    Adam Schefter on J.C. Tretter, the NFLPA Power Shift & What’s Next for A.J. Brown

    The NFLPA has a new executive director — and Adam Schefter says it could matter more than most fans realize. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Schefter breaks down why J.C. Tretter’s election as NFLPA executive director is such a significant development, even if it doesn’t dominate headlines the way player movement does. Schefter explains why Tretter’s background, his previous work with the union, and his connection to the Lloyd Howell era made him a fascinating choice — and why the real impact of this decision may not be felt until the next collective bargaining agreement negotiations begin. The conversation covers: Why Tretter changed course after previously saying he didn’t want the job Whether players specifically wanted a former player in the role If Tretter is equipped to handle high-level labor negotiations with NFL owners Why the public may not care yet — but absolutely will when the next CBA fight ramps up What Pablo Torre’s reporting may or may not have changed around public interest in the election Schefter also hits a few major league storylines: What to expect from the upcoming owners meetings Whether any major rule changes or scheduling shifts could be coming Why the A.J. Brown trade market may not be as strong as people think And whether the Dolphins’ offseason roster purge is actually finished It’s a smart, behind-the-scenes NFL conversation about labor power, league politics, roster economics, and the kinds of decisions that shape the sport long before kickoff. 🎧 A revealing conversation with Adam Schefter on the NFLPA, owner power, trade markets, and what’s coming next around the league — on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

    Bryan Bulaga on Rashan Gary Trade & Why the Packers O-Line Isn’t Fixed

    The Packers didn’t just move on from Rashan Gary — they got something for him. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, former Packers tackle Brian Bulaga reacts to the news that Gary was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 fourth-round pick, and what it means for Green Bay’s cap flexibility moving forward. 030926 Bulaga on JGC Bulaga admits he was surprised the Packers found a trade partner willing to absorb Gary’s contract — calling it a win given that a release seemed likely. 🏈 Sean Ryan’s Deal Raises Eyebrows The bigger conversation shifts to the offensive line. Bulaga was stunned Sean Ryan landed an $11 million per year deal after only nine starts at center. He explains: The center market is thin. Linderbaum-type money ($20M+) was never realistic for Green Bay. The Packers essentially chose cost control over star power. But that doesn’t mean the job is done. 🧱 “Five Is Not Enough” Bulaga makes it clear: Having five starters does not equal having a complete offensive line. The Packers’ group: Banks battled injuries. Elton’s move to center didn’t work. Zach Tom is coming off a major knee surgery. Jordan Morgan is projected at left tackle but unproven. Bulaga stresses the need for real depth and real competition — not just hoping internal improvement fixes everything. 🧠 The Elton Jenkins Move The shift of Elton Jenkins to center was a major domino. When it failed, the line never fully stabilized. Bulaga notes: When you move a Pro Bowl guard and it doesn’t work, the ripple effects are unavoidable. That decision, paired with injuries, contributed to the regression from a Top-10 unit to a bottom-tier group. ⚖️ Rashid Walker & Market Reality The show closes with Rashid Walker’s projected $19–20M market value. Bulaga’s blunt assessment: The Packers cannot afford to pay four offensive linemen premium money. If they pay Ryan, Tom, and Banks — someone has to walk. 🎯 The Bottom Line The Packers improved flexibility by moving Gary. But flexibility doesn’t equal finished. If Jordan Love is taking major hits again in 2026, none of the cap math will matter. 🎧 A former player’s honest assessment of Green Bay’s trench strategy — with Brian Bulaga on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
