Packers Expect to Lose QB Malik Willis in Free Agency

Team leadership affirms Jordan Love as the starter, clearing the way for Willis to seek a bigger role.

Overview

  • GM Brian Gutekunst said Green Bay will probably lose Willis to a team offering a chance to compete for a starting job and more money.
  • Willis impressed in limited action, going 2–0 as a 2024 starter with three touchdowns and no interceptions, then completing 30 of 35 passes with three scores in 2025.
  • Analyst projections signal a strong market, with Spotrac estimating a two-year, $71 million deal, and outlets citing interest from the Vikings, Rams, Steelers, Colts, Jets, Cardinals, and Dolphins.
  • The Packers reaffirmed Jordan Love as their franchise quarterback and will need to identify a new backup if Willis departs.
  • Pro Football Rumors, echoing NFL Network reporting, describes a Willis exit as likely, with teams viewing him as a bridge option or competition for an incumbent starter.
