This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, Packer's fans? Happy Thursday. Welcome into an all new episode of the Packaday

podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL and the podcast

at Packetay podcast. Thanks so much for being here. I was all excited. I had all my deep dive scouting

report notes and tape study done early on Wednesday. And I've had a lot of late nights lately. So I'm like, this is great. I'm going to get the kids to bed. I'm going to record early. I'll get to bed early. And then of course, the Las Vegas nights and the Utah, what is it? The mammoth. They ended up going into an incredible double overtime hockey game. So now I'm recording this at 1.30 in the morning. But it was a great game. Kudos to the Vegas Knights for winning that one. But it is what it is sometimes for a great game. You have to stay up a little bit later. But I'm still super stoked to talk about DDS and our deep dive on day three. Before we get there, we do need to talk a little bit about Jaden Reed. We did get

What I care about, and I've talked to you guys about this a million times before,

what I care about is how much does he cost against the salary cap each year? I don't care

if Jaden gets a billion dollars, all right, other than the fact that it might

bankrupt the Packers, which would be a problem.

But I let Jaden take home as much as he can, right?

But I care about how is that going to count against the Packer's salary cap.

So that's what I'm going to be going over today.

In 2026, this year, his salary

cap will jump to $6.78 million, still very reasonable deal for this season. And next year,

in 2027, it will be $10.88 million. Again, very reasonable contract for Jane Reed. Then in

2008, it goes to 17.63 million and in

2029 it will also be 17.3 million. The first thing I want to say here is that what you always
