The Green Bay Packers have shown the NFL that trades are not something they are afraid of. Brian Gutekunst and the entire front office completely changed the direction of the franchise over the last few off-seasons.
As it turns out, another NFL franchise may be eyeing their next franchise quarterback.
Packers Fans Explode Over Viral Quarterback Trade Report With Browns (Report)
Our very own Robin Adams initially covered the news:
One team that will be looking for a starting quarterback in 2025 is the Cleveland Browns. Their controversial starter, Deshaun Watson, recently tore his Achilles for the second time this year and will not play next season.
Curtiss Brown, who covers the team for SB Nation, suggested Willis as a possible replacement:
“Willis, who was at one point a starter with the Tennessee Titans was eventually traded to the Green Bay Packers this past offseason. When quarterback Jordan Love went down with a knee injury, Willis stepped in and in his limited time starting he looked better than how he looked when he was in Tennessee.
“Considering how he played in Matt Lafleur’s system (which has some similarities to what Stefanski runs), Willis could work. However, would Green Bay trade him for the right price?
“If Cleveland has to give up a day 3 pick, then it shouldn’t be a hassle. Willis does have some traits that you can work with and his passing needs a bit of refinement in some areas but it’s an option.”
The problem with this proposal is that Green Bay was fortunate to land Willis at the last minute before the season to begin with. Last year proved how important it is to have a quality backup in place just in case Love goes down. As it stands, the Packers do not have one.
