Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love signed a four-year, $220 million contract on Saturday morning. Here’s what GM Brian Gutekunst had to say before Saturday’s practice at training camp.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Jordan Love’s four-year, $220 million contract extension with the Green Bay Packers – a record-tying $55.0 million per season – will obviously put stress on the salary cap. While that will add to general manager Brian Gutekunst’s challenge of building a competitive roster, it beats the alternative.
A first-round pick in 2020, Love struggled at Kansas City in his first NFL start in 2021 and was inconsistent and mistake-prone through his first nine starts in 2023. But when Love got rolling, he put up elite numbers in propelling the Packers to an unlikely playoff berth. “I think what gives me comfort is I know he's going to work to be whatever he can be. The best version of himself,” Gutekunst said. “He's done that consistently since he's been here and to see him, his learning, his growth over that time, I don't expect him to change.
“When you really get to know these guys is when you get them in your building, get them in your process and you get to see how they work and how they endear themselves to their teammates, how important it is to them. Since he’s been here, he’s checked all those boxes.
