Aaron Banks is on the outside looking in, Keyshawn Nixon is playing the victim again, and Tucker Kraft just reminded everyone who really runs this offense. Training camp day 13 delivered some spicy Matt LaFleur comments, more of the same from Keyshawn, and a clear signal that the Packers' tight end is the engine of the entire attack. Matt LaFleur's comments on Jagger Burton and Jacob Monk put real heat on Aaron Banks, and the body language said even more than the words Keyshawn Nixon's latest press availability was peak "I'm being punished" energy, and LaFleur's response only made it more awkward Tucker Kraft's first team reps back looked like he never left, and the usage made it obvious this is his offense right now Bonus notes on seven receivers, Josh Jacobs practicing, the second-kicker talk, and why Donovan Jennings deserves a real look This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The Packers paid a whole lot of money to free agent G Aaron Banks last offseason and he was just put on a dubious list by a member of the national media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Packers second-year wide receiver had another busy practice Tuesday, catching a bunch of passes at Training Camp Practice No. 13. It continues to feel like a breakout season is inevitable for No. 0. Meanwhile, Aaron Banks and Carrington Valentine returned to do 11-on-11 work at practice, while running back Josh Jacobs returned to practice from a groin injury. Oh, and tight end Tucker Kraft had the play of the day with a one-handed grab up the seam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tucker Kraft is back with the ones, the pads are popping, and the Packers just delivered their most intense practice of the summer. From a quiet QB release to multiple scuffles and a couple of scary injury moments that thankfully looked better by the end, this was a day full of real camp energy and meaningful developments. Matt LaFleur on why Kyron Drones was released, Kyle McCord's clear separation, and what it means for the QB room Tyron Hopper named the most improved linebacker (unprompted), Marshawn Lloyd's patience issues, and Aaron Banks' sudden availability Full practice notes: Kraft's big first day back, fights between Franklin/Brooks and McClellan/Glover, Oladapo picks, Watson and Morgan injury scares that cleared up, and the evolving depth chart on both lines This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Packers kicker Trey Smack was the highlight of the team's first preseason game of the season Thursday night in Pittsburgh. However, the headline Friday is left guard Aaron Banks ... after head coach Matt LaFleur had an interesting question when asked about that position on the offensive line. We discuss Smack and Banks, as well as Jonathan Gannon's aggressive approach to the first Preseason game with positive showings from Lukas Van Ness and Brandon Cisse, but more concerns about Keisean Nixon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The dead season is officially over — training camp has arrived, and Ryan's back with plenty to unpack. He breaks down the Packers' reported $1.1 million operating loss and explains why the real story ($132.5 million in net income, up 54.8%) tells a very different picture than the sky-is-falling narrative being pushed by Florio and others. Ryan contextualizes the expense spike with the Micah Parsons signing and the Kenny Clark write-off, pushes back on Ed Policy's repeated alarm-ringing, and comes away cautiously optimistic about the franchise's financial path forward. - Packers' operating loss vs. net income: $753M revenue, $754.1M in people expenses, but $132.5M net income once investment gains and the NFL/ESPN media deal are factored in - Why the Micah Parsons signing ($44M bonus, $136M guaranteed) and Kenny Clark's accelerated cap charge drove the 18.7% expense spike — a one-time hit, not a trend - Ed Policy's repeated financial warnings: strategic pressure on the NFL or genuine alarm? Ryan argues it's the former, and Policy's refusal to sell Lambeau naming rights backs that up - NFL Owners Meeting recap: Bob Harlan's name goes on the northeast facade at halftime of the Oct. 29 Panthers game; LaFleur, Gutekunst, and Russ Ball extensions confirmed - PUP list breakdown: Tucker Kraft, Aaron Banks, Kamal Haddon, Javan Hargrave, Luke Musgrave placed on PUP; RB Chris Brooks on NFI; plus a full rundown of PUP rules and the new 2026 reserve PUP practice window - Breaking non-Packers news: Eric Bieniemy's wife Mia shot at their Virginia home by the couple's son; Ryan covers the story with appropriate gravity We're back, baby.

Former Hinds County Asst. D.A Shaun Yurtkuran joins me for an emergency livestream to discuss the fallout and what's next after the shocking guilty plea from sitting Hinds County D.A Jody Owens, what is next for Chokwe Lumumba & Aaron Banks?
**Podcast Description – Episode #1245** On this episode, Clay reacts to the shocking news that Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens has taken a plea deal in the Jackson Convention Center bribery scandal just two weeks before trial. Owens pleaded guilty to conspiracy and faces a maximum of five years, a move that caught many off guard given his earlier insistence that he would go to trial. Clay is joined by a strong legal panel: Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County ADA turned criminal defense attorney), Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com, and Scott Gilbert, a veteran criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor who recently secured a major federal win. Together they break down the plea deal, what Owens likely gave up in exchange for cooperation, and how this move strengthens the government's case against the remaining defendants — former Jackson mayor Chokwe Lumumba and former city councilman Aaron Banks. The conversation covers the strength of the evidence (audio, video, money trails), why this was likely the best outcome Owens could realistically get, and what it means for the upcoming trial. They also discuss the broader issues of public corruption prosecutions, deterrence versus community protection, and why results in the courtroom often don't serve as a deterrent to future crime. It's a raw, in-depth look at one of the biggest political corruption cases in Mississippi in years.
Pack Nation, Big Sal is breaking down the single biggest question mark on the entire Green Bay Packers roster: Aaron Banks and his $77 million contract. After a injury-plagued first year where he played just 57% of snaps and battled back, ankle, groin, and knee issues, 2026 is the ultimate prove-it season for the veteran guard. Banks' early-season struggles vs. his late-season dominance, including a standout Wild Card performance against the Bears The massive dead money implications ($36+ million) and why the Packers are all-in with no escape hatch How one healthy, consistent season from #65 could transform the offensive line, protect Jordan Love, and unlock the entire offense for Josh Jacobs and the passing game The high-stakes gamble of premium free agent money and what it means for Love's prime years This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan breaks down Day 2 of mandatory minicamp live from Green Bay. Jordan Love uncorks a 70-yard bomb to Jaden Reed, Javon Bullard picks off a fade to Christian Watson, and the young corners continue to battle. Plus updates on Luke Musgrave's injury timeline, the ongoing Aaron Banks saga, Deni Dennis Sutton's pressure, and why the safety duo of Williams and McKinney is the one thing we don't have to worry about.

The off season is over. Brian Gutekunst made his moves. Big Sal has grades. Free agency gets a B minus — Javan Hargrave was sharp, Benjamin St. Juste was necessary, Skymore on returns was overdue. But Sal isn't handing out gold stars for cleaning up your own mess. The Aaron Banks restructure and the Nate Hobbs disaster are on the same ledger, and you don't get credit for both sides of that equation. Extensions get an A minus. Jaden Reed locked up, Sean Clifford rewarded for improvement, Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft still coming. Trades land at C plus (Rashan Gary) and B (Zaire Franklin). And the draft — six picks, the fewest of Gutekunst's entire tenure — might be the best class he's ever run. Brandon Cise, Chris McClellan, Dennis Sutton at 120 (Sal calls it stolen), Trey Smack. The man stopped stockpiling and started building. Big picture: this team is better at linebacker, corner, defensive interior, and special teams than the one that walked off the field in Chicago down 21-3 and somehow still lost. Overall grade: B plus. Would've been an A if last year's wreckage wasn't still in the rear view.

Later, attorney and WYAB host Sean Yurtkuran joins the show to break down the latest major development in the federal corruption case involving the “Free the Land Three” — Hinds County DA Jody Owens, former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Aaron Banks. The judge has now combined all three defendants into one trial. Clay and Sean discuss how this affects their defenses, why Chokwe Lumumba's arguments were rejected, and what this could mean for potential plea deals or cooperation.
**Clay Edwards Show – Mister Buddy's Passing, The Free the Land Three Trial Update & Sean Yurtkuran Joins (Ep #1218)** Clay opens the show with heavy news — longtime caller and fan favorite Mister Buddy passed away over the weekend. He plays one of Buddy's most memorable calls where he went scorched earth on convicted child murderer and pedophile Daniel Callahan, then shares a message from Buddy's son Gabe and asks listeners to donate to the Little Lighthouse in lieu of flowers.

Ryan goes deep on a post-mortem of the 2025 Green Bay Packers offense — and what he finds is even worse than memory suggests. There was exactly one game all season where the Packers got close to full strength on offense (Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh), and even that came without Jaden Reed and with a rotating right guard. Every other week was a new patch job.

In this episode of PackersNow, Ben Kurkowski breaks down a wild start to Packers free agency and reacts to all the biggest moves shaping Green Bay's roster.The episode starts with the Rashan Gary saga, from the confusing social media drama to the Packers ultimately trading him to the Cowboys for a 2027 4th round pick. Ben explains why getting something back matters, but also why the Packers may still regret missing a much bigger opportunity to land T'Vondre Sweat.From there, Ben dives into the Packers' defensive overhaul, including the addition of Javon Hargrave, the signing of Jonathan Ford, and the trade that sent Colby Wooden out while bringing in linebacker Zaire Franklin. Was Franklin the right move, or did the Packers overpay for a player they could have waited out?On offense, the Packers made major changes up front by re-signing Sean Rhyan and cutting Elgton Jenkins, signaling a clear long term plan for the offensive line. Ben breaks down the upside of Rhyan at center, the concerns with the Aaron Banks commitment, and why Green Bay may have missed a chance to get value back for Jenkins.The episode also covers several under-the-radar moves Ben really likes, including:Benjamin St. Juste signing at cornerSkyy Moore as a low risk return and slot optionThe return of key depth and special teams pieces like Darian Kinnard, Chris Brooks, Kristian Welch, Nick Niemann, and Brenton CoxFinally, Ben explains how all of these moves impact the Packers' compensatory pick formula, and why Green Bay may still be in position to load up for the 2027 NFL Draft.A crazy few days, a ton of roster movement, and a full breakdown of what it all means for the Packers moving forward.

In this explosive episode, Clay kicks things off with a wild “Only in Jackson” story that perfectly captures the chaos: a man in a wheelchair is struck by two separate cars, both drivers uninsured, leading to his death. Clay breaks down what this says about local realities and why maxed-out insurance isn't optional in Mississippi. Caller Chris Hinkle sparks a heated debate on the new NIL tax exemption for college athletes. Clay and Chris compare it to the state's $5,000 teacher pay raises and the slow-walked income-tax elimination, questioning where Mississippi's true priorities lie—education or SEC competitiveness? Next, the feds file a motion to move the massive Jackson bribery trial out of Hinds County or dramatically expand the jury pool. Clay explains why prosecutors are worried about sympathetic jurors and what it means for DA Jody Owens, former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and ex-councilman Aaron Banks. The second hour features guest Andrew Gasser for a no-holds-barred deep dive into the newly released four-and-a-half-hour Clinton deposition in the Epstein files. Bill Clinton clears Trump, drops bombshell travel details, and the pair dissect Hillary's reactions, the “Frazzle Drip” questions, single-issue voters, and why real accountability still matters more than ever. Raw, unfiltered, and zero filler—this is the Clay Edwards Show at its best. Download now and join the conversation.
The Packers are heading into the offseason with the worst offensive line of the PFF era, and Ryan isn't buying what Brian Gutekunst is selling. Today's episode dives deep into the numbers behind Aaron Banks' career — and the data tells a very different story than the GM's glowing endorsement at the combine. A full PFF breakdown of Aaron Banks' career grades reveals a player who has never cracked the top 20 at his position, despite his massive contract and $9.5 million roster bonus looming on day three of the league year Ryan challenges the Packers' philosophical shift toward bigger, stronger offensive linemen, arguing the team has historically dominated with smaller, athletic technicians — and the power approach has produced nothing but failure Combine day one highlights including Florida kicker Trey Smack drilling a 60-yarder after getting iced, plus quick hits on Aaron Rodgers' timeline, Tyler Linderbaum's market-setting deal, and the Brian Thomas trade rumors Early clues on Jeff Gannon's defensive scheme suggest a 3-4 base with nickel principles — and why that's actually exciting news for Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary Is the front office in denial, or do they see something the stats don't?

What would an NFL team look like if the fans were actually in charge? Just look at the Jets. Tonight's callers light the fuse on one of the most cathartic rants of the offseason, connecting irrational fandom to the worst owners in football and exposing why their teams never win. TJ from Alabama delivers the perfect proof of concept: the New York Jets are what happens when fan logic runs the show, and Ryan connects the dots to meddling owners like David Tepper, Woody Johnson, Jimmy Haslam, and Michael Bidwell The crew goes scorched earth on draft fan accountability — fans predict bust after bust, never own it, then take a victory lap the one time they're right Garrett from Southern Illinois asks the big question: what's Gutey's next aggressive move after the Micah Parsons blockbuster, and does Sullivan leaving for Miami create an intel problem? Drew from Green Bay brings roster-building reality — you can't cut four starting offensive linemen and expect to field a team, plus the Aaron Banks contract dilemma Bears fans and writers are already insufferable about Getsy, and Jordan Love still can't get top-10 respect despite years of proving doubters wrong Call in and join the conversation: 608-501-0718. New callers go to the front of the line. And yes, the offseason grilling content is coming — chicken thighs, pork belly burnt ends, and rice for days. #Packers #PackerNetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #GoPackGo #NFL #MicahParsons #NFLDraft #PackerNation This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan dives deep into the Packers' salary cap situation, rolling up his sleeves with Spotrac's roster tool to map out Green Bay's 2026 financial picture move by move. The results? A lot more encouraging than the clickbait headlines suggest. The episode walks through major roster decisions including the frustrating Aaron Banks situation and his absurd $25 million cap hit, the tough but necessary release of Elton Jenkins, and a creative Josh Jacobs extension that buys flexibility now while setting up an exit later. Ryan also projects contract extensions for Christian Watson ($27M/year) and Tucker Craft ($16M/year), re-signs key free agents like Quay Walker, Kingsley Enagbare, and Emmanuel Wilson, and lands the roster at a healthy $23 million in cap space. Ryan also dismantles a widely-shared Yahoo Sports article ranking the Packers 25th in cap flexibility, explaining why "simple restructure capacity" is a nearly useless metric that tells fans almost nothing about actual financial health. The bigger takeaway: the NFL's ballooning salary cap is changing free agency forever, and smart teams should invest in the draft and trades rather than overpaying in a bloated market.

Malik Willis just posted a 96 PFF grade with a 100% adjusted completion rate, and now we have to talk about the elephant in the room. Today we dive deep into the complete PFF breakdown from Week 17 while addressing the quarterback conversation that's dividing Packers nation. Malik Willis delivers a historic performance: 18-of-21, 288 yards, 130+ passer rating, and an 87 rushing grade to match his 93 passing grade The offensive line nightmare continues with Aaron Banks posting a 15 pass blocking grade and Sean Ryan at 23.5—the worst performances of the season Jordan Morgan emerges as a bright spot at right tackle with an 80 overall grade, signaling the future tackle combination Breaking down the Jordan Love contract reality: why a $100 million dead cap makes any trade virtually impossible before 2028 Kamal Haddon and Jordan Riley suffer season-ending injuries as the defense struggles with 11 missed tackles and alignment issues We explore every angle of the Malik situation—from compensatory picks to contract implications—and explain why this incredible quarterback is almost certainly walking out the door this offseason.

The Packers find themselves in a position they never should have been in. After a brutal loss to the Bears that saw both Jordan Love and Malik Willis leave with injuries, Green Bay's playoff hopes now hang by a thread. With only two offensive players grading above 70 and eleven below average on defense, this was one of the ugliest PFF performances of the season—and it came at the worst possible time. Ryan dives deep into the film, calling out the offensive line struggles that continue to plague this team, particularly Aaron Banks' dismal 45 overall grade. The defense wasn't any better, with zero players earning a 70 or higher in coverage. Meanwhile, Rashan Gary led the team with four pressures while Lucas Van Ness showed promise with a 17.6% pressure rate. The only silver lining? The Lions' playoff probability has plummeted to 6%, needing the Packers to completely collapse while they win out. Looking ahead to a crucial Week 17 matchup against Baltimore, both teams face serious quarterback uncertainty as Lamar Jackson deals with a significant back contusion. The path to the playoffs is simple: win one game. The question is whether this battered team can rise to the occasion. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

In this raw breakdown, Ryan Schlipp unleashes a deep dive into the Green Bay Packers' offensive line struggles, pulling no punches on why it's one of the worst in team history and a massive roadblock to success. Backed by PFF data from 2006 to now, he exposes the shocking lows in run and pass blocking that are squandering Jordan Love's elite play and Josh Jacobs' potential. If you're a Packers fan tired of the hype, this episode lays out the brutal truth on coaching missteps and draft failures that could derail the season. Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom hold their own, but Aaron Banks, Sean Ryan, and Anthony Belton rank as some of the worst performers in 20 years of Packers data – with Belton dead last in both run and pass blocking. Historic comparisons reveal how shuffling positions for versatile players like Elton Jenkins and Jordan Morgan has backfired, turning potential stars into patchwork fixes. Bold take: The offensive line's catastrophic state isn't just average – it's panic-worthy, hindering the run game and pressuring Love more than any Packers QB in decades. Tease on fixes: Immediate changes needed at guard and center, plus a rant on why free agents like Xavier McKinney shine while drafts hollow out the trenches.
