In 2023, the Green Bay Packers and their young quarterback, Jordan Love, impressed everyone by making it to the playoffs and defeating the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round. Despite their best efforts, they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in a close game. Following the game, there was a lot of buzz among fans and experts about Jordan Love’s future with the team, including the possibility of a contract extension.
Fans speculated about how much the Packers would pay Love after a great season but only one full year of starting experience. Today, there was a significant update on Love’s contract negotiations.
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love Contract Extension
There was a great deal of uncertainty surrounding Jordan Love’s prospects coming into the 2023 season. After spending three seasons as a backup to one of the league’s top quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers, Love faced a rocky start with the Green Bay Packers. However, he eventually found his footing and began playing at a high level. Today, there is talk of a contract extension for Love.
According to Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo, the Packers and Love will talk about a “fair market deal” and pay him as a “true starter”
What Is A Fair Market Deal For Jordan Love?
It is tough to predict precisely how much Love will get paid per year. The QB market is wildly inflated, but teams want to lock up their franchise guys for years.
List of highest paid QBs by year:
- Joe Burrow: 55 Million
- Justin Herbert: 52.5 Million
- Lamar Jackson: 52 Million
- Jalen Hurts: 51 Million
- Russell Wilson: 48.5 Million
- Kyler Murray: 46.1 Million
- Deshaun Watson: 46 Million
- Patrick Mahomes: 45 Million
- Josh Allen: 43 Million
- Matthew Stafford: 40 Million
Fans have predicted that Love’s salary could fall between 40 to 45 million dollars per year if we consider him among the list of quarterbacks. However, it’s difficult to predict an accurate figure as he has only completed one entire season as a starting quarterback. Green Bay generally makes wise decisions when it comes to contract extensions.
