Aaron Rodgers is staying with the Packers, which means a few things for Green Bay and Denver players alike. According to our Director of Predictive Analytics, Sean Koerner, several players’ stock is impacted by the back-to-back MVP’s decision to stick with the Pack in a reported four-year, $200 million deal.
Here is Sean’s breakdown of the winners and losers of this deal, including the Broncos players who won’t be catching passes from Rodgers next season:
Stock Up
Davante Adams
Aaron Jones/AJ Dillon
Robert Tonyan
Stock Down
Jerry Jeudy
Courtland Sutton
Tim Patrick
Noah Fant
Uncertain
Jordan Love
Jordan Love Landing Spots
It might not be all bad news for Love though. The 2020 first-round pick was the catalyst for some of Rodgers’ discontentment in Green Bay, but now is the time to shop the Year 2 quarterback.
The Packers will likely entertain offers for Love now that Rodgers is locked in for the next four years — they’d be crazy not to. That’s why Sean believes Love presents a perfect buy-low opportunity right now in dynasty fantasy formats.
Sean Koerner: With a handful of teams looking for a long-term answer under center and neither free agency nor the draft presenting many exciting options, Love should benefit. I could see him starting for any of these teams in 2022: Saints, Panthers, Bucs, Commanders, Steelers, Broncos, Colts, Lions, Texans or even the Falcons could be a possibility.
Regardless of where Love ends up, there are a ton of potential fits and it would make sense for the Packers to get something for him while they can.
