The Green Bay Packers have officially found a backup for Jordan Love.
Green Bay has been linked to various quarterbacks in recent weeks amid its search for viable insurance behind Love. With neither Sean Clifford nor Michael Pratt turning in a convincing preseason and training camp to win the QB2 role, the pressure was on Green Bay's general manager Brian Gutekunst to make a move on the free agent market for a serviceable backup.
That move was made on Monday.
ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Monday night that the Packers traded for quarterback Malik Willis of the Tennessee Titans.
"QB trade: Titans are sending QB Malik Willis to the Packers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, per sources," Schefter said. "Willis is likely to back up Jordan Love."
Willis, 25, was drafted at No. 86 overall by the Titans in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Willis appeared in 11 games for Tennessee over his first two seasons in a backup capacity, although he made three starts during the 2022 season for the Titans.
He leaves Tennessee having thrown for 35-66 with zero touchdowns and now joins a Super Bowl contender as its clear backup quarterback.
