Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk more Packers offseason and the possibility of selling the naming rights for Lambeau Field. -- How worried should the Packers feel about competing with private equity entering the NFL, how much would a Lambeau corporate sponsor bother fans, and will the fans ultimately get anything out of the Packers' new avenues for revenues? They also get into why this story is coming out at this point of the offseason, whether we should be worried about the Packers actually ever leaving Green Bay, and is winning ultimately all that matters for the fans!

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to discuss the decision to put former President & CEO Bob Harlan’s name on the Lambeau Field facade. Wilde weighed in on whether that honor is enough or if Harlan deserves something more significant given his impact on the franchise.

The conversation also turned to the Packers’ financial standing, with Wilde addressing whether Green Bay is strong enough as a franchise to not rely heavily on local revenue.

A thoughtful discussion on legacy, recognition, and the business side of the Packers on The Homer Hour.

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?
