Is Rashan Gary delusional — or is the Packers front office?

In this must-hear segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde joins the show to break down one of the most uncomfortable questions of the Packers’ offseason: what exactly is going on with Rashan Gary?

030526 JGC Hour 1

Gary publicly referred to himself as “great.” But after finishing the season with no sacks in his final 11 games and facing a $28 million cap hit, the debate has intensified.

🏈 The Production Problem

Jason lays it out clearly:

Four-and-a-half sacks in the first three games.

Two against Aaron Rodgers.

Then nothing for the rest of the year.

While pressures were cited, even the Packers’ own bios don’t support some of the inflated numbers floating around.

The question becomes simple:

Is he still elite — or living off a reputation?

🧠 The Effort Question

Jason reveals something significant:

Multiple former NFL players told him there is “ample evidence” that Gary does not give full effort on every snap.

That’s not something analysts say lightly.

Chewy has long hinted at loafing.

Jason confirms that former players see it too.

And when Matt LaFleur was asked whether Gary was playing through injury, his answer was a flat:

“No.”

No hedge. No protection.

That matters.

💰 The Cap Reality

There are only three realistic outcomes:

Leave his contract untouched (unlikely).

Ask him to take a legitimate pay cut with incentives.

Restructure with void years and push money forward.

If they guarantee existing money and don’t ask for a haircut?

Jason admits he’ll have serious questions about the front office’s thinking.

Because sometimes GMs hang onto “their guys” too long.

🧱 The Leadership Void

Since Kenny Clark was traded, Jason notes something subtle:

Players talk about Clark as “unk.”

They don’t talk about Gary the same way.

Leadership perception matters in locker rooms.

⚖️ The Bottom Line

This isn’t panic.

But it’s real.

If Rashan Gary won’t take a pay cut — and if effort concerns are legitimate — the Packers have to decide whether pride or production wins.

And Brian Gutekunst’s next move will say a lot about whether he’s willing to admit he might have been wrong.
