The Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love have reached an agreement on a four-year, $220 million extension, which ended his holdout. Luckily for the Packers, the contract extension came to be quick, as they were able to avoid a lengthy holdout that would have caused a lot of unease and drama.
With the contract, Love now becomes the highest-paid quarterback annually in the NFL. He has tied the AAV of Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow, who signed his deal in 2023 and Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who signed his deal a few weeks ago.
Last season, Love played very well for the Green Bay Packers, especially down the stretch. In 2023, he totaled 4,159 passing yards, 31 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
While it was just one season as the starting quarterback for the Love, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that he got this massive extension. Winning a playoff game on the road in the NFL is no easy task, and Love went into Dallas and beat the Cowboys in his first season as a starter.
The Packers might be taking a slight risk by giving Love such a big deal after one season, but he showed a lot last season and it is a risk that they needed to take.
Now, the Packers will be able to move full steam ahead in 2024, as they hope to contend for an NFC Championship. Love is projected to be an MVP candidate for the Green Bay Packers this coming season, and expectations are high.
As we have seen in the NFL, quarterbacks are constantly resetting the market when they get new deals, and Love is the latest to hold the crown of the highest-paid quarterback in the league annually. Furthermore, we will now wait to see how long he holds that crown in the ever-changing NFL. However, for now, Love is rightfully the highest-paid quarterback in the league.
