The Green Bay Packers are expected to add a third quarterback to their roster following the trade of Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins. The team currently holds Jordan Love as the starter and Tyrod Taylor as the backup. One potential target for the vacancy is Will Levis, who was released by the Tennessee Titans on August 30 in favor of Cam Ward and Mitchell Trubisky. Levis missed the 2025 season due to shoulder surgery and carries a $2.2 million salary cap cost. While other teams may pursue him on the waiver wire, Green Bay possesses the capacity to add him to the roster before the season opener in two weeks. Head coach Matt LaFleur previously worked with Malik Willis, and the team may look to replicate that development process with the former Kentucky quarterback.
