Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

Big Sal is back — and this time, he's got mail. Randy in Minnesota heard last episode's dead cap rant and came with a counterargument. And Randy? He's not wrong. That's what makes this so frustrating. Big Sal breaks down Randy's defense of the Gutekunst dead cap situation — acknowledging every point while explaining why "you fixed it" and "you managed it well" are two completely different things The Gary signing, the Clark extension, and the Parsons trade get examined as a full package deal — not in isolation — and the total cost is staggering: two first-rounders, $34 million in dead cap, and no room to maneuver in a contention window Big Sal draws the line clearly: trading Gary was the only logical response to a bad contract. Sweeping up rock salt in the spring doesn't mean you should've left the bag open all winter A genuine acknowledgment that 2027 could look better — and a firm declaration that until it does, the volume stays high Randy gets his respect. Gutekunst does not — not yet. Go Pack Go. #Pac
