Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Homer to discuss why Green Bay’s offseason moves may point more toward a serious Packers run in 2027 than a Super Bowl push in 2026. Wilde agrees with Homer that moving forward with rookie kicker Trey Smack, combined with Micah Parsons’ uncertain return timeline, makes this season feel like part of a longer build. He explains that Parsons may not be ready until later than some fans expect, which could cost Green Bay early wins and affect the NFC North race. Wilde also says Jordan Love has a major opportunity this year if the offensive line holds up and his healthy weapons help him take another step. The conversation closes with Packers roster talk around Keyshawn Nixon, Anthony Belton, Jager Burton and Zach Tom’s recovery.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim! First he gives his best media mistake stories before lending his perspective on Jordan Love's continual snubs from offseason ranking lists, discusses his leadership style, how he motivates the offense, and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to discuss why Jordan Love continues to be viewed just outside the NFL's elite quarterbacks despite strong underlying metrics. Wilde explains what Love must accomplish in 2026 to firmly establish himself among the league's top signal callers, while debating the value of analytics versus the eye test. He also shares why the Packers' supporting cast and improved offensive production could help elevate Love's numbers this season. Plus, Wilde reacts to Edgerrin Cooper being recognized as one of the NFL's top off-ball linebackers and explains why Packers fans should be excited about Cooper's ceiling.

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.

Jason Wilde joins Brian Bulaga and Homer to debate what would qualify as a successful Packers season. Wilde says he expects Green Bay to be in the playoff mix, but believes a true step forward requires winning a postseason game and showing progress beyond another early exit. He and Bulaga identify the biggest concerns on the roster, including cornerback, pass rush, the offensive line and Zach Tom’s recovery from his patellar tendon injury. Wilde also explains why 2027 may line up better as Green Bay’s true Super Bowl window, even if the Packers could still arrive earlier than expected.

Jason Wilde joins Ben Brust and Homer after the U.S. soccer team advances despite a controversial red card. Wilde says replay should exist to get calls right, but the system only works when it is properly administered and not overthought in slow motion. The conversation expands into football, basketball and baseball officiating, including the Fail Mary, college basketball replay and whether sports should rely more heavily on technology. Wilde also reflects on Wisconsin’s 2015 national title loss to Duke and how legendary coaches can influence officials.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to evaluate the Packers' offseason, explaining why a B+ grade feels fair while still raising concerns about Green Bay's cornerback room and offensive line depth. He also weighs in on the Dontayvion Wicks trade, the team's veteran additions, and what to expect from Brian Gutekunst's offseason moves. The conversation then shifts to Jordan Love, where Jason explains why he believes Love is already a very good quarterback—but says this is the season he needs to prove he can become a truly great one and lead the Packers into Super Bowl contention.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to debate whether Team USA’s World Cup match or Jacob Misiorowski’s next Brewers start matters more before turning to the Packers. Wilde explains why he is not focused on Micah Parsons yet, noting Parsons has said he is not cleared for football activities until the nine-month mark of his recovery. He also breaks down Green Bay’s cornerback situation, praising Keyshawn Nixon and Carrington Valentine for outperforming expectations while acknowledging the Packers still lack a true number one corner. Wilde and Homer then discuss the Bucks after Giannis’ exit, how some fans may be ready for what comes next, and why Aaron Rodgers’ departure made Jordan Love’s transition easier. The segment closes with Wilde reflecting on the old Rodgers show, why it worked, and why he remains proud of the way those interviews were handled.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim to discuss UW reportedly hiring Shawn Eichorst as their next AD, whether his connection to Barry Alvarez is a positive or negative thing, give a quick but notable update on the Josh Jacobs' situation, discuss Packers contracts, and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Homer to talk through Keyshawn Nixon’s role as the Packers’ number one cornerback and why criticism of Nixon misses the bigger issue. Wilde explains that Nixon has outperformed expectations, but Green Bay’s lack of a true top corner reflects years of missed draft picks, free-agent swings and limited investment at the position. He walks through the Packers’ cornerback history under Brian Gutekunst, including Eric Stokes, Josh Jackson, Nate Hobbs, Carrington Valentine and several late-round misses. Wilde also compares cornerback to the offensive line as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks and says the Packers look more like a good-to-very-good team than a true Super Bowl team right now.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to assess where the Packers stand entering training camp, explaining why he believes Green Bay has both a high ceiling and plenty of uncertainty. He discusses whether Jadeveon Clowney makes sense as a veteran addition, if Matt LaFleur could rethink his preseason philosophy, and what to expect from the reshuffled offensive line. Wilde also weighs in on rookie kicker Trey Smack and why patience may be required as Green Bay's young roster continues to develop.

Jason Wilde joins Ben Brust and Gabe Neitzel after another round of Keyshawn Nixon debate, but says he is ready to move on from arguing with Packers fans about Nixon’s value. Wilde explains why training camp will be especially interesting along the offensive line, where Jagger Burton has already earned meaningful work and could push for playing time. He also points to cornerback as another major watch area, especially with Brandon Cisse still only 20 years old and the Packers needing clarity behind Nixon. Wilde then breaks down Jordan Love’s offseason focus on footwork, pocket movement and staying smooth through his reads. He also explains why Luke Getsy’s return as quarterbacks coach and Tyrod Taylor’s veteran presence could both matter for Love’s next step.

Jason Wilde joins Ben and Josh after seeing a highlight of Ben’s clutch NCAA Tournament shot against Oregon and asks him to reflect on what that moment meant. Ben explains why that basket mattered so much to Wisconsin’s Final Four run and why the Arizona Elite Eight game actually stands out as his greatest Badgers memory. Wilde uses the conversation to ask about nerves, preparation, and how young athletes can respond when they struggle early in big moments. The segment also takes a nostalgic turn into County Stadium, Brewers memories, and the legend of the two-fisted slopper.

Jason Wilde joins the show to discuss why Tucker Kraft appears to be on track for a lucrative contract extension and what makes the Packers tight end one of the league's most complete players. He explains why timing, not just production, drives NFL contracts, weighs in on Green Bay's offensive weapons ranking, and shares why the Packers still have plenty of confidence in their young skill-position group. Jason also offers a unique perspective on Bo Melton's value inside the locker room, arguing that his impact on team chemistry goes well beyond the stat sheet. It's a Packers-focused conversation packed with insight as training camp draws closer.

Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bryan Bulaga to discuss the Packers offensive line and whether Jagger Burton has a real chance to compete for snaps as a rookie. Wilde says Matt LaFleur’s comments about Burton stood out because the Packers head coach rarely goes out of his way to praise young players publicly. Bulaga explains why he strongly dislikes offensive line rotations, saying they make it harder for players to build rhythm, trust, and cohesion. Wilde also expands the conversation to Sean Rhyan, player confidence, and why the mental side of football matters without becoming an excuse for poor performance.

Jason Wilde joins Ben and Josh to discuss Tucker Kraft’s future and why he believes the Packers tight end could become the highest-paid player at his position. Wilde explains why Kraft’s ACL injury should not drastically hurt his leverage, especially because of how the injury happened and how important he is to Green Bay’s offense. He also weighs in on Bill Barnwell ranking the Packers’ playmakers 17th, saying the group could look much better if Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft, and Josh Jacobs all settle into defined roles. Wilde also offers cautious thoughts on Marshawn Lloyd and says Taylor Jenkins is the clearest reason for Bucks fans to feel positive after the Giannis trade.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to talk through the aftermath of Giannis Antetokounmpo being traded to the Miami Heat. Wilde reacts to Jim Owczarski’s reporting and says the Bucks did a lot to try to appease Giannis, while also believing Giannis deserves criticism for how he handled the end. He compares Giannis’ evolution to other Wisconsin superstars like Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Robin Yount, discussing how fame can change athletes over time. Wilde still makes clear that Giannis’ championship and impact on Milwaukee remain special, even if the final chapter was complicated.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo’s exit from Milwaukee and why his Bucks legacy should remain secure. Wilde says Giannis should be forever appreciated for bringing the franchise its first championship in 50 years. At the same time, he believes Giannis mishandled the final stretch by not being more direct about wanting to move on. Wilde compares the situation to other superstar exits and explains why honesty would have made the goodbye cleaner for everyone.

Jason Wilde joins Molly and Jim to discuss Giannis being traded to Miami, weigh in on how he feels about Giannis at the moment, and lend some perspective from his time covering Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and the Bucks!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to discuss the blockbuster trade sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat and offers a pointed perspective on how the situation unfolded. Wilde argues that while Bucks fans should always appreciate what Giannis accomplished in Milwaukee, it's important to remember that this move ultimately happened because Giannis wanted out. He compares the situation to the departures of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, discussing how star players can shape the narrative around their exits. The conversation explores fan reactions, the Bucks' desire to continue building around Giannis, and the frustration that can come with seeing a franchise icon move on. Plus, Wilde weighs in on Bobby Portis being included in the deal and what Milwaukee's future could look like after the end of the Giannis era.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to discuss Terrence Parsons Jr.’s comments about Micah Parsons’ recovery timeline. Wilde says the comments should not be treated as gospel, but they are not far-fetched given Micah’s own lack of commitment to specific early-season return dates. He explains how the meniscus portion of Micah’s injury could affect the timeline and why the Packers need to protect their long-term investment. Wilde also looks back at how Green Bay’s season unraveled after Micah and Zach Tom went down, while noting the team was still competitive in several of those games.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to debate whether the Packers should be viewed through a 2010-2011 lens if injuries truly held them back last season. Wilde explains why he believed Green Bay was legitimately good before the late-season collapse, while also acknowledging the losses that cannot simply be excused away. He makes the case for Javon Bullard as a potential breakout player, highlighting his toughness, versatility, tackling, and fit in the Packers defense. Wilde and Homer also discuss Jordan Love’s long-term legacy, with Homer emphasizing that winning one or two Super Bowls would matter more than matching Aaron Rodgers’ individual awards.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim to lend his thoughts on comparing Matt LaFleur to Tom Thibadeau, whether the Packers will win a Super Bowl under Matt LaFleur (his answer may surprise you...), the Packers TE situation, and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to sort through what actually matters from Packers mandatory minicamp and what may simply be June football noise. Wilde discusses Jagger Burton’s opportunities with the first-team offensive line, the ongoing development of Lukas Van Ness, and the challenge of evaluating players without full-contact practices. He explains why training camp and joint practices will provide far more meaningful answers about the Packers’ roster than anything seen during minicamp. The conversation also touches on Brandon Cisse, Jordan Morgan, and several of the key position battles that could shape Green Bay’s season. Jason offers his perspective on where the Packers stand entering training camp and which storylines deserve the most attention moving forward.

Jason Wilde joined Jen, Gabe & Chewy to break down why Tucker Kraft has become such a fan favorite and why he believes the Packers tight end could soon become one of the highest-paid players at his position. Wilde also shared his thoughts on Green Bay's kicker competition, explaining why he expects the team already knows who its long-term answer will be. The conversation shifted to rookie offensive lineman Jagger Burton and whether his strong offseason could lead to meaningful playing time this season. Wilde also discussed the latest surrounding Josh Jacobs' legal situation and why a resolution would benefit everyone involved. Plus, plenty of laughs along the way, including Chewy getting caught eating a bagel during the interview.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to discuss what stood out most from Packers minicamp, including Tucker Kraft’s expectation that he’ll be ready for Week 1 and his belief that he’s among the NFL’s best all-around tight ends. Wilde explains why Kraft and Christian Watson are such unique pieces within Matt LaFleur’s offense and why their health could transform the unit. He also highlights an eye-popping throw from Jordan Love that left a lasting impression during practice. The conversation explores the Packers’ offensive ceiling and why there are legitimate reasons for optimism heading into the season.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to talk about the going-ons at Packers mandatory minicamp today, including Jason's viral (possibly out of context) comments about the uncertainty with Keisean Nixon and whether he'll play without a new contract this season. Plus, they get into Lukas Van Ness' impressive performance at practice (aka "football in pajamas"), the full contract details for Christian Watson's contract extension -- just how good was this deal for the Packers? --, and more big questions marks surrounding the Packers' roster without Micah Parsons to start this coming season.

Jason Wilde joins Homer to break down the true structure of Christian Watson’s new Packers contract and why the guaranteed money matters more than the headline numbers. The conversation focuses on Watson’s injury history, his belief in his own future, and whether the contract reflects how both player and team view the risks involved. Jason explains why he sees the deal as a smart gamble for Green Bay while also defending Watson’s decision to take the security now. The discussion also touches on Jayden Reed’s extension and how NFL players balance maximizing earnings against protecting themselves from the uncertainty of football careers.

Jason Wilde reacts to the newly released details of Christian Watson's contract and explains why the Packers may have gotten one of the better value deals at the wide receiver position. He breaks down the limited guarantees, the flexibility built into the contract, and why criticism of the extension looks different now that the full structure is public. Wilde also discusses Micah Parsons' recovery timeline, the possibility of missing regular-season games, and how the Packers would have to adjust defensively if their star pass rusher isn't available. Plus, his outlook on Lukas Van Ness and the players who would need to step up if Parsons' absence extends into the season.

Jason Wilde joins Sunday Karma to break down Christian Watson’s four-year extension with the Packers. Wilde explains why the deal feels different from past Green Bay wide receiver transitions, pointing to the franchise’s old succession plan from Sterling Sharpe through Davante Adams. He weighs the risk of Watson’s injury history against the likely structure of the contract and its guaranteed money. Wilde also discusses whether the Packers need to respond to the Rams’ trade for Myles Garrett.

Jason Wilde joined Riley Jauch and Jesse Nelson on the Saturday Scramble live at TPC Wisconsin for the American Family Insurance Championship. Jason reflects on Jesse's not-so-great attempt to talk with his childhood idol, Brett Favre, when Favre competed in the AmFam Championship. Will Jesse ever get redemption for that? Jason also gives his thoughts on how Christian Watson compares to other wide receivers in Green Bay Packers history. How does Watson compare to Donald Driver? Jordy Nelson? Antonio Freeman? Will Christian Watson be remembered as one of better receivers in Packers history, or will his injury history plague his career perception?

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to break down the Packers' contract extension for Christian Watson and explains why he believes Green Bay may have secured a bargain if the receiver stays healthy. Wilde discusses why both Watson and Jayden Reed chose financial security over testing the open market and why some fan criticism of the deal surprises him. He also explores whether Brian Gutekunst learned lessons from the Davante Adams situation by getting core players signed before their price tags climb even higher. Plus, Wilde weighs in on the Packers' approach to second contracts and what these early extensions could mean for the future of the roster.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to analyze Christian Watson’s new four-year extension with the Packers.

Plus, Wilde shares his thoughts on Tucker Kraft’s future and how the Packers are managing their long-term salary cap plans.

Plus, Wilde reacts to early concerns surrounding Green Bay’s kicking competition and explains why it’s too soon to draw conclusions from offseason practices.

Jason Wilde joined Homer to break down the latest update from Micah Parsons regarding his ACL recovery and what it means for the Packers defense. Wilde explained why Parsons’ comments make it clear he won’t be ready for Week 1 and why the timeline remains fluid beyond that point. He discussed the significance of the Packers’ nine-month recovery approach, the newly revealed meniscus procedure, and the realistic range of games Parsons could miss. Wilde also explored why Green Bay believes having a healthy Parsons for the stretch run matters more than rushing him back early. Plus, he shared insight into how the Packers view their championship window and why patience could pay off later in the season.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt, and Molly review their lists of the top-five Packers under the most pressure heading into 2026. He also gives his thoughts on Matt LaFleur's "business as usual" comments, Trey Smack's rough day, and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to discuss the Rams' blockbuster acquisition of Myles Garrett and whether Packers fans should expect Green Bay to respond with another major move. Wilde explains why he doesn't believe the Packers need to match every aggressive move around the NFC and reflects on Brian Gutekunst's track record of balancing the present with the future. He also shares thoughts on potential contract extensions for players like Tucker Craft and Christian Watson, plus how the Packers may use their available cap space moving forward.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to break down the NFL’s biggest move as the Rams acquire Myles Garrett.

It’s a detailed look at where the Packers stand in the NFC race after a seismic league-changing trade.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to talk about the first week of Packers OTAs, which players are getting the DREADED award of being in the best shape of their life (Jordan Morgan, Carrington Valentine, & co.), and what he has (and hasn't) learned about Jonathan Gannon's defense so far. First, Jason tells the story of his family discovering a new restaurant in Florida, leading him to become an ice-cold delivery driver for his daughters! They also discuss the latest in Josh Jacobs' legal situation -- will the Packers acquire a new RB anytime soon, and why isn't Marshawn Lloyd practicing? Also, how do teams handle divisive political dynamics like the Giants with Jaxon Dart & Abdul Carter right now?

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to discuss the latest surrounding Josh Jacobs and why concerns about the Packers' running back depth existed even before the current uncertainty. Wilde explains why Green Bay may eventually need to add another back and shares his thoughts on Marshawn Lloyd, Emanuel Wilson and the rest of the position group. He also highlights several OTA observations, including the physical development of Jordan Morgan, Christian Watson and Carrington Valentine as training camp approaches.

Plus, Wilde offers insight into several young Packers fighting to carve out larger roles in 2025.

Jason Wilde joins Bryan Bulaga to share what he saw at Packers OTAs, including Tucker Kraft’s encouraging progress and Green Bay’s early defensive looks.
