Ryan Tannehill #17 of the Tennessee Titans

The backup quarterback position holds immense significance for every NFL team, especially for contenders like the Green Bay Packers.

If Jordan Love maintains his performance level from the breakout 2023 season, which seems likely, he’ll solidify himself as the Packers’ present and future quarterback. However, Green Bay’s playoff hopes, seeding, and overall postseason success could hinge on how well they cope when Love is sidelined due to injury.

While the team has confidence in second-year QB Sean Clifford, his lack of meaningful game experience raises concerns. Eventually, the Packers will need to evaluate Clifford’s suitability as a long-term backup. Still, this shouldn’t overshadow their Super Bowl aspirations for the upcoming season.

In this scenario, signing a veteran quarterback with playoff experience and a respectable track record becomes the most logical solution. Ryan Tannehill, aged 35 (soon to be 36), emerges as a viable option for the Packers.

Ryan Tannehill #17 of the Tennessee Titans

Tannehill’s recent performance indicates a decline, as he was ranked 34th among starting quarterbacks in 2023. Despite starting eight games for the Tennessee Titans, he struggled with injuries and poor play, resulting in a 3-5 record with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.

However, Tannehill’s overall record of 39-24 over the last five seasons showcases his ability to win games. For the Packers, having Tannehill as a backup provides a more reliable option in case of a Jordan Love injury compared to untested options like Clifford or rookie Michael Pratt.

Securing Tannehill’s services hinges on two key factors: his willingness to accept a backup role and the financial aspect. With his market value estimated at $7.7 million for a one-year deal, the Packers, with over $21 million in cap space, can afford to invest in Tannehill as insurance for their playoff ambitions.

While the cost may seem significant for an insurance policy, the potential impact on the Packers’ postseason aspirations justifies the investment. Whether it secures a playoff berth or enhances their chances of home games in January, signing Tannehill could prove to be a wise move for Green Bay.
