The Green Bay Packers are determined to keep Jordan Love long-term, so much so that they are willing to break the bank in his contract extension.
However, while some fans are ecstatic to hear about the Packers’ plan, not everyone thinks that’s the right move.
Jordan Love Contract Update With Green Bay Packers

For those who missed it, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported on Sunday that the Packers are looking to complete a deal with Love that will propel him to the Top 10 of the best-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
“The Packers are committed to getting something done with Love. He got the proof of concept last year with the big season, so they believe he’s their future,” Fowler shared on SportsCenter.
“This could heat up after the draft. He’s due to make around $10 million next year. Signed a one-year bridge deal last offseason; should be a lot bigger, putting him somewhere probably in the top-10 highest-paid passers.”
Love is due to earn $10 million in 2024, but if Fowler’s report is true, then he could earn upwards of $40 million. After all, the 10 highest-paid QBs in the NFL earn at least $40 million per year.
That is certainly a massive commitment from the Packers, but by the looks of it, they have seen enough from the youngster to be convinced that he’s their franchise quarterback.

As every Packers fan would know, Love was critical in leading the Packers to the divisional round, beating the Dallas Cowboys in the wild card in a massive upset. During the 2023 season, the the 25-year-old signal-caller finished with 4,159 passing yards and 32 touchdowns against just 11 interceptions.
Green Bay Packers Fans React To Jordan Love Contract Report

There’s no denying that Jordan Love has superstar potential. It should be noted that the 2023 season was the first year he became the official QB1, having spent his first two years learning behind Aaron Rodgers. So for him to accomplish so much, many believe there’s nowhere to go but up for him.
“Smart move by Packers,” one fan commented on MLFootball’s X post of the news. Another supporter shared, “His first year starting he’s thrown for almost 4,200, and 32 touchdowns. He can only get better from here.”
A third commenter said, “Good for him. I am still not sold on Love, but I can see him being a top 20 QB for the next 5 to 7 years.”
However, that lack of experience is bothering others as well. For them, Love still needs to prove that he can perform at such a high level consistently before earning that massive contract. The Packers are basically taking a massive bet on Love, and the risk is certainly there.
“Insane how Jared Goff has two back-to-back incredible seasons, one of which he led the Lions to the NFCC Game and he doesn’t deserve this contract but one year of Jordan Love on similar production and everyone says Love is the next big thing and he deserves this contract? Weird,” one critic shared,
A concerned fan added, “I have no doubt he will continue to be good but he needs one more great season to earn that in my opinion.” Another one shared the same sentiment, noting “Looks very premature.”
It remains to be seen what kind of deal the Packers and Love will reach. But sure enough, Green Bay fans will have their eyes focused on what the team does heading to the 2024 campaign.
