GREEN BAY, Wis. – At quarterback, at least, it will be a drama-free offseason for the Green Bay Packers.
There is no wondering if Aaron Rodgers is going to retire. There’s no waiting out a darkness retreat to Middle of Nowhere, Oregon. There’s no concern about whether there’s a functioning cellphone tower near Rodgers’ locale. There’s no need to listen to The Pat McAfee Show .
Rodgers was a brilliant quarterback, collecting four NFL MVP trophies while leading the Packers to the playoffs one year after another. Rodgers was a headache for defensive coordinators throughout his career; he also became a headache for the Packers and general manager Brian Gutekunst.
The only headache that comes attached to Jordan Love is trying to come up with the proper number of zeroes on his forthcoming contract extension.
Here is an offseason look at the Packers’ quarterback situation.
The Depth Chart
Everything changed in Week 11. That’s when Love took off on a practically unprecedented roll. In the nine games spanning the come-from-behind win over the Chargers in Week 11 to the playoff romp over the Cowboys, Love threw 21 touchdown passes vs. one interception, completed 70.7 percent of his passes and fashioned a 116.6 passer rating.
