📝 Full Episode Description (Entire Hour)
The Packers have Micah Parsons, Jordan Love, and Xavier McKinney in Pro Football Focus’ Top 101 list.
That’s it.
In Hour 2 of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew breaks down what that really means — and whether Green Bay simply lacks the elite-level depth required to get over the Super Bowl hump.
022326 JGC Hour 2
🏈 Is Three Enough?
The debate starts with a simple observation:
Three Top-101 players feels light for a team that considers itself a contender.
Seattle had five.
Other contenders typically land in that 4–6 range.
Does Green Bay just need more blue-chip talent?
The hosts agree:
At some point, you simply need more high-end players.
💰 The Josh Jacobs Question
The conversation pivots quickly to Josh Jacobs’ contract.
He carries:
A $14M+ cap hit
Only about $6M in dead money
Potential restructure flexibility
Do you extend him?
Do you convert money?
Do you cut him?
The crew wrestles with the uncomfortable truth:
If Marshawn Lloyd had stayed healthy, this wouldn’t even be a debate.
But because Lloyd has barely seen the field, Jacobs feels more necessary — even if the numbers don’t scream elite production.
🔄 Rashan Gary & Elgton Jenkins Clock Is Ticking
With free agency approaching, roster bonus deadlines are looming.
The likely scenario:
Gary and Jenkins decisions come soon
Cuts create space
Restructures push money forward
The big theme of the hour becomes cap “credit card” management.
Yes, the Packers can create space.
But every dollar pushed forward eventually comes due.
And with Micah Parsons’ extension on the horizon and Tucker Kraft likely next in line, discipline matters.
🧮 Avoiding Future Pain
The group lands on a shared philosophy:
Only pull cap levers when you need to.
Don’t restructure blindly.
Don’t borrow from 2027 unnecessarily.
Don’t pretend flexibility equals free money.
Green Bay has historically handled the cap responsibly — outside of the late-stage Aaron Rodgers contracts — and the crew believes that discipline remains intact.
⚖️ The Bottom Line
The Packers aren’t broken.
But if they want to be champions, three elite players probably isn’t enough.
More star power.
Smarter cap usage.
Cleaner roster decisions.
That’s the offseason blueprint.
