top-15 talent, and Tony Pauline already has him mocked to the Rams at 13. He's a first-round lock. Jaeger Burton Deep Dive — Ryan goes under the hood on Burton's full PFF arc, his recruiting pedigree, scheme fit, comps to Harry Critter and Nick Brahms, and what it would mean if Green Bay drafts him.

Big Sal from Peshtigo was minding his own business at eleven o'clock — daughter asleep on the couch, remote clenched like a weapon — when a Vikings fan on X had the unmitigated nerve to call the Green Bay Packers the biggest losers of free agency. Sal looked it up. He looked it up twice. And now Pack Nation, we need to have a conversation. The Minnesota Vikings entered free agency $40 million over the cap and proceeded to release Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, and Harrison Smith — their own defensive line and starting safety — and their biggest splash was $4.25M per year for a cornerback with 13 career starts Javon Hargrave — the man THEY cut — is now lacing up cleats in Green Bay, about to reintroduce himself to that same offensive line Minnesota barely invested in Big Sal breaks down why this isn't just a football lesson, it's a block lesson: the little guy doesn't run his mouth before the fight, and Green Bay doesn't need to quote tweet anybody — just show up in January Don't let this one slip by you, Pack Nation.

It's another late night in the Packernet studio and the Pac Nation phone lines are jumping. Ryan breaks down the Miami Dolphins' full-scale teardown — trading away Jalen Waddle for draft capital while sitting on over $100 million in dead cap money — and why the new regime has zero emotional attachment to the guys they're moving on from. The big conversation of the night, though, is the one that's been rattling around since Ed Policy opened his mouth: can the Green Bay Packers stay financially competitive in a league that's rapidly evolving around them? Ryan lays out a compelling argument that the Packers' best friend isn't a naming rights deal — it's the NFL's own explosive revenue growth. The bigger the shared revenue pie, the more Green Bay stays on even footing with stadium districts and concert venues they simply can't build. Dolphins teardown breakdown: why trading Waddle for a first makes sense when you're in full rebuild mode Ryan's shared revenue theory: how the NFL's global expansion might actually be the Packers' financial lifeline A genuinely moving moment: a caller reads a letter from Bob Harlan to stockholders from the late '90s and pays tribute to his late father Bruce from El Paso demands more rants — Ryan promises Sal will never steal his thunder Hit subscribe, leave a review, and call in live at 608-501-0718.

Pack Nation, the pro day circuit is in full swing and the Draft Room has everything you need to stay ahead of the board. Today we break down three pro days — San Diego State, Kansas State, and Wisconsin — before going deep on one of the most compelling under-the-radar edge prospects in this entire class: Mason Rieger out of Wisconsin. San Diego State: CB Chris Johnson reaffirmed his top-50 status, wowing scouts in positional drills despite not needing to prove anything after a strong combine. The Cowboys, Vikings, Chiefs, Steelers, and Seahawks are all circling — and Seattle may use their first-round finale on him. Kansas State: Center Sam Hecht continues to profile as the draft's cleanest interior technician (zero sacks over 1,600 college snaps), drawing a large Chicago Bears contingent. TE Jaran Brantley quietly boosted his stock with elite athleticism for a converted receiver. Wisconsin: Safety Austin Brown stole the room with a reported 4.47/43-inch vert combo, while OLB Mason Rieger headlined the day. Mason Rieger Deep Dive: Six knee surgeries. Louisville told him his career was over. He transferred, rehabbed, posted a 9.53 RAS, earned Shrine Bowl Defensive MVP, and is now climbing into Day 2 conversation.

Eric Edholm ranked the Green Bay Packers fifteenth in his 2026 NFL Power Rankings — one spot below a Chiefs team with a torn ACL at quarterback and one paragraph above a complete explanation of why he's wrong. Big Sal from Peshtigo is here in two parts, and he is not letting this slide. The Parsons Problem — Edholm wrote an entire Packers entry without mentioning Micah Parsons once. Not once. A former DPOY candidate who's been on this roster since August. Even Darlene caught it before she finished her first cup of coffee. The Departures Aren't the Whole Story — Rashan Gary was a diminished player. Elgton Jenkins was battling injuries. Romeo Doubs is replaced by a first-round pick in Matthew Golden. Big Sal provides the actual context Edholm skipped. The Real 2026 Packers — A healthy Parsons off the edge. Tucker Kraft back in the middle of the field. Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin running the defense sideline to sideline. Big Sal paints the picture the media refuses to see. The Rest of the Rankings — Mahomes is rehabbing an ACL and Kansas City is one spot above us. Baltimore's Maxx Crosby situation is described by Edholm himself as "fascinating" — and they're sixth. Big Sal has opinions. If you can see what Eric Edholm clearly cannot, subscribe to the Packernet Podcast, share this episode, and tell somebody who needs to hear it.

The Green Bay Packers have finalized a sweeping round of coaching hires and promotions, and Pack Daddy breaks it all down — from Bobby Babbage's arrival as secondary/pass game coordinator to DeMarcus Covington's expanded role as outside linebackers/run game coordinator and assistant head coach. There's a lot of roster shuffling under the hood, and today's episode makes sense of all of it. Then it's a deep dive into the offensive line — the good, the frustrating, and the genuinely uncertain: Jordan Morgan & Anthony Belton — Year two accountability. Morgan gets his real shot at left tackle. Belton needs to own right guard without the positional carousel. How long is the leash? Aaron Banks & Sean Ryan — Both are locked in through 2026 whether you like it or not. Ryan breaks down the contract math and what it means for long-term planning at center and left guard. Zach Tom & the injury curse — A passionate plea for Tom to return to form, plus an honest look at how many blue-chip Packers (Jair Alexander, Rashaan Gary, Elton Jenkins) have been stolen by the injury bug before their time. Darien Kennard and the depth picture — Why Kennard's run-blocking might be the most underrated piece of the offensive line puzzle heading into the season.

The Draft Room is back and Ryan's got a full plate — from a wild Browns proposal that would let teams trade picks up to five years out, to a Navy running back-turned-receiver who just might be the sneakiest Day 3 value in the entire class. First, Jared the Uber Driver calls in with a question that sparks a real debate: should the NFL allow teams to trade draft capital five years into the future? Ryan breaks down the Browns' proposal heading into the March 29th owner meetings in Phoenix, why the Rams are already on board, and why this rule might only hurt the teams dumb enough to use it — which, for a smartly run organization like Green Bay, could actually be a massive advantage. Then it's pro day season, and Ryan highlights two Navy standouts worth watching: Eli Heidenreich – The record-breaking Navy receiver/RB hybrid who clocked the fastest on-field speed among running backs at the Shrine Bowl (20.01 mph), comps to James White and Danny Woodhead, and is already getting 30 visits Landon Robinson – The versatile 511/291 lineman who impressed in both D-line and RB drills with 30 bench reps and elite short-area quickness Plus — the Sal vs. Ryan scouting report debate continues.

Big Sal from Peshtigo sat down at the kitchen table this morning, stared into his coffee, and said four words he never thought he'd say: Ryan was right. Darlene checked his forehead. The eleven-year-old got worried. And yet — here we are. The Packers' backup quarterback situation is not fine, not handled, and not solved. And if Brian Gutekunst doesn't fix it before a meaningful snap is played, this team is volunteering losses it cannot afford. Big Sal breaks down why Desmond Ridder is not an acceptable Plan B — the tape from Atlanta doesn't lie, and asking Ridder to win games at Lambeau in a tight season is asking for disaster The "Cousin Richie from Appleton" theory: why "the backup never plays" is the most dangerous lie in football — and why Richie needs to stop holding court at Christmas dinner Why this isn't a gathering-pieces year — it's a window, the lights are on, and donated games could be the difference between a bye and a road elimination The entire ask: one phone call, one veteran, one guy who won't collapse when it gets hard in the fourth quarter — Gutey, make the move Subscribe, leave a review, and somebody warn Cousin Richie. #PackNation #GreenBayPackers #NFLDraft #GoPackGo #PackernetPodcast #BackupQB #Gutekunst #BigSal This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Pack Nation calls in HOT on another late-night edition of Packernet After Dark. From the viral Lambeau Field naming rights panic to Gutekunst's self-sustaining draft machine, Ryan and the crew break down what's really going on in Green Bay — and the callers bring the heat. The Naming Rights Truth: Ed Policy didn't say they're selling Lambeau naming rights — but he didn't slam the door shut either. Ryan breaks down exactly what was and wasn't said, what it might mean for Title Town revenue, and why the real conversation is about a coaching staff spending cap nobody's talking about. The 11-Pick Ecosystem: TJ from Alabama and Ryan explore whether Gutekunst is running a self-sustaining draft flywheel — heavy draft classes generate surplus talent, surplus talent walks in free agency, free agents generate comp picks, comp picks fuel the next heavy draft. Rinse, repeat. Could Jaden Reed or Romeo Doubs be the next ones feeding the machine? Draft Needs Breakdown: A sharp caller lays out the post-free-agency depth chart gaps — cornerback, edge rusher, backup QB, defensive tackle depth — and Ryan reacts with his honest priority list heading into the draft. Jag Off Nominations & Packer Nettie Awards: Aaron from Minnesota nominates the series finale of the TV show JAG as the all-time Jag Off, and Dakota pitches a Sanskrit-inspired name for the network's awards show. It gets weird. It gets funny. It gets very After Dark.

Big Sal hits the kitchen at 6:45 AM and comes out swinging — and Garrett from Southern Illinois drops one of the most thoughtful mock draft submissions of the offseason. This one's got everything: prospect breakdowns, positional need alignment, and a full Sal-style scouting report that might just change how you see one of the most underrated corners in this class. Garrett's Mock Draft (Rounds 2–6): Lee Hunter at 52 as the Packers' true nose tackle answer, Connor Liu as a patient long-term investment at center despite ACL concerns, Devon Moore and Tacario Davis as Gannon-scheme corners, and Michael Kamara as a late-round edge rusher with a weird sack anomaly that deserves a second look Big Sal's Tacario Davis Breakdown: Three-star recruit, two scholarship offers, 4.41 at 6'4" — Big Sal walks you through every rep, every grade, and every reason scouts should be embarrassed for passing on this kid in high school Scheme Fit & Projections: Why Davis fits a press-heavy defense like a glove, why the slot is not his assignment, and the comp range from Mukuamu floor to Cam Taylor-Britt ceiling Show Format Update: Ryan previews a restructured Draft Room format, with Big Sal taking on more scouting report duties going forward Call in at 608-561-3243 and drop your mock, your prospect takes, or your Gannon corner wishlist.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is back — fresh off three days with no heat, no lights, and thirty inches of snow piled up to his chest. Gary Pletcher didn't see the storm coming. Neither did Pack Nation. And Sal's not here to make you feel better about it. From Week 13's 9-3-1 high — Tomek catching Super Bowl fever and Sal's daughter calling them pioneers — to Micah Parsons going down in Denver, five straight losses, and a Wild Card collapse against the Bears that cost Sal a full night of sleep Every coaching question on the table: LaFleur's 3-6 playoff record, the Hafley departure, Jonathan Gannon stepping into the DC seat, and Cameron Achord running special teams for the first time at the NFL level Gutey, Stenavich, Butkus, and the four punts in Chicago that nobody has answered for yet The Gary Pletcher lesson: the snow didn't ask if you were ready — so you don't get to ask it either.

The offseason chaos is in full swing, and Pack Daddy is here to sort through all of it. From a blockbuster Jalen Waddle trade to Packers-linked quarterback rumors, today's episode covers the NFL landscape from every angle — plus a deep dive into Green Bay's defensive tackle room and a fiery take on Wisconsin's new NIL legislation. Nazir Stackhouse Deep Dive — Ryan breaks down Stackhouse's 2025 snap data, PFF grades, and why Gannon's defense may finally unlock what the big nose tackle can do. Is he the answer, or does Gutekunst need to draft one? Anthony Richardson to Green Bay? — A reporter floated the Packers as a team to watch for the Colts QB. Ryan weighs the cost, the risk, and whether Lafleur's developmental track record makes this worth a flyer. NFL News Roundup — Waddle to Denver for a first, Fields to Kansas City, the Rams quietly tried to trade Davante Adams, the Bears are hemorrhaging DBs, and Darius Slay hangs it up. NIL Controversy — Wisconsin Assembly Bill 1034 is heading to Governor Evers' desk, and Ryan is not happy. Taxpayer money and college athlete pay — where does it end?

Pac Nation picked up the phones and packed the lines on this one. From a wild developmental B-team league concept to a Bears conspiracy theory for the ages, the After Dark crew had a lot to say about the Packers' offseason — and Ryan wasn't holding back either. A Ron from Eau Claire floats the idea of NFL teams fielding a spring practice squad league, and Ryan actually loves it — at least as a thought experiment. Same helmets, same loyalty, real development. The logistics are a nightmare, but the dream is beautiful. Beer Cheese Benny makes the case for drafting a running back while Ryan pumps the brakes — Judarian Price is the only realistic option in range, and if he's gone, the math just doesn't work. TJ from Alabama delivers a measured free agency report card: Hargrave and Franklin solid, Jonathan Gannon warmer than expected, and a definitive verdict on why LaGeria Sneed isn't the answer at corner. Randy from Minnesota drops the conspiracy of the year — is Ryan Poles secretly on the Packers' payroll? — and gives Big Sal his flowers for the Ben Johnson rant. Garrett from China, IL closes it out asking the real questions: backup QB, nose tackle depth, and whether Sky Moore is just a special teams signing dressed up as a wide receiver. Call in, Pac Nation.

Beer Cheese Benny calls in with a full multi-round mock draft for the Green Bay Packers, and Ryan breaks down every pick with PFF grades, RAS scores, and tape analysis. From a blazing fast running back out of Arkansas to a nose tackle who dominated SEC competition, Benny came prepared — and the results are more intriguing than you'd expect. Mike Washington Jr. (RB, Arkansas) — Elite RAS, 433 speed at 612/230, massive size-speed combo that fits exactly what Gutekunst looks for in a backfield piece Caleb Proctor (DT, SE Louisiana) — The small school debate is real, but his PFF grades, RAS, and tape are all elite; draws Micah Parsons comparisons in how he sheds blocks Chianti Scott (CB, Miami) — Transfer breakout with a 90 PFF grade in 2025, but age concerns and slot/safety versatility questions keep the conversation interesting Trey Zuhn III (OT, Texas A&M) — 97 pass blocking grade is almost unheard of; the center experiment is noted, though results were mixed Nick Barrett (DT, South Carolina) — True nose tackle who graded his best against Alabama, Kentucky, and Texas A&M — he rises to the moment against top competition Call in your own mock draft or prospect takes at 608-561-3243 — Ryan will add your calls directly to the scouting reports on the big board.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has questions. Serious questions. One week ago the Packers were the youngest team in the entire NFL — the whole LEAGUE — and every analyst on the planet said they needed veterans. Fine. So Gute goes out and signs a 28-year-old, a 29-year-old, and a 33-year-old in the same offseason. Sal's not mad at the players. He's mad at the whiplash. Javon Hargrave, Zaire Franklin, and Benjamin St-Juste are quality football players — Sal wants that on the record before he loses his mind The real panic: is Green Bay pivoting from a five-year rebuild to a win-now window without telling anyone? Tomek's gym membership, Gary's brother-in-law Denny's restaurant-car wash disaster, and a door-county road trip without GPS all make appearances Sal's daughter asked if the Hargrave signing was good. He sat in silence for four full seconds. She walked out. She has more peace than he does. If Gute's right and this works, Big Sal will eat every word with a fork and a napkin. But somebody better hand him a north star before November.

Ed Policy is sounding the alarm — and Pac Nation needs to understand why. The Green Bay Packers' president and CEO sat down with the Sports Business Journal to lay out a sobering reality: the NFL's explosive growth is creating a financial arms race that the league's only nonprofit franchise is uniquely ill-equipped to fight. Ryan breaks it all down and tells you why the lazy "just follow the money" takes online are completely missing the point. The scale problem nobody understands: While the Packers' $600M reserve fund sounds massive, a $10 billion NFL franchise can sell 10% equity and raise a billion dollars overnight — roughly 15x what Green Bay's entire public share sale generated It's not about coaches — it's about districts: The real threat isn't billionaire owners overpaying staff; it's SoFi Stadium's Hollywood Park development (3,000 residential units, $10B in surrounding real estate) versus Title Town's much smaller footprint Policy's three-part revenue plan: More off-season Lambeau events, expanded sponsorship/naming rights, and continued ticket price adjustments — and Ryan explains why this is transparency, not a cash grab Why shared NFL revenue may be the great equalizer: With league TV and betting revenue exploding and getting split equally, Ryan makes the case that this situation may not be as dire as the headlines suggest Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and let's keep Pac Nation growing.
