The Interviews

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.

🎧 A fast-moving insider look at quarterback chaos, market leverage, and billion-dollar ownership moves — with Adam Schefter on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Mike McCarthy--Former Green Bay Packers Super Bowl champion and new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers--joins Wilde and Tausch.

Jason Wilde drops by Jen, Gabe & Chewy and the conversation starts with why Green Bay’s current projection up front is the biggest red-flag position group on the roster, how the Bears loss exposed protection cracks when pressure finally showed up, and why the Packers don’t have their usual “next guy ready” safety net. From tough calls on veterans, to the center dilemma, to draft targets (including Iowa’s Logan Jones getting the Bulaga seal of approval), Wilde makes the case that the line needs real answers, not vibes.

And yes, special teams still get their spotlight: Wilde reacts to the post-Bisaccia hunt and even pitches a wild-card replacement candidate with an Army-to-Iraq-helicopter-pilot resume… because if you can fly missions over Iraq, you can probably figure out punt returns.

Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to break down Rich Bisaccia stepping down as the Packers’ special teams coordinator and associate head coach. Schefter reveals Bisaccia had considered leaving last year, explains why veteran coaches across the league are stepping away, and why late February is an unusual, but manageable, time for a coaching change.

The conversation dives into whether Green Bay should be concerned, how quickly Bisaccia could land another job, and what options the Packers realistically have with the coaching carousel nearly complete. Schefter also weighs in on where “culture” really comes from inside an NFL organization and whether the Packers’ youth movement needs more veteran presence to get to the next level.

Plus, a look ahead to the NFL Combine — why fewer coaches are attending, how the event has evolved, and what it means for teams like the Packers moving forward.

The Milwaukee Bucks have won five of their last six games — and Craig Karmazin is not interested in tanking.

In this Craig Karmazin segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the Bucks minority owner explains why he believes competing — even in a complicated season — is the right move for the franchise, for Giannis, and for the NBA as a whole.

021326 JGC Hour 2

🏀 Why Tanking Isn’t the Answer

With fans debating lottery positioning and draft odds, Craig makes his stance clear:

The Bucks shouldn’t tank.

He points out:

Nearly a third of the NBA appears to be “not trying to win”

That’s bad for fans paying for tickets

It’s bad for the league’s credibility

And it’s not what championship organizations do

Craig argues that Giannis himself embodies that mindset — choosing to compete rather than shut it down when he easily could have.

🧠 You Can Win Without Tanking

Craig references franchise history to make his case:

Giannis wasn’t the No. 2 pick — Jabari Parker was.

The Bucks won a championship without Parker — and without getting value back for him.

His takeaway:

You don’t have to bottom out to win.

The franchise built a title team through development, trades, and bold decisions — not just draft position.

⚖️ The Ownership Reality

The conversation also gets candid about NBA finances.

After the Jazz were fined $500,000 for overt tanking, Craig explains how ownership works:

Fines ultimately impact the organization’s bottom line

Minority owners receive capital calls when the team runs losses

Luxury tax and second apron spending create real financial pressure

It’s a reminder that decisions about tanking and competing aren’t just strategic — they’re financial.

🔥 Giannis Sets the Tone

Craig believes Giannis deserves credit for not choosing the easy path.

In a season where:

Draft positioning could improve

Health risks could justify shutting it down

Giannis has continued to push for wins.

Craig sees that as leadership — and as a signal that the Bucks should follow suit.

🏁 The Bottom Line

Craig Karmazin’s stance is firm:

Compete.

Respect the game.

Respect the fans.

Trust that winning culture matters more than lottery odds.

Whether it works this season or not, the Bucks are choosing competitiveness over cynicism — and Craig believes that’s the right call.

Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk about the Packers and his takeaways from the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, including the HEAT he received for saying Sam Darnold is now BETTER than Jordan Love! They also explore a theoretical trade for Love that would allow the Packers to replace him with the cheaper Malik Willis -- would he provide a better VALUE at QB? Can Packers fans trust their "good but not great" Big Three of Love, Matt LaFleur & Gutey, do the Packers feel like they're stuck as an "almost" team, and do Packers fans currently see any scenario where they win the Super Bowl next year? Evan wraps up giving his advice for newly-announced expecting father Matt Hamilton!

Spring training is almost here — and for the Milwaukee Brewers, that means questions. A lot of them.

In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show to break down what camp will look like in Arizona, including the biggest mystery of all: who’s playing third base?

021126 JGC Hour 1

With pitchers and catchers reporting soon and single-game tickets about to go on sale, the optimism of a new season is building — but the roster still has unanswered spots.

⚾ The Third Base Competition

Levering acknowledges the reality:

Seven different Brewers played third base last season. Only one remains on the roster — and he logged just one inning there.

This spring will determine:

Whether a new face claims the job

If the Brewers lean internal

Or if flexibility becomes the default strategy again

It’s one of the most open competitions on the roster, and Levering expects it to be one of the most interesting battles of camp.

🔄 Life After Freddie Peralta

The conversation also turns to the Freddie Peralta trade, and whether Milwaukee moved him at the right time.

Levering believes the Brewers likely got the best deal they could, noting the return mirrors what they previously netted for Corbin Burnes — young, controllable talent with major-league upside.

The debate isn’t whether Peralta was valuable — it’s whether waiting would have produced a better return. Levering leans toward decisive action over deadline uncertainty.

🧩 Replacing Versatility & Depth

Another quiet but important loss: Andrew Monasterio’s utility role.

Levering explains why that final infield/bench spot matters more than fans realize:

Late-inning defensive flexibility

Pinch-running ability

First-base coverage in tight games

Defensive substitutions under Pat Murphy’s system

Spring training will determine who fills that gap — and it’s a bigger job than it appears on paper.

🌵 Camp Energy & Expectations

Levering shares his excitement about heading to Arizona, noting:

A mostly stable core roster

A few new faces to integrate

High expectations internally despite external skepticism

The Brewers aren’t rebuilding — they’re recalibrating.

And in Milwaukee, recalibrating usually means competing.

⚖️ The Bottom Line

The Brewers enter spring training with:

Stability in the rotation

Questions on the left side of the infield

A clubhouse built around continuity and culture

The roster isn’t fully defined — and that’s what makes February compelling.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Super Bowl week in San Francisco to break down the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason — and it all starts with the quarterback market.

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.
