Will Jordan Love request a trade next year if he is not the starter in Green Bay?
The Green Bay Packers may be forced to trade Aaron Rodgers next year if their plans are to keep Jordan Love as their future starter.
Rodgers signed a three-year 150 million dollar extension, but in a recent interview with Packers beat reporter Jason Wilde, Jordan Love did not sound too fired up to hand around another year to be a backup.
Wilde sat down with Homer and Tony an ESPN Wisconsin radio show and said he recently sat down with Love and felt confident that Love will request a trade if Rodgers is still on the team next year.
“I had a really great conversation with Jordan on Friday afternoon,” Wilde said, as transcribed by Spencer Nelson of ZoneCoverage.com. “I think he very clearly, even though he wouldn’t flat-out say it, he does not want to sit for another year. So, if we get to year four, and Rodgers does come back, I am fairly confident that he will seek a trade.”
It sure sounds like the Packers are riding the Rodgers train, but if they have Love in their future plans they may have to trade #12.
Love is only 24 and has sat behind Rodgers for years, but is he the future?
