Pending a deal that will be in the neighborhood of 4/115.

A deadline spurred action, if only someone would have predicted that happening.

In addition I'm shocked the Packers front office had enough time to figure out what to do with Adams despite everything being on hold because Rodgers announced his decision only several hours before the franchise tag deadline.

As a suggestion for the posters easily freaking out. While you might have to deal with the Packers not making a lot of moves until the next deadline, which is the start of free agency: R-E-L-A-X

It’s a wonder that people don’t love you around here.

I’m just far more pleased we didn’t have to go through another week of being patronized for expecting our fearless leader to keep his word

Hey look at the bright side Captain. You won’t have to hear about Love as he’s pretty much put out to pasture. Now we can definitely agree his $13mil and #24 was a total waste

I think there's a distinct possibility the Packers trade Love before the draft. Especially considering the QB class is considered to be extremely weak this year.

Truthfully I’d be totally on board with that.

In addition, on a personal level.
I want to see the young kid get a chance to play. I bet his Dad would be proud of him

That depends on the compensation the Packers would receive in return. If they move on from Love they're in desperate need of a backup QB.

Trade him to Seattle.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

Trade him to Seattle.

I guess the Seahawks will go with Drew Lock and a rookie, don't expect them to acquire another QB via trade.

 

[OldSchool101]

Trade him to Seattle.

I guess trade him anywhere we can get adequate compensation. It should be interesting.

 

[Dantés]

I guess the Seahawks will go with Drew Lock and a rookie, don't expect them to acquire another QB via trade.

They have a ton of picks and this rookie class isn’t highly regarded.

I wouldn’t buy the narrative that they’re settled on Lock. That’s likely being put out to spin the trade positively for their fans. It could happen, but they’ll still be shopping at the position.

No choice here.

 

[sschind]

Trade him to Seattle.

for a first rounder, they got plenty of them.

John Schneider is the same GM who traded down 20 spots in the 2nd round and gave up a 3rd rounder to acquire Charlie Whitehurst.

Not sure who would offer much based on what Love has shown thus far. Maybe trade him to the Raiders. They seem to have pretty bad judgement, considering they actually brought on Drayton.

Obviously an early Day 3 would be a bargain from a risk perspective and could be had pretty quickly imo.
Yet I’d rather hold onto him for anything outside a Round 3 comp selection

The one thing helping Love is the thin crop at QB this draft. A QB is worth what someone is willing to pay, as noted by the 2020 Packers.
A pure hypothesis is a 3rd Round draft pick would land Love and we’d have several possible suitors there. Also I don’t think we’d trade him for a Day 3 selection just because we’d have to spend resources to replace him.

We could also trade with team heavier at a position group such as WR or TE or LB etc.. That makes more sense because we would get a known quantity filling a hole at a position of need. We are really in no hurry and the more I consider it the less anxious I am to part ways. Unless a team comes a knocking and it’s legit.

It's kind of an interesting situation. A few weeks/months back you were hearing people say that we'd only get something like a 4th or even just a 5th rd pick for him. At that point I think it doesn't really make much sense to move him as even if he's only ever a decent backup option that's probably more valuable than a 4th or 5th rounder in most cases.

But then I'm hearing people today saying that he'd perhaps fetch as high as a 2nd rounder. At that point I think you'd have to take it. I don't know if that's a super realistic expectation, but at the same time there are a lot of QB-needy teams out there and this draft class isn't particularly strong (FWIW, Love graded at a 6.36 going into the draft, while this year the highest-graded QBs by the same measure are Matt Corral at 6.40, Kenny Pickett at 6.39, Desmond Ridder at 6.36, and Malik Willis at 6.34)...
And Love is still fairly young, too - He's younger than Pickett, just 3 months older than Matt Corral, 10 months older than Ridder, and just 6 months older than "highest ceiling" Malik Willis.

That's not to say that I think Love is a great QB or will be a great QB in the future but teams do weird things when they're desperate. Obviously Love's sample size is much, MUCH smaller, but not long ago Arizona bagged a 2nd and a 5th for Josh Rosen after having an all-time bad rookie season, so you never know...

I think he has another year in Green Bay. Loves cap number for 2022 is just shy of $3.4M. Trading him before June 1 only nets the Packers a $94,000 cap savings while carrying ~$3.3M dead cap.

I guess if someone was giving a 2nd or 1st I would consider it, but I don't think anybody would. I don't think they're giving up on him yet though. Obviously he's not ready, but our QB is coming off back to back MVP seasons, he's not exactly replaceable at this point either. For as much people think extending Rodgers is an indictment on Love and what they think of him, I think it has more to do with the level that Rodgers has been playing at making it pretty much impossible to say, see ya, to a qb playing like that.

Love isn't ready, but I'm not sure they're ready to jettison him because they don't think he has it either.

And really we’ve already spent the selection(s). We don’t stand to gain that much even if he returned a 2nd rounder it wouldn’t change our overall dynamic. We’d also be looking for another QB so it doesn’t make much sense to part with Love. Obviously if there was a stupid offer of a top 20 selection, but I think we’re kinda in no man’s land still on a trade because he’s not there yet.

It’s my opinion that Jordan is 1 year away from being more adequately prepared as a starter. He missed all of 2020 preseason to Covid and he’s a virtual Redshirt Sophomore. I just have a gut feeling he needs this year to refine and implement his game. This is also symbolic of the time spent in college whereas he started to thrive. Given time I think he’s capable of starting in the NFL and might even eventually surprise a few folks. Having another QB Coaching Angle is going to really help him.

Also. I think this year will be different without all the distractions and pressure he was under to start out last year. Last year was weird, even for us fans it was just awkward

I don't believe the Seahawks are settled in on Lock either but I highly doubt they would be interested in acquiring another quarterback via a trade. I fully expect them to use one of their picks acquired from the Broncos on the position though.

The Packers wouldn't trade Love to save cap space but to receive a decent draft pick or player at a position of need in return.

With Rodgers having agreed to an extension it's all but guaranteed Love won't see any meaningful action until his rookie contract expires. I highly doubt the Packers would be interested in re-signing Love without being able to fairly evaluate him until then, therefore it might be best to receive some compensation for him at this point. As others have mentioned I would prefer to hold on to him as long as another team isn't ready to give up a day 1 or 2 pick for him though.

 

[longtimefan]

For me.

Its funny that after only ONE true pre season (again...its MY OPINION, he hasnt had the true time to hone the skills.) and one real season people are so fast to dismiss love.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But for me. I want to give the guy until end of 2022 b4 really making a judgement call

He could be a flop. He maybe average or he could be a future hof.

But for me. Again my opinion. Give him a real chance..m maybe packer brass hates him.

But he hasnt the true test as 10000s of qb b4 him had

Personally, I wasn't freaked out about Rodgers making a decision, it was WHEN he would finally make that decision. Had Rodgers made his decision a month ago, the last month could have been spent working on their current Free Agents and potential cap casualty cuts, based on knowing Rodgers decision. Now negotiations with those players can take place, but as we saw yesterday with Denver and Seattle, those negotiations with other teams may have already taken place for some of them, over the last month. The Packers may actually get a few "we have already moved on, unless you can beat this deal" from players like MVS.

As far as Adams goes. That was actually the easiest decision that the Packers had to make, why would you not franchise him? You keep him if Rodgers decision was to stay and try to trade him if Rodgers wants out.
