[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1060747, member: 6578"] Everyone, I love Willis. I was high on him in his draft class - I think he is a grade A human being first and a promising QB in the league that could be a starter for a team someday. Just had to say that as I don't want anyone believing me seeing value or reason in trading him means I don't think that. I completely understand the desire to have a competent backup...but here's the thing, until Willis actually had success last year for us, he had proven he was actually incapable in the NFL in his young career. Yes, he was in a terrible situation but still typically guys that have it shine through...Willis is truly one of those guys that has grown exponentially in his time and I mentioned it last year, his processing and patience and belief is like night and day now. Doesn't mean he will have it always but there is a QB there for sure, where it was questionable before. Sure you could offer Willis 3-5M/Year to be your backup but he isn't dumb...someone will offer him a one year deal to push for a starter in that $8 to likely $12M range...I mean shoot Taylor Heinicke got a few years back now 2 years $14M. Darnold got $10M from Vikings and everyone thought he was going to just be a bridge QB for a little while... Fact is Willis has shown more than arguably any current backup that is young (he's only 25 years old) - a team knows if they acquired him this year it is to test the waters...if he is what everyone saw in GB in 2024 and can replicate that for them, there is likelihood of even more growth there and he is well worth testing out and paying....or if after this season there are always teams in need of QBs that don't currently have a second or third contracted QB and likely are without such a QB or have a young struggling rookie controlled contracted QB. If Willis is in GB for the 2026 season it is strongly likely one of two things happened - something happens that removes Love from GB in some capacity OR Willis sucks in preseason and few chances during the regular and teams assume he is more Tennessee QB prior to 2024 than the GB QB of 2024. Because he would be saying no to millions to stay otherwise. [/QUOTE]
