The Packers never explicitly said they wanted Jordan Love to be the successor to Aaron Rodgers, but the message came through loud enough when they traded up to take him in the first round in 2020.
But then there was an MVP season for Rodgers. And then another. And then a lucrative contract extension. And then the Packers were staring down the possibility of having to make a call on Jordan Love’s fifth-year option without really having seen him play.
Now, it seems, Love is finally about to get an opportunity for some extending time as the Packers’ starting quarterback.
