Green Bay, Wisconsin – The Green Bay Packers made a significant move by signing their quarterback, Jordan Love, to a massive four-year, $220 million contract extension. Love’s new deal includes a $75 million signing bonus and $155 million in new full guarantees, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league.
The 25-year-old quarterback is now locked in with the Packers through the 2028 season, giving the team stability at the quarterback position for years to come. Love’s impressive performance in the 2023 season, where he threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, played a significant role in securing this lucrative contract.
Despite a rocky start to the season with a 2-5 record, Love led the Packers to a 9-8 finish and a playoff berth. His ability to bounce back from adversity and demonstrate steady growth throughout the season impressed the team’s management and coaching staff.
General manager Brian Gutekunst praised Love’s leadership and performance, highlighting his growth as a player and his potential for future success. Head coach Matt LaFleur also commended Love’s command of the offense and his role as a team leader, emphasizing his importance to the team’s success.
Love’s journey to becoming the Packers’ starting quarterback was not without challenges. After spending three seasons behind Aaron Rodgers, Love finally got his opportunity to shine when Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets in 2023. Despite limited starting experience, Love embraced the opportunity and delivered a standout performance in his first season as the starter.
Packers president Mark Murphy expressed his confidence in Love’s abilities and leadership, noting his continued improvement and strong work ethic. With a young and talented roster supporting him, Love has the potential to lead the Packers to further success in the coming seasons.
