Packers Consider Cousins for QB Depth

On April 1st, the Green Bay Packers lost their solid back of quarterback Malik Willis to the Miami Dolphins and Free Agency, leaving them shorthanded, behind starter, Jordan Love.

Sports illustrated tossed out a wild idea, bringing veteran Kirk Cousins as insurance.

Right now, their quarterback room just has Love, rookie Kyle McCord, and Desmond Ritter, which feels thin for a team chasing playoffs.

Cousins knows the Packers offense well since it runs a West Coast style he's thrived in before. Love has missed games in two of his first three full seasons as the starter, so a proven guy like Cousins could steady the ship if needed.

Fans and analysts are split on this though. Cousins has always been a starter, earning big contracts to lead teams, so would he really sit behind a young guy like Love?

That ego clash could turn messy quick. The bigger worry is pressure on Love.

If he hits a rough patch, Packers fans might start chanting for Cousins, forcing coaches into tough calls, and shaking up teambibes.

It's a bold swing that might fix one problem but spark others, so Green Bay's front office has some real thinking to do this off season.
