The money needed to keep an extremely reliable backup is too high in today's market, because there's always teams looking for that guy who just might become their next franchise QB. The question is, has Willis shown this potential in his time with the Packers? It's not a question of how much of it we believe, but how desperate and needy is some team going into a season. I'd ask the question, "Who are the 5 worst starting QBs in the NFL, and how bad is their draft picks this year?" It might not make sense, but if they haven't got a shot at a good one in the draft and have Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum as the two guys on their roster, what do they intend doing to give their team a better chance of winning games?For both GMs and Head Coaches, job security comes through winning football games. Owners and fans do not want to hear something from the people running the team that it's going to take 5 years of getting your rears knocked off to get into a position where you're competitive. When we see coaches get 4- or 5-year contracts, we all know the vast majority of them are sent packing if they don't have a winning record by the end of season 3. It's all part of that, "What have you done for me lately," mentality we see so often.Now, what would be the best scenario the Packers could expect getting for Willis? I think it could be a flip-flop of a couple of draft picks, possibly the 2nd and 3rd, where they could move up at least 10 to 12 spots. Maybe a flip in round 2, and a 4th round pick. Something a little different, but effective. Is something like this enough to entice Gute to pull the string on a trade? I doubt it. I have a hunch the Packers believe they have a legitimate shot at doing well this year and won't part with anyone they believe could end up being a factor in keeping the team upright if the injury bug hits.Just my opinion, but I don't think the body of work from Willis is quite good enough yet to garner more. That said, the flip is that he has a barn burning preseason and someone covets him as much as that super model on the front of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.</blockquote>
