Overview
- General manager Brian Gutekunst said the Packers have discussed adding Kirk Cousins as a potential backup to Jordan Love.
- The need follows Malik Willis leaving in free agency for the Dolphins, which opened the QB2 spot in Green Bay.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur previously coached Cousins early in his career, a link that could help the Packers make their case.
- Desmond Ridder and Kyle McCord are the in-house options for the No. 2 job, and no signing or trade has been reported.
- Cousins could pursue starting opportunities with the Raiders, Jets, or Cardinals, which may limit his interest in a backup role.
