Jordan Love is the unquestioned starter in Green Bay after the Packers traded Aaron Rodgers to the Jets.
On Wednesday, Love spoke with the Green Bay media and shared that Rodgers offered his support when the two had a conversation following the deal.
‘[Love] says Rodgers insisted that he can reach out at anytime if he needs help with anything or has any questions,” tweeted Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, adding that Love said he’ll “always be grateful” to be around Rodgers and learn from him.

“Will Jordan have to FaceTime Rodg or will a phone call be fine?” a fourth fan joked, referring to Rodgers’ excuse for not speaking with the Packers this offseason.

Rodgers has said in the past he was taken aback and not happy when the Packers traded up to pick Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
However, judging by Love’s public remarks, the two did not have a particularly acrimonious relationship over three seasons, which is certainly a good thing.
