Green & Gold Fix

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.

🏈 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.

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.

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.

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.
