Jen, Gabe, and Chewy dig into several Packers roster questions with Jason Wilde, starting with Green Bay’s decision to pick up Lukas Van Ness’s fifth-year option. Jason explains that the move is less about past production and more about projected upside, with the Packers betting that Van Ness can still grow into a much more impactful pass rusher. The crew compares that decision to past first-rounders, discusses why the price is still manageable at a premium position, and debates whether Van Ness is set up for a breakout now that Micah Parsons will draw so much attention on the other side.

The conversation also turns to the Packers’ edge depth overall, including how much confidence the team has in younger players like Baron Sorrell, Colin Oliver, Deny Dennis-Sutton, and Brenton Cox. Jason breaks down why Green Bay may view the fifth-year option as both an upside swing and an insurance policy while those younger rushers continue to develop.

Later in the hour, the group shifts to the running back room, with Jason weighing in on whether the Packers truly believe MarShawn Lloyd can be the answer behind Josh Jacobs. While Lloyd’s talent and explosiveness still intrigue the organization, his injury history makes it difficult to count on him. That leads to a broader conversation about whether Green Bay still needs to add another body for competition and how much trust they can realistically place in Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and the current depth options heading into camp.
