When this offseason is over, Jordan Love could very well find himself with the keys to the Green Bay Packers if the team decides to trade Aaron Rodgers or he decides to retire from the game. Trading Aaron Rodgers might be difficult for the Green Bay Packers, but the possibility of a trade out of Green Bay continues to build steam as the four-time MVP contemplates his football future.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the New York Jets are expected to pursue Rodgers via trade and the Packers also feel “comfortable” with the development of Jordan Love.
“He (Fowler) noted the team is ‘comfortable’ with the development of 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love, who has spent the past three seasons as the backup,” Bleacher Report’s Adam Wells wrote.
Love has been his backup since the team moved up and drafted him in 2020. He has played in just 10 games and compiled 606 yards through the air and three touchdowns.
The Packers are coming off a disappointing 8-9 season under Rodgers where they missed out on the playoffs following a Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Love is entering his fourth season and is ready to play. The team seemingly wants him to play and they could very well happen sooner rather than later.
There have been no public indications from Rodgers or the team that a divorce is desired if retirement isn’t an option. One way or another, something is going to happen and it could shake up the entire landscape of the league.
