Packernet Podcast: Daily Green Bay Packers Podcast

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in his kitchen, there's a coffee stain on his shirt, and his wife just walked past without saying a word — and Pack Nation, that silence says everything. The Green Bay Packers did not tender Emanuel Wilson. They let the angriest, most physical back on the roster walk into free agency and turned around and signed Chris Brooks for two years. And Sal cannot let that stand. Wi...

The Green Bay Packers lost one of their greatest leaders this week — Bob Harlan, the visionary President who transformed a franchise on life support into the model organization the NFL looks to for guidance. Ryan takes a moment to honor Harlan's legacy before asking a question that cuts to the heart of every Packer fan: are the current stewards of this franchise living up to what was built before...

The Pac Nation faithful called in and they're not feeling great about Green Bay right now — and honestly, neither is Ryan. From the passing of legendary Packers CEO Bob Harlan to a front office that keeps talking about "culture fits" instead of football results, this episode is a full offseason pressure cooker. Dakota (that nerd from Tennessee) sparks a passionate extended rant about the Packers'...

The combine dust is settling and the 2026 NFL Draft picture is getting clearer — and messier — by the day. In this loaded episode of the Draft Room, we tear through the biggest news and notes coming out of Indianapolis, from jaw-dropping athletic performances to the quarterback drama that just won't quit. Ty Simpson Chaos: Arizona Cardinals staffers reportedly love him, the Miami Dolphins are luke...

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up, and today's target is the Minnesota Vikings — a franchise that somehow spent $245 million in a single offseason and has absolutely nothing to show for it. Forty-three million dollars over the salary cap, nine wins, no playoffs, and a roster being dismantled piece by piece. Pull up a chair. The Grave Digger Fiasco: Jevon Hargrave — $30 million, two sacks in Week 1...

The NFL offseason is heating up and Ryan is breaking down everything that matters — from a blockbuster trade that signals just how expensive this market is getting, to a Packers draft prospect who literally gave scouts his own perfect comp. The Rams sent a 2026 first, fifth, and sixth to Kansas City for 25-year-old Trent McDuffie — Ryan breaks down why it's an all-in move that actually makes sense...

NFL executives weighed in on the 2026 Draft's top 10 — and the results are messier than anyone expected. Ryan breaks down the Athletic's executive mock draft, where four front-office insiders couldn't even agree past pick three, and the debate over Cam Mendoza at one is more unsettled than the consensus wants you to believe. Executive Mock Breakdown: All four execs lock in Mendoza-Reese-Bailey in...

Big Sal from Peshtigo is fired up — and this time he didn't even finish his wife's chili. The Washington Commanders just cut Tyler Biadasz, a Badger-born Pro Bowl center from Amherst, Wisconsin, and if Brian Gutekunst isn't already on the phone, Big Sal is personally driving to Green Bay. Biadasz's full résumé: Remington Trophy winner at Wisconsin, blocked for Jonathan Taylor, started all 17 games...

The NFL offseason is absolutely on fire — and the Packers are just sitting there saying "it's fine." Ryan breaks down a jam-packed day of NFC North news while Green Bay remains mysteriously quiet on all fronts. Minnesota's salary cap nightmare exposed: Jonathan Grenard trade rumors, Hargrave's release, and a roster full of aging veterans that could gut their vaunted defense before the season even...

  The calls are coming in hot on Packernet After Dark, and tonight's show covers some of the biggest questions hanging over the Packers heading into free agency and the draft. From the Romeo Doubs contract debate to a deep dive on Brian Gutekunst's drafting track record, the fan base is fired up — and they're not holding back. Romeo Doubs at $12M — worth it or salary cap poison? Chris from Alabama...

Two massive storylines emerged from the NFL Combine, and we're cutting through the noise on both. First up — Caleb Downs got flagged with a partially torn meniscus and a degenerative ACL, and the internet lost its mind. But what does "degenerative" actually mean, and should you be worried? We break down the medical terminology, compare it to past prospects like Jonathan Vilma, Todd Gurley, and Jay...

The NFL offseason just kicked into overdrive, and somehow the Packers are the only team standing still. Ryan rips through a massive news day — trades, cuts, contract extensions, and combine rumors flying from every direction — while Green Bay sits quietly with a ticking salary cap clock and a shrinking window to act. Rich Bisaccia officially heads to Clemson, and a new Tyler Dunn report reveals th...

Big Sal hasn't even finished his second cup of coffee and he's already screaming at the TV. Every talking head on NFL Network is losing their mind over Arkansas QB Taylen Green — 4.36 forty, 43.5-inch vertical, six-foot-six and 227 pounds of pure athletic spectacle. But Big Sal has one question: can the kid actually play quarterback? Taylen Green went 2-10 at Arkansas with 11 interceptions, a 38.6...

The callers came hot tonight, and Ryan matched their energy with a legendary rant that will make every Packer fan who ever screamed "we should have drafted that guy" sit down and be quiet. From an epic takedown of draft hindsight bias to real talk about leadership concerns in Green Bay, this one hits different. Ryan goes scorched earth on draft cherry-picking, pulling receipts from the 2020 class...

The combine just reshuffled the entire top of the draft board, and we're breaking down every bit of it. Todd McShay is now floating Sonny Styles as high as number two to the Jets after a Mount Rushmore-level athletic performance, and the gap between Styles and Arvell Reese is suddenly a real conversation. Meanwhile, Ty Simpson went from falling out of the first round to generating top-10 buzz, wit...

Big Sal is up at six in the morning, coffee in hand, absolutely losing his mind — and for good reason. The Minnesota Vikings are cutting Aaron Jones, the third-leading rusher in Packers franchise history, and Sal is not about to let Green Bay pass on this opportunity twice. Why the Vikings dumping Jones is the football equivalent of Sal's buddy Gino selling his cherry-red '72 Nova for pennies on t...

Mock Draft Monday takes a whole new angle this week as we dig into the athletic benchmarks and physical profiles the Packers have historically favored at every position — then build an entire mock draft around them. Using combine data going back to 2018, we compare Green Bay's draft tendencies against NFL averages to find the prospects who truly fit the Packers' DNA. Deep dive into Packers combine...

Ryan and the After Dark crew get into it on a night where the frustrations are running high and the callers aren't holding back. From the Cameron Achord special teams hire to Matt LaFleur's maddening habit of going conservative with a lead, nothing is off limits — and the phone lines are loaded with takes. Uncle Rico kicks things off breaking down the Achord hire and why the new special teams coor...

Day three of the NFL Combine just delivered some of the most jaw-dropping athletic performances in recent memory, and we're breaking all of it down. From a 6'6" quarterback running Michael Vick speed to a running back posting a perfect RAS score and breaking down in tears, this class is rewriting what we thought was physically possible at these positions. Taylor Green clocked a 4.36 forty at 6'6"...

Big Sal hasn't even had his coffee yet and he's already doing salary cap math at six in the morning — and Packers Nation, he is NOT happy. After Gutekunst's post-playoff presser about bringing everybody back, Sal is grabbing the scissors and making the cuts himself. 🔥 Rashaan Gary's $28 million cap hit under the microscope: seven and a half sacks, ALL in the first seven games, then complete silen...

Big Sal is fired up and he is not holding back. The Green Bay Packers just named Cam Achord their new special teams coordinator and the numbers tell a brutal story. One elite season in New England back in twenty-twenty followed by four straight years of decline, a dead last D V O A ranking, blocked punts, kick return touchdowns, and two organizations that showed him the door without blinking. Mean...

The phones are ringing and Packer Nation is fired up. Tonight's After Dark dives deep into the growing anxiety around this roster — from Brian Gutekunst's drafting track record to the bombshell NFLPA player survey that has Ryan seeing red about the coaching staff narrative we've all been fed. Callers and Ryan hash out the butterfly effect of recent draft decisions, including the Van Ness over JSN...

Kenyan Sadiq just shattered Vernon Davis's 20-year-old tight end 40-yard dash record, Dylan Thenaman put together one of the most dominant safety workouts in years, and this combine is rewriting draft boards in real time. Today's Draft Room breaks it all down. Drew from Green Bay kicks things off with a deep dive on why the edge class is full of traps and why linebacker depth could be the smarter...

The NFLPA report cards are out, and the results confirm what many Packers fans have felt in their gut for a long time — this coaching staff has a credibility problem. Ryan dives deep into every category of the 2026 report cards, breaking down where Green Bay ranks among all 32 teams, and the picture isn't pretty for a franchise that prides itself on being "first class." The Packers ranked just 21s...

The callers came with heat tonight and we matched every bit of it. From a wild Bisaccia payout conspiracy theory to a full breakdown of why the Packers' obsession with explosive plays is built on a logical fallacy, this episode covers the uncomfortable questions Green Bay's front office refuses to answer. Uncle Rico kicks off the offensive line debate — bigger doesn't have to mean less athletic, a...
