Overview
- Packers GM Brian Gutekunst signaled Green Bay is unlikely to match top offers, saying Willis will have opportunities to play more elsewhere.
- Multiple outlets have linked Miami to Willis, yet a reported $99.2 million dead-cap charge before June 1 for moving on from Tagovailoa complicates any pursuit.
- Analyst projections for Willis vary widely, from a Justin Fields–style two-year, ~$40 million range to Spotrac’s estimate of $35.5 million annually.
- Willis built his market on a small but efficient Green Bay sample with 972 passing yards, six touchdowns, zero interceptions and a near-79% completion rate plus rushing scores.
- With Willis expected to depart, the Packers’ contingency includes Desmond Ridder on the roster and mock-draft links to Arkansas dual-threat Taylen Green late on Day 3.
