Let me tell you something, Pack Nation, before we get into it today, some of you were new, some of you missed the last episode, and some of you have been texting me all week asking questions that tell me you definitely did not listen.

So here is the short version.

A few days ago, I sat down and I walked through the Packers' dead cap situation.

$43,199,000 in dead money, 11th in the league.

And the two biggest chunks, Rishon Gary at 17 million and Kenny Clark at 17 million,

are boat sitting in Dallas right now.

$34 million.

Going to the Cowboys, the players we no longer have. On a roster, we are telling

everyone is a contention window. That was the rant. If you missed it, go back and find it on the

Pachinette podcast network. I will wait. But somebody did listen and somebody had thoughts. We got actual mail from a man named Randy, Randy in Minnesota. And Randy, I want you to know. I read this thing three times. Once fast, once slow and once out loud to nobody in particular because I needed to hear it in my own voice before I responded.

That is how seriously I take the correspondence on this show.

Randy says, and I am going to be fair here because Randy is being fair.

Randy says that Gary Dead cap is not as dire as

I presented it. That trading him opened up cap space for 2026 roster construction. That keeping him

would only compound a bad deal. And that Clark, well, who wouldn't trade Clark the Parsons?

And he says next year, both of them are off the books.

Randy, brother, I need you to listen to me very carefully.

Everything you just said is correct.

And it does not help Brian Gutakunsch one single bit.

Stay with me here.

You are describing the cure.

I was describing the disease.
