Meanwhile, Love got signing bonus money up front and now has a real opportunity to cash in with a long-term deal next offseason if he shows the kind of promise that the Packers expect from him. That contract affords the Packers the ability to cut bait next season if Love crashes and burns in his debut season as a starter while also helping to spread the cap hit of the option money over the 20 caps. Love and the Packers also agreed to a one-year contract extension in May, effectively buying out his fifth-year option for 2024 by coming to a bit of a compromise deal. You just don’t willingly move on from a four-time MVP quarterback without having his successor identified and feeling like he’s ready to take over. The biggest no-brainer on the entire roster is Love remaining as the starting quarterback, barring injury. Here’s a look at how we expect the quarterback position to break down when the Packers cut the roster down to the final number of 53 after the conclusion of the preseason. This year, teams must cut back from 90 to 85 players on August 16, then down to 80 on August 23 before finally getting to a 53-man roster on August 30.

The latter approach is one that the team has taken frequently in the last decade, and ultimately it’s the way that five of our seven contributors decided to assemble the position.Īs a reminder, the 2023 season will see the NFL implement a series of multiple roster cut deadlines after a few years with teams going straight from 90 to 53 on a single day. That leaves the main question up to whether the Packers will keep three quarterbacks on the 53 or if they will stick with two and add a third to the practice squad. Still, the odds of that look remote thanks to the team’s relatively small amount of cap space that is practically available. Today we get the project going by looking at the quarterback position, where the majority of our writers expect the team to keep just two players.īackup QB is one spot where the Packers could feasibly add a veteran to the mix.
This year, seven APC contributors submitted their predictions to the project, and as usual we have combined those picks into a single consolidated prediction. With practices fast approaching, it’s time for us at Acme Packing Company to issue our annual pre-camp 53-man roster predictions. The Green Bay Packers are headed towards the start of training camp, with the team’s first practice just over two weeks away.
