Packers Eye Veteran QB Kirk Cousins

Summary
- Green Bay Packers seek veteran backup QB for Jordan Love.
- Kirk Cousins is a potential candidate for backup role.
- Concerns exist about Cousins' willingness to be backup.
The Green Bay Packers face an interesting quarterback situation this offseason, despite Jordan Love holding the starting position. With backup Malik Willis now with the Miami Dolphins, the team is searching for a veteran to support Love. Sports Illustrated has suggested Kirk Cousins as a potential candidate for this backup role.
Cousins' potential fit stems from his familiarity with the Packers' offensive system. This move could offer valuable insurance, especially considering Love has missed playing time in two of his first three seasons as the primary starter. However, the decision is not straightforward.
Two significant concerns arise with the potential signing of Cousins. Firstly, it remains uncertain if Cousins himself desires a backup role, as he may still perceive himself as a starting quarterback. Secondly, his presence could create undue pressure on Jordan Love. If Love experiences a period of poor performance, the team might face fan and media calls to insert Cousins, a scenario that could prove detrimental to Love's development.
