It's deja vu all over again in Green Bay.Well, history has a tendency Bo Jackson Jersey of repeating itself, and Sunday night may have been the universe's way of telling NFL fans who will be under center in Green Bay to start the 2023 season.When the Packers selected Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, some viewed it as forcing Rodgers out, akin to when Rodgers was selected in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft as a precursor to replacing Brett Favre.The football gods now might be showing some more humor when it comes to the eventual Rodgers-Love handoff.MORE:Just take a look at the circumstances surrounding the Love replacement on Sunday night and what happened 15 years ago: In Week 13 in 2007, Rodgers took over for an injured Brett Favre in a "Sunday Night Football" matchup vs. the Cowboys (NFC East opponent), going 18-of-26 pa sing for 201 yards and a touchdown in the lo s to Dallas.Rodgers would end up starting for Favre in 2006, when Favre retired following the 2005 season Justin Grimm Jersey . In Week 12 in 2022, Love took over for an injured Aaron Rodgers in a "Sunday Night Football" matchup vs. the Eagles (NFC East opponent), going 6-of-9 pa sing for 113 yards and a touchdown in the lo s to Philadelphia.Sunday night was the eighth time that Jorge Soler Jersey Love has played in a game with Green Bay after redshirting his first year in the pros in 2020. For comparison, Week 13 in 2007 was Rodgers' seventh appearance.MORE:Love started a single game for Rodgers, in 2021, when the veteran was out with COVID-19. Rodgers never had the luxury of starting until Favre retired following the 2007 season (before eventually returning to play for the Jets and Vikings).That all said, if Rodgers' end is to come in Green Bay, then it'll be by retirement, similar to the way he replaced Favre. Rodgers' contract e sentially locks him in a Packers uniform unle s he decides to retire, with the cap hit monstrous if he's Trevor Cahill Jersey traded prior to June 1.It'll still hurt Green Bay, though, if Rodgers decides to hang 'em up. Should Rodgers walk away, the Packers will be left with over $40 million in dead cap.Aaron Rodgers' contract was structured "year to year" for retirement purposes, starting with a 1 year, $42M deal this season. If he retires after 2022, the will be left with $40.3M of dead cap, and Rodgers will be walking away from $59.5M cash.
