The quarterback situation for the Green Bay Packers is one of the more interesting aspects of the early portion of the offseason.
Especially now after the team’s latest comments regarding Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love.
According to Rob Demovsky, the Packers have yet to communicate with Rodgers and hope to have his decision before the start of free agency.
GM Brian Gutekunst in a session with Packers reporters at the combine said he hasn’t spoken much with Aaron Rodgers since their end of season meetings but still hopes for a decision before free agency (March 15).

Additionally, Gutekunst was asked about whether or not he wants Aaron Rodgers back with the Packers in the 2023 season, per Demovsky. The Packers’ general manager kind of beats around the bush with his response.
Gutekunst on whether he wants Rodgers back:
“He’s a great player, but until we have those conversations, I think all options are on the table. We need to have those conversations. We want what's best for the Green Bay Packers, what's best for him so we'll get to that coming up.”

From there, Brian Gutekunst makes the claim that Jordan Love is ready to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. On top of that, it sounds like the Packers have been in steady communication with Love, unlike Aaron Rodgers.
Gutekunst said Jordan Love is “absolutely” ready to be a starter and they’ve been in regular communication with him and his agent about what’s happening.

With all of that in mind, Cheeseheads seem to believe a quarterback change is imminent.
he's not coming back.

Did Brian Gutekunst go Randy Jackson on us?

Some Packers fans are completely fed up with Rodgers.
Don’t beat around the bush and make the decision for Rodgers. Trade him and let’s give the keys to Love. It’s time.

You’d think it would be an easy decision.
So start Love then. It's not hard, Gutekunst. Sheesh!
