Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to react to Jordan Love being left off the NFL’s top-10 quarterback list from coaches, scouts and executives. Wilde says the list matters more than a random media ranking because it comes from league evaluators, but he still views Love as part of a crowded group just outside the clear elite tier. He explains that this season is pivotal for Love because a healthy Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden should give him a real chance to separate himself. Wilde also agrees that the Packers’ blown playoff loss to the Bears changed the national conversation around Love, just like the Cowboys win did the year before. He says if Love wins the division, wins a playoff game and puts up bigger numbers, he will not need a tiebreaker to land in the top 10 next year.

Jason Wilde joins Sunday Karma to react to Jordan Love being ranked No. 72 in the NFL Top 100. Wilde cautions against overreacting to the list’s methodology, but says Love’s touchdown numbers do need to rise if he wants to be viewed differently around the league. He also explains why Micah Parsons defending Love matters more than the ranking itself, because it shows how quickly Parsons has bought into his quarterback. Wilde then discusses Tucker Kraft’s contract outlook, saying the Packers view him as a complete, cornerstone tight end and may be willing to take on the risk of paying him after an ACL injury. The conversation wraps with Wilde pointing to Kraft, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Josh Jacobs as the offensive pieces who could help Love push toward a much bigger season.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to explain why Tucker Kraft's No. 6 ranking among NFL tight ends won't last if the Packers star stays healthy, comparing his all-around game to George Kittle and praising his unique combination of blocking, athleticism and toughness. Jason also discusses why Kraft's versatility is more valuable than gaudy receiving numbers and why Green Bay's offense is built differently than many around the league. The conversation shifts to Josh Jacobs, including his No. 74 spot in the NFL Top 100, the latest on his unresolved legal situation and why a return to Matt LaFleur's outside-zone rushing attack could unlock another big season.

Jason Wilde joins Brian Bulaga to discuss the start of Wilde’s annual ranking of the most important Packers players, beginning with Javon Hargrave at No. 20. Wilde explains why Hargrave’s age, recent team history and role in Jonathan Gannon’s defense make him both intriguing and uncertain entering the season. Bulaga adds that Hargrave’s value should extend beyond run defense, because Green Bay needs veteran voices who can calm the locker room when games start to swing. Wilde connects that to Evan Williams’ comments after the playoff loss, saying the Packers needed more maturity to handle success, adversity and late-game pressure. The conversation also highlights Zaire Franklin, Xavier McKinney, Micah Parsons and the larger question of whether Green Bay added enough experienced leadership to avoid last year’s collapses.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to react to Evan Cohen’s “sneaky hot seat” conversation around Matt LaFleur. Wilde says LaFleur’s extension does not make him completely untouchable, but he also does not expect the Packers to have a real reason to move on from him. He explains why Green Bay may have improved mostly by getting healthier, with Tucker Kraft, Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, Zach Tom and Micah Parsons all central to the team’s ceiling. Wilde also revisits how close the Packers were to a much different narrative before injuries and late-season mistakes changed the finish. The conversation closes with Wilde identifying offensive line and cornerback as the two biggest position groups that could determine whether Green Bay is truly dangerous.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to preview the biggest storylines heading into Packers training camp. He weighs in on Anthony Belton as a potential breakout player, explains why Micah Parsons elevates everyone around him, and shares the latest on Tucker Kraft's expected contract extension. Wilde also discusses Devonte Wyatt's future, Green Bay's concerns at cornerback and offensive line, and why those position groups could determine the Packers' ceiling in 2025.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle Wallace to talk through the criticism surrounding Matt LaFleur after another painful Packers playoff loss. Wilde says LaFleur deserves scrutiny, but fans should not confuse compartmentalizing a loss with not caring about it. He explains why Green Bay’s next step depends on Jordan Love elevating, the offense getting healthy, and defensive players like Edgerrin Cooper, Evan Williams and Javon Bullard becoming difference-makers. Wilde also breaks down why the Packers roster is good enough to contend for a Super Bowl, even if he still sees them as potentially a year away. The conversation ends with Wilde’s impressions of new Wisconsin athletic director Sean Eichorst and what his arrival says about the direction of Badgers athletics.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to push back on the idea that Matt LaFleur does not care enough about winning. Wilde says his recent conversation with LaFleur showed how much losses still bother him, even if players and coaches often compartmentalize pain faster than fans do. Homer argues LaFleur’s biggest issue is game management and late-game finishing, while Wilde says execution failures by players have also shaped those losses. The conversation includes Romeo Doubs’ onside kick mistake, the Bears collapse, Ben Johnson’s record against LaFleur, and whether LaFleur’s Packers have enough talent to be very good. Wilde also briefly revisits Keyshawn Nixon and agrees the Packers are asking him to do more than his ideal role.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to look ahead to Packers training camp, including the return of his annual "20 Most Important Packers" series and position-by-position previews. He discusses how many roster spots are truly up for grabs, why Green Bay's offensive line depth remains a concern, and what the team's overall roster says heading into camp. Wilde also shares why he believes offseason workouts with Micah Parsons and the leadership shown by veterans can have a meaningful impact on the Packers' young defense before camp opens.

Jason Wilde joins Ben Brust and Alex Strouf to react to Sean Eichorst’s conversation on Wilde and Tausch and what it might mean for Luke Fickell’s future at Wisconsin. Wilde says Eichorst was likely being careful not to paint himself into a corner before he truly gets to know Fickell and evaluates the football program. He explains why being from Wisconsin can help an athletic director understand the state and the university, but only matters if Eichorst can also raise and spend NIL money wisely. Wilde also discusses Micah Parsons’ leadership since joining the Packers, saying Parsons has done almost everything right so far even if the real test will come when Green Bay faces adversity. The segment closes with a lighter conversation about Evan Williams and Jayden Reed getting engaged and how Wilde handles relationships with players as a reporter.
