Love then spent the year as Green Bay’s No. Due to the coronavirus, NFL teams lost much of the 2020 offseason, then there were no preseason games. What’s tricky for Green Bay is it still has little to no idea what it has in Love.

With the Packers in salary cap hell, many thought Green Bay would extend Rodgers’ deal and make a longer commitment to him. Green Bay lost to Tampa Bay in the NFC Championship Game, though, 31-26, as Rodgers fell to 1-4 in conference title games. Rodgers had arguably the best season of his career in 2020 and won his third career MVP. “And as much as I understand the organization’s future outlook and wanting to make sure they’re thinking about the team now and down the line, and I respect that, at the same time, I still believe in myself and have a strong desire to play into my 40s and I’m just not sure how that all works together at this point.”
