Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers have a close relationship . Their three years together was much more pleasing than when Brett Favre did everything in his power to challenge the Green Bay Packers‘ quarterback transition to Rodgers in the previous decade.
Now, though, both quarterbacks may be on opposite sides for a week in 2025. If Rodgers truly signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers , the matchup that didn’t happen while the veteran was on the New York Jets will eventually play out.
Asked about who could be the Steelers’ quarterback next season, Love revealed he’s following the situation, despite not having any inside track on what’s going to happen.
“That is a very good question,” Love told Rich Eisen when asked who would play quarterback for Pittsburgh. “I’ve heard a lot of rumors, it might be Aaron Rodgers. You know, we’ll see. But obviously with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson both leaving, it’s an open window. It’s up in the air, we’ll see.”
Jordan Love spent three years as Aaron Rodgers’ backup for the Packers. Now, he’s entering his third season as a full-time starter. And the idea of playing against his mentor is intriguing for Love.
“I would love to get the opportunity to play against A-Rod,” Love said. “Having a guy that mentored me in the league, was someone I gotta be a backup behind, to be able to get the opportunity to play against him, and be on the other side of him, it would be special, it would be cool. So we’ll see, it’s up in the air. I have no idea.”
Old feelings
Back in 2009 and 2010, Brett Favre did play against the Packers. After a year playing for the Jets, he was released and purposefully chose the Minnesota Vikings to face his old team twice a year.
In 2009, the Vikings won both games. However, the Packers and Aaron Rodgers had their revenge in 2010, with two wins and a Super Bowl championship.
