The Packers traded up four spots last week to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with the 26th overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Favre knows a thing or two about being replaced by a younger signal caller. He was 37 when the Packers drafted Rodgers as his heir apparent in 2005 and while the latter sat for his first three seasons in the NFL, he eventually got the starting job when Favre left for the New York Jets.
"My gut tells me no," he explained."I don't know this for certain, but I guarantee you, it's got the wheels turning in Aaron's mind. If that's the case, then that means there's a chip on his shoulder toward the organization that otherwise was not there. All he needs is a reason other than this reason to expedite that."
On the other hand, Green Bay's decision to trade up four spots—they traded the 30th overall pick and a fourth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the 26th pick—went against the franchise's more pressing needs.column on Monday, over the last six NFL drafts and six free agency windows, the Packers have neither selected a wide receiver nor signed one up in free agency for a salary higher than $5 million a season.
"I'm not going to talk about all that we talked about, but he was [...] let's just say surprised that they went in that direction," he said on theRodgers is a year younger than Favre was when the Packers drafted him and has previously stated he intends to play until his 40th birthday, while Favre had openly hinted at retirement even before his successor arrived into the NFL.
