Benjamin St-Juste scouting report from Locked on Chargers host Dan Wade:
“Tall, long press corner who got in trouble with smaller quicker guys when he didn’t land his punch
Much better in zone and made a ton of plays on the football while being the Chargers best run defender at CB”
Post-June 1ing Nate Hobbs is not a sign of anything to me other than the Packers don’t want to pay his roster bonus and the smart financial decision is to post-June 1 the contract.
The Jenkins release is the one that has me doing Brian Windhorst fingers.
The Packers only lost players on Day 1 of the legal tampering period, but there's no need to freak out.
On Rashan Gary's trade, Elgton Jenkins release, and more.

Speaking to positional value that the Packers were able to get a future 4th for Rashan Gary, but couldn't find a trade partner for Elgton Jenkins, even as the league is bereft of OL talent.

Packers players reacted more on social media for Colby Wooden and Malik Willis leaving than Captain Rashan Gary.
I’m just pointing out facts.
Micah Parsons played fewer than 68% of snaps once all season for the #Packers and it was Week 1 coming off a back injury with no camp.
Rashan Gary played 68% just 4 times last year.
When Parsons was talking about conditioning and effort, he meant 52.
Rashan Gary was one of the highest-paid Edge players in the NFL.
He only missed one game the last 3 years, but played
53% of snaps
59% of snaps
62% of snaps
And the media bullied the Packers into making him play more last year.
I wonder if taking on Rashan Gary’s contract will lead the Cowboys to cutting Kenny Clark rather than the reported restructure possibility.

The NFL has traditionally given a round discount in value to future picks. So a fourth in 2027 is actually a fifth-round value now.
It's the time value of money corollary.
That's going to be the case that the Cowboys make.

That is the part of the draft the Packers CRUSH
This is something I don't think Ted Thompson would have done.
He cut a number of high-pedigree, name players with proven production seemingly without exploring the trade market first.
Think teams are looking more for those arbitrage opportunities now, generally.
#Packers save almost $11 million by trading Gary.
They'll have to eat over $17 million in dead cap but it'll all come this season.
Frees up the $31 million he would have cost them in 2027 too.
When Rashan Gary's social media person realizes they have to make a whole new graphic so the "I was hacked" narrative seems plausible.

Zaire Franklin wore No. 4 at Syracuse.
Franklin wears 44 in the NFL, which is semi-retired at Syracuse. Last Orange player to wear it was Rob Konrad in 1998.
If you missed our Sunday OT, we had @zachhicks2.bsky.social from @lockedoncolts.bsky.social break down the Zaire Franklin deal for the #Packers.
Get to know the newest Packer.

If I had Russ Ball's job, I'd be trying to extend the Christian Watson extension before Alec Pierce gets $27M a year.

The more I've thought about it, the more I think Brian Gutekunst will be content to sign a mid-level CB, preserve the comp picks, and let the draft play out.
NTs can be found on Day 3 if necessary. And they'll have next year's FA/draft to address higher-end DT if needed.
Over the last few years, the Ravens, Bills and Packers have looked similar in that they’ve been consistently good, but come up short in the playoffs with complete rosters that lacked star power.
All three have spent significant draft capital the last 9 months to change that.
Zaire Franklin is heading to the #Packers for Colby Wooden. What does he bring (and not bring) to Green Bay's new-look defense?
@zachhicks2.bsky.social from @lockedoncolts.bsky.social joins us to break it all down.

Have to think Franklin was someone Jonathan Gannon and Bobby Babich identified as someone they wanted.
Packers are very good about coaches and front office communicating about this kind of stuff.
Babich used to be a LBs coach too.
Another thing to like about Franklin is he’s got that fuck you edge.
Packers need some more of that.
Zaire Franklin was not great last year, according to PFF he was straight up terrible, but this is exactly the kind of move I was talking about on @lockedonpackers.bsky.social this week: bring in some players so you aren’t FORCED anywhere in the draft.
Franklin as a backstop for $6M is fine
The edge defenders currently under contract with the Raiders
Jahfari Harvey

I swear I didn't make any of those up.
Two firsts for soon-to-be 29-year-old Maxx Crosby, vs. two firsts and Kenny Clark (who the Packers were going to cut this week anyway) for 26-year-old Micah Parsons is a no-contest win for the Packers.
Crosby has never been in Parsons talks.
Rashan Gary isn't headed out of Green Bay yet, but a split is inevitable.

Quincy Williams is a name I'd be interested in from a Packers standpoint.
He flies around and plays with an edge. He wasn't good for the Jets in a new system last year, but was AWESOME in 2023.
Someone hacked my account and posted an elaborate heartfelt goodbye to my current team, instead of a phishing scam or cryptocurrency.

Former Packers LBs coach Mike Smith said he thought Rashan Gary was the best DE in his class the year Green Bay drafted him.
(Nick Bosa was in that class).
He was always Gary's biggest fan.
He coaches in New England now. Pats could use some size at Edge. Just saying.
