    Jul 6 2026
    Alex Strouf, Jason Wilde and Gabe Neitzel open State of the Packers from Summerfest by debating Matt LaFleur’s fresh contract extension, the late-season collapse, and whether “finishing” is really something a team can practice. They weigh how much blame belongs to LaFleur versus Brian Gutekunst after injuries, offensive line issues and the Micah Parsons trade all shaped the 2025 ending. The guys then turn to Jordan Love, asking whether 2026 is the year he goes from good to great and starts elevating everyone around him. The hour also digs into Green Bay’s streamlined pass-catching group after extensions for Christian Watson and Jayden Reed, with Tucker Kraft expected to be next and defined roles replacing last year’s overcrowded receiver room. They close with the running backs, including Josh Jacobs’ uncertain offseason situation, Marshawn Lloyd’s mystery, and how much Chris Brooks can realistically handle.
