Time for Packers to Shop Quarterback Brett Hundley
 

Hunter Noll / FanSided via NFL Spin Zone

The Green Bay Packers have a potential-filled quarterback in Brett Hundley. However, Aaron Rodgers isn’t going anywhere, so it’s time to start shopping the backup.

Brett Hundley gives the Green Bay Packers something a lot of teams want. He’s a young quarterback with tons of potential, who’s already shown he’s got talent. Of course, the Packers don’t need him thanks to Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is signed through 2019, and he’ll get another contract after that one as well. Oh, and he’s one of the best quarterbacks of all-time. While it’s nice to have a good backup quarterback, it’s hard to convince a young quarterback to spend his entire career as a second-string. At just 23, Hundley has a long NFL future ahead of him, but it doesn’t appear it will be with the Packers.

The quarterback market is a little odd at the moment. There are a few teams who don’t really have answers for their problems, and most experts aren’t sold on this draft class. Therefore, a 23-year-old who’s studied behind one of the greatest quarterbacks ever for a few seasons seems like someone any team would be happy to have.

Due to his young age and solid potential, Hundley could yield a solid return for the Packers. A few draft picks could help Green Bay fill out positions that they actually need help with. In the meantime, they could find a veteran quarterback ready to serve as a backup.

Rumor on the street is that Green Bay could get a couple of first-round picks and possibly a third and/or fourth for Hundley, so this could turn out to be an exciting offseason for the Packers in a year in which they don't have a ton of cap room to play with.

What has he shown that would warrent any better then a 4th round pick?
He sure didn't impress me.
If we don't get a capable backup QB, and Rodgers gets hurt, it would be another wasted season.
