The Green Bay Packers are in a Aron Baynes Jersey  great spot with the 2024 National Football League just a few weeks away from beginning.Green Bay has high expectations heading into the new season but if anything were to happen to quarterback Jordan Love, that would completely change. The Packers currently have Sean Clifford andMichael Pratt behind Love on the .There that the Packers could look to add a new backup quarterback and if that ends up being the case, they should give the Atlanta Falcons a call. Atlanta currently has Kirk Cousins,Taylor Heinicke, and Michael Penix Jr all on the roster.Bleacher Report's Ryan Fowler put together a list of from each NFL team and had Heinicke on his list."The value of a backup quarterback seemingly increases each year," Fowler said. "Injuries occur, expectations adjust, and players who operate on a "one snap away" basis are looked upon to keep an offense on track. A former starter in Washington, Taylor Heinicke took a pay cut to stay with the Atlanta Falcons following the free-agent signing of Kirk Cousins..."Looking at teams around the league with questions under center, Heinicke has the skill set and experience (29 career starts) to not only compete but also produce. It comes with context as the former UDFA out of Old Dominion has a cap on his performance ceiling, but he's gritty, has a knack for making the big play, and has proven capable of keeping a team in contention when under center."It seems like he may be pushed out in Atlanta and could serve as a very steady backup behind Love.
