Jordan Love is the star of the Green Bay Packers, and after his first few years as a professional, he’s starting to establish himself as a strong leadership figure. The 2025 NFL season will be a major test for the 26-year-old quarterback, and he knows that his input carries weight when it comes to shaping the team for the upcoming campaign.
Last season left the Packers on the verge of making a deep playoff run, but a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round cut Green Bay’s hopes short. Love started 15 games in 2024 and values the idea of keeping the current roster intact. That’s why, in the face of strong trade rumors, he made his stance clear.
Love didn’t hesitate to express his desire for cornerback Jaire Alexander to remain with the Packers, despite the trade rumors. He emphasized Alexander’s importance on the field and his hope to continue playing alongside him in the 2025 season.

“That’s my guy right there. He’s definitely a player we need back. Just the playing style he plays with, who he is on the field, I mean, that’s a guy we need to have around. So, you know, we’ll see what happens. I’m hoping Ja’s still there with us, we’ll see,” Love stated about Alexander, in an interview with Up & Adams.
