Willis stepped up big over the last two seasons when Jordan Love got hurt, playing at a starter level that drew interest from other teams. Now, the Packers are left with less exciting options, like Desmond Ritter and Kyle McCord behind Love on the Dept Chart. Here this week, CBS Sports analyst John Breach predicted Green Bay will trade for Indian apolis Colts Quarterback Anthony Richardson to fix the issue.
