Packers’ Jordan Love agrees to 4-year, $220 million extension, becomes highest-paid QB: Sources

New York Times  

The 2024 edition of The Athletic’s NFL Quarterback Tiers is here. The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Jordan Love have reached an agreement on a four-year, $220 million contract extension, league sources said Friday. Love participated in all offseason activities even without a new contract, but the quarterback’s representation informed the Packers just before the start of training camp that he wouldn’t practice. Why Green Bay made this deal The Packers shocked the NFL when they traded up in the 2020 first round to draft Love with four years remaining on Rodgers’ contract. The Packers are hoping Love can follow in the footsteps of Brett Favre and Rodgers and give them three consecutive Hall of Fame quarterbacks, though Love has plenty more to accomplish to get there after a breakout first year starting in which he was arguably the NFL’s best quarterback the second half of the regular season.
