Who will be the Packers’ third quarterback?

The Packers will eventually want to sign a third quarterback to their practice squad

Who will be the Packers’ third quarterback?

The Green Bay Packers currently do not have a third quarterback on their roster, which stands out as unusual given that most teams have retained a third option this offseason. While several teams have cut multiple quarterbacks, the Packers have only retained two players at the position, raising questions about their contingency plans if either Jordan Love or Tyrod Taylor were to become injured. The article explores several potential options for the Packers to bolster their third-string quarterback depth.

One suggestion is to bring back Kyron Drones, an undrafted free agent signed by the Packers this offseason for a minimal $5,000 guarantee. Drones was waived by the team after a disappointing preseason debut, where he struggled with drops and sacks. However, his prior experience with the Packers and the fact that he was cut from a team that kept at least three quarterbacks make him a potentially viable option.

Another option mentioned is re-signing Mark Gronowski, who was cut by the Miami Dolphins. While Gronowski may have already been retained by Miami, his release could leave a spot open for the Packers to claim him on the practice squad. Additionally, the article notes the possibility of signing other released quarterbacks from teams that kept only two quarterbacks on their roster, such as Luke Altmyer, Joey Aguilar, or Kyron Drones.

These players might be more willing to join the Packers' practice squad due to their recent experience with the team during the draft process.

Ultimately, the article highlights the uncertainty surrounding the Packers' third-string quarterback situation and suggests that any move should be carefully considered based on the player's past performance and their potential fit with the team's offensive system.
