Episode Details

What's up Packers family Big Sal here with the Packernet podcast network let me tell you something.
If you thought cutdown day was just gonna be the usual "sorry kid, it's a numbers game" and a couple of quiet releases… nah. Gutekunst and the front office turned Sunday into absolute chaos. Trades flying, the league dropping a bomb on the running back room, and the 53 coming together in the most 2026 Packers way possible. Let's break it all down the way we do it here – real talk, no fluff, just the stuff that actually matters as we head into the regular season.
First, the heavy one. Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Official. The NFL put him there after the misdemeanor charges (battery and criminal damage to property) that came out of that May incident. He's paid, he can be around the facility for meetings and workouts with the team's permission, but he can't practice and he can't play. Only Roger Goodell can take him off it.
