Packernet After Dark: A Toast to Bob Harlan and the Soul of This Franchise

It's another late night in the Packernet studio and the Pac Nation phone lines are jumping. Ryan breaks down the Miami Dolphins' full-scale teardown — trading away Jalen Waddle for draft capital while sitting on over $100 million in dead cap money — and why the new regime has zero emotional attachment to the guys they're moving on from. The big conversation of the night, though, is the one that's been rattling around since Ed Policy opened his mouth: can the Green Bay Packers stay financially competitive in a league that's rapidly evolving around them? Ryan lays out a compelling argument that the Packers' best friend isn't a naming rights deal — it's the NFL's own explosive revenue growth. The bigger the shared revenue pie, the more Green Bay stays on even footing with stadium districts and concert venues they simply can't build.
