Summary
Big Sal from Peshtigo has had ENOUGH — and on a Sunday morning, no less. The Green Bay Packers just handed Sean Rhyan $33 million guaranteed for a man with nine career starts at center. NINE. Spotrac had his market value at $6.5 million a year. Green Bay paid $11. That's not a signing — that's a charity event. And while they were handing out money like that, Tyler Linderbaum walked out the door.
- Sal breaks down the Rhyan deal in brutal detail — $11M per year vs. a $6.5M market value, a 6-game PED suspension on his record, and nine career starts at the position he's now being paid to anchor
- The offensive line gets the full Sal treatment: Morgan (question mark), Banks ($19M for "serviceable"), Belton (zero NFL snaps), Tom ($22M) — over $50M per year at three spots surrounding a center with no track record
- Elgton Jenkins — four-time Pro Bowler who could play every position on the line — was released to make room for the backup who filled in when he got hurt
- The Dale's Deck analogy lands perfectly: a beautiful structure with a center that cannot hold the weight — and Sal is watching this offensive line the exact same way

| 0:12.5 | So, Sean Ryan, $33 million. |
| 0:18.5 | The Green Bay Packers just handed $33 million, $330,000 per career start at center to a man who has made nine career starts at that position. |
| 0:32.3 | Nine. You understand me? I have nine tomatoes in my garden right now. More consistent production than this offensive line. |
| 0:40.3 | I will tell you that right now. Nine starts, three years, $33 million, and the deal can go up to $39 million. |
| 0:49.5 | 39. I want you to sit with that number. That is the potential total cost of nine career starts |
| 0:56.7 | at center. You know who else has nine starts at something? My buddy Dale. Dale decided |
| 1:02.7 | last fall he was going to be a plumber after watching two YouTube videos. He was very confident, |
| 1:08.6 | had a whole toolkit. Dale flooded his own back to him in February. |
| 1:12.6 | Nine jobs in, he called the real plumber to come fix everything. |
| 1:16.6 | That real plumber cost less than this deal. |
| 1:19.6 | And brother, the real plumber knew what he was doing going into game one. |
| 1:24.6 | And here is the thing that is making me lose my mind. |

| 1:46.0 | 6.5. |
| 1:48.0 | We paid $11. |
| 1:50.0 | We paid $11 million a year for a man that every expert said was worth $6.5. |
