3 trades Packers should make that don’t involve moving Aaron Rodgers

Any trade made this summer by the Green Bay Packers must appease Aaron Rodgers.

No NFL team has been louder this offseason than the Green Bay Packers with all the drama surrounding superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Even though the reigning NFL MVP is supposedly cool with the players, coaches and the fans, he is not exactly on the best of terms with the Green Bay front office. While it remains to be seen if the Packers brass will trade its best player and enter an inevitable rebuild, they can make a move or two this summer to hopefully get back in the good graces with Rodgers before it is way too late.

Here are three trades the Packers can make this summer to try to make things right with Rodgers.

Green Bay Packers: 3 trades to make Aaron Rodgers happier this offseason

3. Swap Jordan Love out for Taylor Heinicke in a deal with Washington

Even if Rodgers has no personal beef with second-year pro Jordan Love, his mere presence on the Packers roster is a not-so-great memory that the Green Bay front office once tried to replace Rodgers prematurely. While Love is very much a project quarterback in his second season out of Utah State, he may not even be the Packers’ backup quarterback this year. He may just be a bust.

So what the Packers can do is send Love to a team in need of a long-term answer at the quarterback position, someone like the Washington Football Team. While Ryan Fitzpatrick will likely be the Week 1 starter, Green Bay could get a high-quality backup with great upside in Taylor Heinicke in exchange for Love. Washington gets a future, while Green Bay relieves internal tension.
