At 9-5-1, the Green Bay Packers aren’t quite where they’d like to be this season. They won’t win as many games as last year. There’s a chance they may not even make the playoffs.
Yet, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been several individuals who have enjoyed a strong season. Others, have put together impressive careers in Green Bay, but some are on expiring contracts, which puts their future in a Packers uniform in some level of doubt.
One player who may not return next season is backup quarterback Malik Willis, who’s filled in whenever Jordan Love has been hurt, and excelled. While the Packers love what Willis has offered, he’s on an expiring contract, and other QB-needy teams will surely have interest.
Recently, ESPN’s Dan Graziano suggested that even if the Packers do want to re-sign Willis to a contract extension, it could be easier said than done.
Willis has led the Packers to a 2-0 record when starting games for them last season. He’s completed an impressive 76.5% of his passes in that span (52-of-68) for 684 yards and five touchdowns without throwing an interception. He even engineered a game-winning drive.
But Willis hasn’t just impressed with his arm, he’s also racked up 201 rushing yards and a touchdown, showing off his abilities as a dual-threat QB. Those types of playmakers are always in high demand, and that’s expected to be the case this offseason as well.
