Green Bay Packers quarterback coach Tom Clements retires, leaving Jordan Love to continue his development without him.

Why it matters: Clements has played a significant role in shaping the careers of quarterbacks like Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Jordan Love. His retirement marks a transition for Love as he adjusts to a new position coach.

• Clements joined the Packers in 2006 as a quarterbacks coach under Mike McCarthy and left after the 2016 season.
• He returned to Green Bay in 2022 at the request of Aaron Rodgers.

What's new: The Packers now have to find a replacement for Clements from their pool of in-house candidates, including assistant quarterbacks coach Connor Lewis and former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion.

Yes, but: While Clements departure creates a void, it also presents an opportunity for Love to work with a fresh perspective and potentially benefit from a new coaching style.

• Love had a strong finish to his first season as a starter, showing promise for his future development.
• Matt LaFleur, the head coach of the Packers, believes that Love's leadership qualities and work ethic will continue to earn the respect of the locker room.

The bottom line: As Love enters the next phase of his development, the Packers must ensure they provide him with the necessary support and guidance to maximize his potential.
