Breaking: Green bay packers To Part Ways With Quarter Back Jordan Love.
The 2023 NFL season should be considered a massive success for the Green Bay Packers. The first year of the Jordan Love era resulted in a divisional-round playoff appearance and a 9-8 regular-season record.
Bumps along the way were anticipated. As the Packers transitioned from a proven veteran like Aaron Rodgers at quarterback to the unknown of Love and a young group of receivers, there were reasons to doubt Green Bay being a playoff team.
The Packers put those doubts to rest by winning six of their final eight games to reach the playoffs and stun the Dallas Cowboys once they got there.
Now, they can look to build on that momentum to make another playoff run in 2024. Before making any cuts or restructuring any contracts, Green Bay is $350,000 under the salary cap.
That should give it enough wiggle room to make a few moves, which could include trades to push this roster to the next level if it wants to.
As we prepare for the offseason to start in earnest with free agency in March, here’s a look at three hypothetical deals that could help the Packers make the most of 2024.
Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst went out of his way to let people know he wasn’t going to trade left tackle David Bakhtiari last August. That was then, but this is now.
The financial picture around trading the veteran has changed this offseason. While the Packers would have incurred a massive dead cap charge for dealing him last offseason, they stand to save a whopping $21 million in cap space by trading him this year.
