The Packers settled their backup QB battle and got a draft pick for next year. The Green Bay Packers  have apparently settled their backup quarterback situation for 2018. On Wednesday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Rob Demovsky reported that the Packers have traded fourth-year quarterback Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks  in exchange for a draft pick in 2019. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport later reported that the pick would be a “mid-to-late rounder.”  (Update: Rapoport now reports that it is a 6th-round pick. )
The Pa ckers had given Hundley  and DeShone Kizer  roughly equal snaps throughout this preseason in an effort to evaluate the two quarterbacks who were competing to be Aaron Rodgers ’ backup. Kizer will likely get the start in the Packers’ preseason finale in Kansas City on Thursday.
On Tuesday, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy laughed off a question about whether the Packers might give Kizer playing time ahead of Hundley on Thursday.  He then went on to say that rookie Tim Boyle would get “more snaps than the other two” quarterbacks due to not playing in Oakland. With Rodgers sitting out this week’s game, expect Boyle to get at least the entire second half as an audition for a spot on the 53-man roster.
The Packers selected Hundley in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft with the 147th overall selection. He spent his rookie year as the third-string quarterback behind Rodgers and Scott Tolzien, then took over as Rodgers’ backup in 2016. Last season, he started nine games after Rodgers broke his collarbone, completing 60.8% of his passes for 1836 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. That was good for a passer rating of 70.6, and he also added 270 yards and two touchdowns rushing. Hundley will likely back up Russell Wilson in Seattle, perhaps competing with Austin Davis for the number two job in the Seahawks’ final preseason game.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

On the other hand, after some of his games last year they are lucky to get anything for him.

It's a far cry from whom ever it was that said GB would get a 1st for him. (That was before his 2017 performance.)

Overall I am relieved they don't have a bottleneck. GB traded for Kizer so barring a catastrophic PS, he was clearly going to be #2.

The Packers plan to keep both Kizer and rookie Tim Boyle, an undrafted free agent, on their 53-man roster, barring something unforeseen between now and Saturday's final cuts, a source said.

I'm surprised we got a 6th for Brett Hundley, I was expecting undisclosed future pick, which would be a 7th rounder. And I found this "report" interesting, Packers plan to keep DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle on 53-man roster.

A 7th would have been a slap in the face. A 6th at least shows some respect. Breaking even would have been ideal but this is the next best case scenario. Depending on how Kizer and Boyle develop, perhaps an even better trade looms in the future.

In a bizarrely shittily written article, NFL.com has the compensation as a sixth-round pick as well. Hell of a comedown for a player drafted in the fifth round.

It's a little concerning to me that the only quarterback on this roster besides Rodgers with any experience is a second-year player who lead the league in interceptions last year. I don't know what Kizer showed this preseason to beat out Hundley. Maybe he just won on potential alone. His ceiling is theoretically higher than Hundley's, and potential does seem to command a high price in this league.

In any case, for what it's worth, the Packers have managed to upgrade their backup quarterback position from a fifth-round pick to a second-round pick for a relatively minimal price. Hopefully it will never matter!

I think this is more about making room for Kizer and Boyle, who have better upside potential, than getting value for Hundley.

On one hand, I'm surprised to get anything other than a conditional pick for Hundley... on the other hand, some have mentioned that veteran back-up QBs are sometimes getting comp picks. So in theory, the Seahawks could get a 5th or 6th comp pick back, if Hundley signs with a different team and they qualify for comp picks and Seahawks might be able to get that pick back.

Kizer has shown a hell lot better pose in the pocket than Hundley, who (as a QB) gets alligator arms after being hit... and Kizer can watch down field, watch the pass rush and chew bubble gum all at the same time, which Hundley could only do two at a time and he wouldn't put down the bubble gum.

In preseason Hundley throwing looked better, but that's because he's experienced with everything for 3 years now... where as the Packers were asking Kizer to completely flip his passing footwork (or the other side of the family as MM put it), also new scheme, system.

The Browns last year had a ton of pressure and Kizer was stupidly putting it all on himself. Kizer did great until the redzone and the huge pressure moments where he'd screw up... but if this team can run the ball, you can use him and his great awareness to use him as a game manager and not a play maker and take the pressure off of him.

Even his Head Coach at Notre Dame said he was going into NFL too early. He no longer has the pressure of resurrecting a sunken downtrodden franchise and instead is with a solid franchise with an elite QB to learn from.

Sure, you can argue so did Hundley and it didn't do him shit.

I give up.

Well I better pipe in here ...

I definitely did not become a hundley supporter last year; as a matter of fact I cringed every game he played in.

Anyways ... moving on to this preseason. He actually played pretty decently; and I would go so far as to say better then Kizer ... although again I still did not want us to keep him (hundley).

Again Hundley did decently in all 3 preseason games he played. If I didnt know how he did last year or the fact that when he got some pressure put on him he would flop - I would of said we have a decent back up (besides the gum chewing).
But ya I know those above things about him so ya wanted him gone; and am glad we let him go. I liked Kizers attitude also in the NFL.com comment about learning from one of the best for awhile.

My reservation is we got a 6th for hundley after training him up for 3 years and spending a 5th on him? Really? Not even a decent linebacker or something for him.

I really was hoping for something better then a 6th - but glad we got something then just letting him go; would of been bummed if MM decided to keep him on. Too bad we 'wasted all that' preseason time training him up again and not giving Kizer more practice time. I mean we only got a 6th for hundley so was/is it worth it to lose out on kizer practice - perhaps it pushed him more (rambling) ...

So we cant sneak Boyle onto the practice squard?

Don't give up! I'll help you!

How much better did Hundley look in his fourth year with the same team than Kizer did in his 2nd year with 2 different teams? Yep. That's how I explain it.

I am wondering if Hundley looked good in the preseason due to scripted plays at the beginning of the game. It seemed he started off well just like many of the games he played in when the plays were scripted. Once off script the "deer in headlight" QB came out. His pocket awareness is not as good as Kizer's. Give Kizer some more reps and I have to believe he would perform at least to what Hundley was going to give us. Make no mistake if Rodgers goes down for a significant amount of time we are toast no matter what backup we keep.

YES!!! GET RID OF MEDIOCRITY!! The Packers have been plagued with mediocrity for too long. Hundley proved that he is an inadequate starting QB and probably an inadequate backup QB. At some point, a team has to cut its losses and move on, especially if they can get some type of compensation for him.

Hundley may develop into a serviceable backup QB yet, but frankly, I'm glad he's the Seahawks problem now.

Well, yeah, but that only tells part of the story. It's true that Manning tossed 28 interceptions his rookie season, but he also threw for 3,739 yards (6.5 ypa) and 26 touchdowns that year, which is a respectable level of output for an NFL quarterback. By contrast, Kizer only produced 2,894 yards (6.1 ypa) and 11 touchdowns last year -- leading the league in picks despite only playing 15 games. Similarly, Kizer's passer rating was an appalling 60.5, which is significantly worse than Manning's not-exactly-stellar rookie rating of 71.2. I'm not saying Kizer is destined for failure, but I wouldn't put him in the same league as Manning either.

Then again, Manning is my all-time favorite quarterback, so come at me, bro.
