Green Bay Packers rumors have been flying all offseason, since before Malik Willis left to sign with the Miami Dolphins. No one expected the Packers to have a chance to sign Willis, who was widely anticipated to land a better playing opportunity elsewhere. Yet, considering Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has long had an appreciation for developing quarterbacks, rumors have suggested that Green Bay may trade for another young prospect with untapped potential.
The name most commonly linked to the Packers has been former No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson. While the Indianapolis Colts remain open to trading their former first-round pick while moving forward with Daniel Jones. Green Bay’s latest move suggests a trade for Richardson may not be a top priority right now.
On Monday, the Packers announced that they’ve signed 36-year-old QB Tyrod Taylor to a one-year contract to back up starter Jordan Love.
Taylor is a one-time Pro Bowler who spent the past two seasons with the New York Jets, appearing in eight games and making six starts. He completed 62.2% of his passes for 898 yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions with the Jets.
Taylor joins a somewhat crowded Packers QB depth chart led by Love, , , and Kyron Drones. McCord, 23, was a sixth-round pick by the last year. Drones is an undrafted rookie. Ridder is a 26-year-old former third-round pick who has made 18 starts in the NFL, but is as unproven as they come.
