The Green Bay Packers put their money where their mouth is. After being able to watch Jordan Love grow behind Aaron Rodgers for three years, and have an incredible first season under center, they chose to extend him in a massive way.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Jordan Love has reached an agreement with the Packers on a four-year, $220M contract extension, making him the highest-paid quarterback in league history.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, he will also receive a $75 million signing bonus.
He joins Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence, who signed a lucrative deal in June, with an annual salary of $55 million.

In a video posted by Ryan Wood of USA Today, Love addressed being the highest paid player in league history:
There’s always a part that goes into it.
You’ve gotta stay focused and not try to do too much. I always tell the guys, try not to do too much. Do your job, stick to that. Be the best you can be.
Focus on your job and getting better.
