The Green Bay Packers will be anxiously awaiting to hear what Aaron Rodgers wants to do regarding his NFL future, but as of now the team is preparing as if they will have the reigning MVP back on the roster. Brian Gutekunst spoke to the press on Wednesday and updated fans on where the team was in terms of the Rodgers situation and Davante Adams' contract. Gutekunst was also asked about Jordan Love's future with the team, and whether or not he'd engage in trade conversations surrounding the sparingly-used former first-round pick. Per Matt Schneidman, Gutekunst considers the likeliness of trading Love to be “very doubtful.”

What the plan for Love remains unclear, especially with Rodgers seemingly no closer to making up his mind on his future than he was a few weeks ago. Love was drafted by the Packers in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Since joining the team, he's featured in just six games, making just one start in his NFL career.
Despite the Packers' intention of having Rodgers back in 2022, the team is still seemingly unwilling to offload Love. Should Rodgers commit to play in Green Bay this season, fans can expect to see the 23-year-old on clipboard duty once again.
Love had a sensational college career, throwing 60 touchdown passes and 29 interceptions across three years at Utah State. While he struggled with accuracy during his junior season, he still put up huge numbers, resulting in the Packers selecting him as the heir apparent to Rodgers. Considering their stance on trading the third-year QB, they may still think he can become Rodgers' replacement for the franchise, eventually.
