Amid QB Crisis, Colts Scramble to Recruit Malik Willis — But the Young Packers QB Shocks Everyone by Turning Down $40 Million: “My Heart Belongs to Green Bay.”

Green Bay, Wisconsin – A true shockwave hit the NFL Tuesday evening when leaked information revealed that the Indianapolis Colts, in a desperate bid after Daniel Jones’ ACL injury, approached the Green Bay Packers to try to bring QB2 Malik Willis to Indianapolis. The Colts were reportedly willing to offer a contract worth up to $40 million, a jaw-dropping number for a backup quarterback. But what came next truly sent the NFL into chaos.

Malik Willis Gives Great Response to Titans 'Revenge' Game

By rule, the Colts can’t trade directly since the trade deadline has passed, but they still have two viable paths to sign Willis: the Packers would have to waive him (and the Colts would claim), or they’d have to sign him if Willis becomes a free agent. With the Colts severely short on QBs, the move made complete sense. But every plan crumbled just minutes after Willis heard the news.

According to multiple insider sources, Malik Willis immediately called the Packers’ front office — even before the Colts officially sent the offer. He expressed his desire to continue tying himself to the team, saying he hasn’t finished his mission and doesn’t want to leave, even though the potential salary in Indianapolis was much higher. Willis’ loyalty instantly became the hottest topic in Wisconsin media.

Willis reportedly told the Packers during that call: “I know there’s a team that wants to give me a chance and a lot of money. But what I want isn’t to run off somewhere else. I want to prove my value right here in Green Bay, until I’m truly worthy of a bigger opportunity.” Those words spread like wildfire, creating a powerful ripple effect in the Packers community.

Willis’ decisive choice left Indianapolis media “frozen,” while Packers Nation erupted in emotion. At a time when the team is in a playoff push, the fighting spirit and loyalty of a QB2 may not make technical headlines, but it does make headlines about culture. And that night, Malik Willis — the once-underrated player — wrote one of the most memorable loyalty stories of the 2025 NFL season.

"I’ve been fortunate in my career, and I understand the challenges a team faces when dealing with financial struggles," Boselli said. "I don’t need the money. What I want is to help this team continue building for the future and pursue greatness. The Jaguars gave me so much, and now I want to give back, even if that means taking on a smaller role." This act of selflessness has deeply resonated with Jaguars fans, who admire Boselli’s loyalty to the team and his willingness to do whatever it takes to see them succeed. Boselli’s desire to help develop the next generation of players reflects the same dedication he showed throughout his playing career, and his willingness to contribute in any way possible is truly inspiring.
