The Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth a whopping $55.0 million per season.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love have agreed to a four-year, $220 million contract extension that will tie the franchise and the presumptive franchise quarterback together through the 2028 season.QB Jordan Love has agreed to a 4-year extension worth $220M, which makes him the highest paid QB in NFL history despite only starting 1 full season.The $55.0 million average ties him with Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence for the highest annual salary in NFL history.
“I don’t think there was any one game in particular” that was the turning point, Love said during OTAs. “I think throughout the season, every game I learned so many valuable lessons in every rep I took. I feel like halfway through is when I started getting really comfortable, understanding more where I need to go with the ball, what I need to do out there to put our team in the best position and just limit the mistakes and things like that.
“It wasn’t surprising but one thing that was really gratifying to see, I think, was how our team responded to him as the leader out there. They genuinely cared for him and wanted to play for him. That’s not something you can teach.” “Really proud of him,” Gutekunst said at the Combine. “He was very much rewarded for all the work. He’s been put in some tough situations throughout his career. Had lack of opportunity early with the COVID and not having preseason games and different things.
The real stunner was the Jacksonville Jaguars extending Lawrence for $55 million per season, which tied the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow for the highest average salary in the NFL. Should Love be making significantly more per season than legend-in-the-making Patrick Mahomes? Or Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen? Of course not. But that’s not how it works. Besides, teams without a high-level quarterback have no chance for real success. Having an expensive quarterback beats having a mediocre quarterback.
