Summary
Big Sal from Peshtigo is pacing the kitchen again — and this time, Darlene can't even bring herself to ask why. The answer is Jalen Carter. Twenty-four years old. Two Pro Bowls. Second-Team All-Pro. Super Bowl champion. The most dominant interior defensive tackle in the NFL — and the Green Bay Packers have already made the call to Philadelphia. Sal says stop sniffing around and make the deal.
- The real cost of the Micah Parsons trade: no first-round pick in 2026 and a gutted interior defensive line — and why Sal thinks that makes Carter not just desirable, but necessary
- Carter at 24 next to a healthy Parsons = one blocker on your best pass rusher, every single snap — Sal breaks down exactly why this combination turns Green Bay into a dynasty-level threat
- The Eagles' cap math doesn't work with Davis, Carter, and the AJ Brown situation all at once — Sal makes the case that Philadelphia's window to extend Carter is closing, and so is ours
- The house on the river: Sal explains the whole thing to Tomek from the Marinette paper mill, and the message is simple — find the boats, make it work, don't walk away from a generational asset over the cost of a second boat

| 0:00.0 | Let me tell you something, Pac Nation, Jalen Carter, Jalen Carter, 24 years old, two pro-Bowls, second team or pro, Super Bowl champion, the most dominant interior defensive tackle in the National Football League right now, and he might be available. |
| 0:29.5 | And the Green Bay Packers, our Green Bay Packers, have called the bottom. |
| 0:34.3 | They called. |
| 0:35.8 | Brian Gutikens picked up the phone and dialed Philadelphia. Do you understand |
| 0:41.0 | what that means? That means somebody in that building knows. Somebody in that front office, |
| 0:46.9 | looked at this defense, look at the interior line, looked at the gapping hole where Kenny Clark |
| 0:52.6 | used to live. God bless you, Kenny. |
| 0:54.7 | Thank you for nine years. |
| 0:56.3 | You are a packer forever and said, we have a problem. |
| 0:59.7 | Yeah, you got a problem. |
| 1:02.3 | Here is what nobody is talking about, Pack Nation. |
| 1:05.5 | We gave up Kenny Clark and two first round picks to get Micah Parsons. Two first round picks. And then Micah Parsons |
| 1:17.5 | tears his ACL in 2025. Listen, I love Micah. I am thrilled he is a packer. But the man has not played a full season for us yet, |
| 1:28.8 | and we already gutted our draft capital and our interior line in the same transaction. |
| 1:35.8 | You follow what I'm saying? |
| 1:37.3 | So we get to this offseason with no first round pick in 2026, |
| 1:42.8 | a defensive tackle room that is thinner than the ice on the Pestigo River |
| 1:48.2 | in April, and now Jalen Carter, Jalen Carter, is sitting there in Philadelphia while the Eagles |
| 1:55.8 | try to figure out their next move. And some knucklehead on the internet is going to tell me, Sal, it probably |
| 2:02.9 | will not happen. The Eagles want to keep them. Oh yeah? You know what else people said |
| 2:08.4 | would never happen? The Packers trading from Micah Parsons. That happened. Let me tell you |
| 2:15.0 | what Jalen Carter is because I do not think people around here fully |
