The Inexperienced Bay Packers made large quarterback information nowadays, and it didn’t contain the inheritor obvious Jordan Love.
Even though hypothesis used to be rampant, Aaron Rodgers didn’t retire or go away his staff.
As an alternative, he signed a mammoth contract to stick with the Inexperienced Bay Packers in 2022.
Preliminary stories of the contract had it at 4 years and $200 million however Rogers himself got here out on Twitter to right kind the report on that.
The #Packers and MVP QB Aaron Rodgers have agreed to phrases on a 4-year, $200M deal that makes him the easiest paid participant in NFL historical past, resources say.

Hello everybody, simply sought after to transparent some issues up; YES I can be enjoying with the @packers subsequent 12 months, then again, stories about me signing a freelance are misguided, as are the intended phrases of the contract I “signed”. I’m very excited to be again 💪🏼 #year18❤️

So with out figuring out the precise duration or greenback determine of the contract, it’s nonetheless protected to mention this construction does no longer bode smartly for Jordan Love.
Love-Much less In Inexperienced Bay
Let’s suppose that Rodgers who will flip 39 in December performs a minimum of two extra seasons.
And now Jordan Love’s truth in Inexperienced Bay shapes up so much like Jimmy Garoppolo’s did in New England—the all-timer in entrance of him is solely going to run the clock out at the likelihood he has to begin for the staff that drafted him.

That suggests Love is sitting at the bench making roughly $3 million consistent with 12 months.
The Packers don’t imagine they may be able to win with Love, or they don’t have thrown large bucks at Rodgers to stay him in Inexperienced Bay.
If Jordan Love confirmed any inclination of being a respectable franchise QB this don’t have came about

He additionally does no longer need to observe the Rodgers retirement excursion so all bets are that the Packers will store him round a minimum of for some draft selections.
The place May Love Move?
There are many groups that want beginning quarterbacks.
The Packers must attempt to industry Jordan Love ahead of the NFL Draft:
* Inventory will simplest cross down the fewer he performs
* Susceptible QB magnificence manner he has extra price than post-draft

With Rodgers and Russell Wilson‘s fates now decided, that leaves Jimmy Garoppolo as the opposite veteran prospect placing available in the market for Seattle, New Orleans, or Washington.
May Love finally end up in Seattle and immersed in a quarterback festival with Drew Lock for the QB1 task?
No person is aware of what the Saints would possibly do with Sean Payton long past, and Washington is surely out there for a quarterback, however it’s unclear how they’re making plans to get one.
Then, there are the groups coping with retirements of long term Corridor of Famers, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
May a type of Tremendous Bowl Champion coaches, Mike Tomlin or Bruce Arians, take a possibility on Love?
What If He Remains?
There may be at all times the likelihood that Love remains in Inexperienced Bay.
They want some form of insurance coverage must Rogers get harm.
The staff traded as much as get him within the 2020 NFL Draft, a transfer that now appears to be like silly given the whole thing that has came about since.
PSA: The drafting of Jordan Love can simplest be seen throughout the lens of the truth on the time. Now not even Aaron Rodgers largest supporters may have observed him being again to again MVP after 2017-18.

Any other risk is that he may well be traded within the preseason as coaching camp commences.
If a staff isn’t making plans to provide draft selections, the Packers haven’t any sense of urgency to transport him.
Conclusion
The Packers conserving Rodgers and Davante Adams, by way of franchise tag, manner something.
The #Packers have now formally franchise tagged WR Davante Adams, supply mentioned.

They imagine they may be able to win now so the advantages outweigh the prices of preserving those two big name avid gamers.
If the Packers fail to win the NFC Championship right through the 2022 season, be expecting the controversy to start out over again about what Rodgers will do in 2023.
We all know the solution for now, however in a 12 months, we may well be again right here once more, for the 3rd immediately time with Rodgers and Inexperienced Bay.
