JORDAN LOVE

The Packers just wrapped up a disappointing season in which Aaron Rodgers and the offense largely struggled, but the star quarterback is noncommittal on his future with the team.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have a murky future. Could this be the quarterback's final season in Green Bay?

With Aaron Rodgers banged up and the Packers' playoff hopes low, is it time for Green Bay to take a longer look at Jordan Love?

LaFleur and Gutekunst took turns on Monday addressing the team's plans regarding Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love. When asked at his new conference whether he wants Rodgers back next season, LaFleur didn't balk. As for Love, the Packers have a decision to make on whether to exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Love, meanwhile, has made a total of one professional start and thrown 80 NFL passes since the Packers drafted him in 2020. But decisions now impact the clarity of decisions in the offseason, which will see the Packers at a quarterback crossroads.

Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers said he would have an "open mind" to sitting the rest of the season to heal up and get the younger guys some playing time.

The Green Bay Packers' season looks beyond saving, and that's created a change in incentives for the would-be contender. And yet, Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday that he understands if the Packers opt to make a change under center. But if that conversation comes up, I'll approach that with an open mind and without any bitterness or resentment. I understand if we don't that's a possibility to have that conversation." Rodgers signed a four-year, $200 million contract extension last offseason that keeps him under contract with the Packers through 2026.

Rodgers has previously mentioned that he thinks about retiring, but his former teammate A.J. Hawk doesn't think recent injuries will mark final chapter of Rodgers' playing career.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he plans on playing Sunday against the Chicago Bears after suffering a rib injury against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Late in Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, when the Green Bay Packers appeared to have few positives to take away from an embarrassing curb-stomping, a moment of intrigue came from the most unexpected of places. That's what Love can still represent: an illuminated path forward that doesn't count on Rodgers holding the light. If Green Bay already has that player on its roster, it could be transformative. You can’t do that with Love if Rodgers is hanging on for dear life hoping to reach a 9-8 record. This is the moment when Green Bay needs to make a little withdrawal from Rodgers' playing bank and slide it over to Love.

In another wild week, Mike White, Jordan Love and Trevor Lawrence starred for their teams while the Bucs, Seahawks and Ravens struggled.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts rewrote the franchise record books in a 40-33 win over the Green Bay Packers at home on Sunday night.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw a touchdown pass to Christian Watson on his first drive after taking the reins from Aaron Rodgers.

The only good thing for Aaron Rodgers in this frustrating Green Bay Packers season, before Sunday, is he hadn't missed any time due to injury. The Packers can check Rodgers missing time with an injury off the list for their horrible season now. Rodgers suffered an oblique injury on Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and it was clear he was in pain. The team reported he had an oblique injury. Now, on top of a losing season going nowhere and his thumb injury, Rodgers has an oblique injury to deal with as well.

Green Bay linebacker De’Vondre Campbell gave Jordan Love a heavy compliment Monday as the Packers' struggles continued into Week 9 with their fifth straight loss.

The New York Jets used the run game to dominate the Green Bay Packers, defeating them, 27-10, on the road Sunday to secure their third straight win.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (AP) — Patrick Mahomes walked onto the field for a poignant penalty, then the Chiefs and Packers rested most of their starters in their preseason finale Thursday night, which Kansas City won 17-10 behind two touchdown passes from Shane Buechele. The Packers' Jordan Love threw for 148 yards with an interception in his final work before Aaron Rodgers takes over for the regular season. “Obviously, we’re praying for his family,” Mahomes said, “but he did so much to impact the Kansas City community and this organization. Mahomes, who had an excellent first two preseason games, never took a snap before joining Travis Kelce and other Chiefs stars on the sideline.

Packers 49ers Football San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance (5) passes against the Green Bay Packers during the first half of an NFL preseason football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Friday, Aug. 12, 2022. The pass traveled 34 yards downfield, longer than all but one of Garoppolo's completions the past two seasons for San Francisco. The ability to throw it deep was one reason why San Francisco traded three first-round picks to draft Lance third overall in 2021 to replace Garoppolo. Jordan Love threw three interceptions to go along with two TD passes in one half of action with starter Aaron Rodgers sitting out the exhibition game. INJURIESSan Francisco rookie DE Drake Jackson (shoulder) and Green Bay LB Tipa Galeai (shoulder) both got hurt in the first half.

Trey Lance flashed his big arm in a brief preseason stint for San Francisco with a 76-yard TD pass to speedy rookie Danny Gray that helped the 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers 28-21.

Backup Jordan Love threw two interceptions late in the game, sealing a defeat that didn't affect Green Bay’s playoff positioning. Detroit took a 24-13 lead early in the third on a reverse flea-flicker with Jared Goff throwing a 36-yard touchdown pass to Brock Wright. Love threw a go-ahead, 62-yard touchdown pass to Josiah Deguara with 4:49 left in the fourth, but the Packers could not hold on for the win.

Packers Chiefs Football Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, right, throws under pressure from Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Jarran Reed (90) during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021, in Kansas City, Mo. — (AP) — The Green Bay Packers did all they could defensively to help out Jordan Love in his first career start. Not that Love did much to make Green Bay brass feel good about spending a first-round pick on him last year. Asked whether he thinks he's ready to be a full-time NFL quarterback, Love replied: “Yes, I do.”Still, the performance puts the Packers in quite a predicament. His future in Green Bay beyond this season already was murky after he nearly departed this past offseason.

— (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs probably scrapped whatever defensive game plan they were pondering the moment they learned Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had tested positive for COVID-19 this week. The Chiefs brought the heat just about every down, and the Packers were unable to counter it until the fourth quarter. And while the Chiefs (5-4) managed just 237 yards of total offense, that was enough to edge above .500. The Packers nearly did the same thing when Amari Rodgers muffed another punt early in the second half. It probably would have ruined any offensive flow had the Chiefs and Packers not done it on their own.

The Green Bay Packers did all they could defensively to help out Jordan Love in his first career start.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 166 yards and a touchdown as Kansas City held off Jordan Love and the Packers 13-7 on Sunday.

While the NFL reports 94.1% of its players are vaccinated, Rodgers is not one of them, NFL Network reports.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said his relationship with general manager Brian Gutekunst is a “work in progress,” but he has nothing but affection for the man Gutekunst drafted as his possible replacement: backup Jordan Love. Rodgers returned to the Packers last week, reporting on time for training camp after an offseason in which he made clear he was unhappy with the organization. Love took the majority of reps at minicamp and likely would have been the Packers' starter this season if Rodgers hadn't returned, a situation for which Rodgers has some sympathy. Because of the uncertainty surrounding Rodgers, Love has no way of knowing when or if he'll take over as the Packers' starter. “There’s a love and an appreciation and a friendship there, just like it was with me and Brett,” Rodgers said.
