Ladies and gentlemen, well, I'm not going to say welcome to the Packernet podcast, because that's not what this is.

This is just a bit of a breaking news podcast here.

Rishon Gary, who has been the subject of trade talks, announced his time in Green Bay is over.

He was due $19.5 million in 2026 with no guaranteed money. Green Bay Packer, Rishan Bain, Gary put out a release.

When I got the call in 2019, it was one of the greatest moments of my life, and it always

will be. The opportunity to represent Green Bay and Packers Nation across the country and around the

world is something I will never forget. Like all chapters of my life, this one has come to an end.

I want to thank everyone who supported me and my family throughout the years. The love, the energy, and the

memories mean more than words can explain. On my way to my next stop, nowhere near done yet,

all 65-275. Can't wait. Obviously, we'll talk about this more on the actual podcast tomorrow,

but my assumption is, you know, they talked about he was the subject of trade news.

The trades fell through.

I would think that the team would, well, there's two ways to look at it.

Number one, it could just be that they were trying to work something out for him to stay,

and that is ultimately what fell through.

Well, and now we got Ari Mirov here.

The Packers will be releasing Pro Bowl defensive and Rashan Gehry.

So that's kind of what my assumption was, is they were trying to trade him.

That fell through.

And so now it's being put out there.

Because you don't want to release this and then get on the phone and start saying,

hey, anybody interested in a trade?
