In no time at all, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has rebuilt the team into one that appears capable of winning the Super Bowl.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – During a 13-year run as Green Bay Packers general manager, Ted Thompson won two NFL Executive of the Year awards.
Instead, in Year 1 of what appeared to be a challenging rebuild, they finished mere minutes from reaching the NFC Championship Game.Gutekunst’s decision to trade Rodgers to the New York Jets last offseason was seismic. Rodgers made the Packers championship contenders every year, no matter the team’s other issues.A controversial first-round pick in 2020, Love didn’t play a single snap as a rookie. In 2021, he performed poorly in his first career start, an ugly loss at the Kansas City Chiefs.
Small victories became a lot of victories. As awful as Love’s numbers were during the first half of the season, they were as spectacular in the second half. Of 33 qualifying quarterbacks over the final eight games, Love was second in passer rating, third in completion percentage and first in interceptions as the Packers went 6-2.
Trading Rodgers didn’t just create a hole on the roster, it created a larger hole on the salary cap. The trade left behind a residual $40.3 million salary-cap hit. To accommodate, Gutekunst and his salary-cap sidekick, Russ Ball, cleared about $50 million in cap space through various machinations. And yet, despite trading their legendary quarterback and relying on the youngest roster in the NFL, the Packers won 10 games.
