The Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets on April 26, turning to backup Jordan Love.The team thinks highly of Love as they traded up for him in the 2020 NFL Draft. However, he's only played in 10 career games with one career start.General manager Brian Gutekunst clarified after the 2023 draft that he wasn't confident in picking up Love's fifth-year option as he hasn't played much in the NFL thus far.Gutekunst said:"Yeah, I’ve got to figure that out by Tuesday, I guess, yeah. We’re kind of still working through that... It’s a lot of money for a guy who hasn’t played."Love will now have two seasons to prove whether or not he is the franchise quarterback for the Packers.He's completed 50 of 83 career passes for 606 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. On November 27, Love filled in for an injured Aaron Rodgers against the Eagles and completed six of nine passes for 113 yards and a touchdown.Do you think Jordan Love will succeed and become the franchise quarterback for the Green Bay Packers?
