Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk about the Packers' free agency additions & losses -- but after he describes his plan to survive the biggest spring snowstorm in state history without a snowblower... They discuss Rasheed Walker's surprising lack of market in free agency after he signed a 1-year, $10 million deal with the Panthers, including how it negatively impacts the Packers' chance at two 3rd/4th-round compensatory picks. They also get into the plan for kicker Brandon McManus and the starting kicker job, how the Packers avoid liquidity issues like what the Bears are encountering when trying to trade for Maxx Crosby, and Gutey going out to sign TWO players who are 30+ years old this offseason -- were these "geriatric" signings for the Packers?

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy for an extended segment diving into the Packers’ latest roster decisions and what they mean heading into free agency.

The conversation opens with Emmanuel Wilson’s departure to Seattle, a move that surprised many given his steady contributions behind Josh Jacobs. Jason questions whether Green Bay might regret letting a reliable, low-cost back walk without an obvious replacement in place.

From there, the focus shifts to NFC North news: Kyler Murray landing in Minnesota. Jason explores whether Kevin O’Connell can unlock Murray the way he revitalized Sam Darnold, and whether the division just became even more competitive. He also sparks debate by suggesting Jordan Love may ultimately prove to be the best quarterback in a division that now features three former No. 1 overall picks.

They wrap with thoughts on the Packers’ special teams situation, including whether Brandon McManus gets paid and what competition might look like at kicker. Throughout, Jason offers insight into how much influence coaches have on personnel moves and how Brian Gutekunst’s offseason strategy is shaping up.

Is Brian Gutekunst changing who he is as a general manager?

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde reacts to the Packers signing 33-year-old defensive tackle Javon Hargrave — a move that makes football sense, but raises philosophical questions.

For years, Gutekunst has operated with what appeared to be a firm “age 30 line of demarcation.” Now, in the span of a week, he’s made multiple moves that contradict that pattern.

Jason breaks it down:

Why the Hargrave signing is a no-brainer from a need standpoint

Why it feels different from how Goody typically builds

Whether this is adaptation… or necessity

Why cutting Nate Hobbs felt very “Ron Wolf-ish”

The Aaron Banks contract skepticism

And why Rasheed Walker still being unsigned is borderline stunning

The bigger theme of the conversation:
When a GM deviates from his stated philosophy, is that growth — or a sign he feels boxed in?

A thoughtful and layered Packers discussion with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The new league year is here, and the Packers are making moves that feel a little… different.

Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down Green Bay’s splash signing of Javon Hargrave, the trade for Zaire Franklin, and what these additions say about Brian Gutekunst’s evolving roster-building philosophy. Is this a true shift in approach, or simply a necessary response to roster holes?

They also dive into lingering questions at edge rusher, the reshaped cornerback room, and the projected 2026 offensive line — including what’s at stake for Jordan Morgan and whether this group is good enough as currently constructed.

Plus, why this offseason may define the Packers’ Super Bowl window more than any in recent memory.

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to break down the latest headlines from around the league.

The guys reacted to the Seahawks signing former Packers running back Emmanuel Wilson and what his departure means for Green Bay’s backfield depth. Wilde also weighed in on Marshawn Lloyd and whether this could finally be the season he stays healthy and delivers on his potential.

Homer asked Wilde how good of a team president John Schneider would have been had he landed in Green Bay, sparking a conversation about leadership, roster building, and alternate history in Titletown.

They wrapped up with a quarterback debate: Can Kyler Murray become special as the Vikings’ quarterback? Wilde shared his thoughts on Murray’s ceiling and what it would take for him to thrive in Minnesota.
