It’s unclear what role Blake Bortles will play for the Green Bay Packers in 2021.
With Aaron Rodgers’ future uncertain, you could make a case for Bortles beginning the season as the Packers’ starting quarterback. But if Rodgers returns, it’s possible Bortles won’t even make the 53-man roster.
But we do now know more about his contract with the Packers. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Bortles signed a one-year deal with the Packers worth $1.075 million with no signing bonus or guaranteed money.
So there is no risk in signing Bortles whatsoever.
