Time for Packers to Shop Quarterback Brett Hundley

Hunter Noll / FanSided via NFL Spin Zone

The Green Bay Packers have a potential-filled quarterback in Brett Hundley. However, Aaron Rodgers isn’t going anywhere, so it’s time to start shopping the backup.

Brett Hundley gives the Green Bay Packers something a lot of teams want. He’s a young quarterback with tons of potential, who’s already shown he’s got talent. Of course, the Packers don’t need him thanks to Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is signed through 2019, and he’ll get another contract after that one as well. Oh, and he’s one of the best quarterbacks of all-time. While it’s nice to have a good backup quarterback, it’s hard to convince a young quarterback to spend his entire career as a second-string. At just 23, Hundley has a long NFL future ahead of him, but it doesn’t appear it will be with the Packers.

The quarterback market is a little odd at the moment. There are a few teams who don’t really have answers for their problems, and most experts aren’t sold on this draft class. Therefore, a 23-year-old who’s studied behind one of the greatest quarterbacks ever for a few seasons seems like someone any team would be happy to have.

Due to his young age and solid potential, Hundley could yield a solid return for the Packers. A few draft picks could help Green Bay fill out positions that they actually need help with. In the meantime, they could find a veteran quarterback ready to serve as a backup.

Rumor on the street is that Green Bay could get a couple of first-round picks and possibly a third and/or fourth for Hundley, so this could turn out to be an exciting offseason for the Packers in a year in which they don't have a ton of cap room to play with.

He plays the way Mike trained him, scared.

If nothing else, the 2017 season should clearly show the importance of a backup QB. GB's Hundley will never be a Favre or a Rodgers, but he was getting better each game he played. Game experience in a team's system is huge. Hundley will never be a starter, but he can be a trusted backup QB.

As for trades, IMO, CBs and WRs and LBs would head my trade list. Also, the professionals in GB's front office are aware of the "cap" and will I'm sure field a team that fits below the designated max money level.

GB's new GM will be most interesting to watch as he builds the 2018 Packers. [biggrin]

There is not a chance in hell the Packers would get a first round draft pick for Hundley. If they can, I would take that deal IMMEDIATELY without hesitation as they have a plethora of other needs. I would rather they get what they can for him and sign a FA like McCarron.

What has he shown that would warrent any better then a 4th round pick?
He sure didn't impress me.
If we don't get a capable backup QB, and Rodgers gets hurt, it would be another wasted season.

Yeah, but it was Hundley's agent who started the rumor.

Any team even considering giving GB "a couple of first-round picks", not to mention tossing in "a third and/or fourth for Hundley" should have their GM tar'd & feathered & run out of town.

You have to wonder if two 1st round picks is worth trading your future franchise QB away. He can read the field as I've only seen JaMarcus Russell do it, throws it deep as often as Chad Pennington did and decision making that makes me think of Tim Couch. He's like three first round picks in one.

As GB's backup QB, Hundley and Coach McCarthy had to both learn to win. Hundley had to get some game experience, while McCarthy had to taylor the offense to fit his backup QB. Those hurdles have now been cleared and moving forward Hundley (and his coaches) will know better what plays to include/not include in the Hundly playbook. Also, IMO, GB still has a few seasons before they must start looking for Rodgers replacement.

If 2017's QB problem were to occur again, I don't see GB succeeding any better than most teams that loose their #1 QB. That said, GB with Hundley would fare better than with a rookie or a QB new to GB's system.

If a trade is to be made, trade for a Pass Rusher or a proven CB.
