The Green Bay Packers have made no indication that they would even entertain trade offers for either of their top two quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love.

However, it’s easy to see the Packers are in a tough spot. Rodgers didn’t attend OTAs and minicamp, leaving his status for training camp up in the air. What would it take to make Rodgers happy? If it’s long-term commitment from the Packers, where does that leave Love?

Unless Rodgers returns on his current contract and is either traded or retires in the next couple of years, it’s difficult to see how things can stay the same.

So let’s say that the Packers do commit to Rodgers long term, and this is highlighted by agreeing on a new multi-year extension that makes it difficult to move on from their MVP for the next few years. All of a sudden, the plan to transition to Love is as good as thrown out the window.

In that scenario, the Packers could decide to let Love’s rookie deal play out, but they’d then risk losing him for nothing in free agency. Another option would be to consider trading him to a team searching for a QB.

If I were Packers GM, there’s no way I’d trade away Love. He has the potential to be a star. However, if I were GM of one of the teams with uncertain futures at QB, I’d be picking up the phone to Brian Gutekunst. Let’s look at three teams that should be interested in trading for Love.
