Green Bay Packers quarterback Blake Bortles (9) participates in minicamp practice Thursday, June 10, 2021, in Green Bay, Wis.
If Aaron Rodgers eventually returns, and Jordan Love isn’t an abject disaster during training camp, there would be little reason to keep Bortles, even at a cap hit of $850,000. It’s even possible the Packers will eventually gravitate towards Kurt Benkert as the No. 3 quarterback. All bets are off if Rodgers doesn’t return; Bortles’ experience would be valuable in that scenario.
