The tough part is they’re gonna pay him so much that they can’t build a team. They’ll be playoff caliber but won’t win a Super Bowl. Same thing I said back when they paid Rodgers a ton. They never won another championship.

[@Thomas-dk6uq]

The price doesn't get cheaper and the salary cap covers the difference. Mahomes was the highest paid QB less than 4 years ago. The caps has gone up by 70M since and now hes making as much as cousins. It doesn't hurt the team as much if they do it early. Everybody with an above average QB is going to be paying 45M-60M in two years. Everybody.

[@lancebasss3959]

@@Thomas-dk6uqMahomes is the only QB in modern history to make that much money (x percentage of a team’s salary) and win a SB, besides Tom Brady and the Mannings. Almost all QB’s win their SB’s on their rookie contract; and that’s because you can’t win without building a team around a QB.

Its out of control.

That QB signed the largest deal in NFL history at the time of signing and was coming off of 1 of those SB wins which came under his rookie contract. Just because the deal looks better now after a few years, doesn't mean he was trying to take a discount or anything of the sort. He got that bag, reset the market, and then everyone wanted to top his bag

[@deemoney8014]

Yall better use Patrick Mahomes name lol

[@AJitati0n]

Longer they wait, more he’ll cost. The absolute worst case scenario is they don’t get a deal done and Love wins the bet on himself. Would cost 10 more million annually compared to if they “overpay” now.

[@thewavyprince5691]

At this rate more than 10 a year

[@crandonborth]

Exactly what the Cowboys did with Dak's contract and it's still burning them.

[@rodneywilliams1154]

That is not the worst case scenario. What if you lock him in for 53 per for 4 years extended 25-28. He does eh for 24. Injures himself 25. Injures himself again 26. Awful 27. Cut 28. Spend 160 million for 16 games of poor football. Packers miss playoffs all 4 years and Love has bad knees for the next 40 years. In your scenario the Packers and Love are both happy, but love makes 60 mil per.

[@kimyona9746]

Jordan Love Extension should be like: 5 years 275 mil. But Packers get an out after year 1 of the deal, if they decide to keep Jordan after that out the rest of the contract is guaranteed

[@crandonborth]

@@kimyona9746 Jordan would never sign that unless there was a ton of guaranteed money up front.

[@JRsVsO]

You all gotta remember, they stuck that offense together with 2 2nd year WR's and Jones with 2 of those 3 hurt half the year, and the rest of the skill guys were all rookies. It took the offense, and J. Love half a year to figure out he didn't need a true #1 WR. With a much improved defense, hopefully, i dont see this team not going to the NFCCG at a minimum. With that said its the teams that are the deepest that make it to the SB every year. I like lombos take do a yearly increase dependent on performance incentives, and hopefully, Love's agent and the Packers can do a 5-6 year deal that works for both sides.

[@johnfbm]

As a Steeler fan I hope they sign him to big money long term.

[@kreed4480]

?? Not at all even close to accurate. How many former top draft picks making BIG money?

[@fantasyfootballppr]

Here’s the deal. If I’m Jordan Love, I absolutely balled out for the better half of a year and destroyed one of the best defenses in the playoffs. It’s not my fault you drafted me and made me sit three years. He looks elite. He showed that on the field. A 5 year $55 million/year deal for Trevor Lawrence…who would you rather have? Can argue it either way but it appears the ceiling is higher for Love. So you have to pay him.

[@jefferyzielke7665]

I agree.

[@jayleon89]

People forget Gutey told Love go out and prove yourself last year during the 2nd half of season. No one realizes that, so what we saw in 2nd half was him playing to prove himself.

[@dirty46]

Like the 49ers made Jimmy G the highest paid QB in the NFL after 7 games, the Packers will do similar. They have no choice.

[@robertmerideth9345]

Giving a guy who played well only half the year 45+ million is absolutely insane

[@Rowsy91]

45 m for a qb will be dirt cheap in 3 years to be fair I doubt Love even accepts 45 per year honestly

[@jackwheeler2004]

LaFleur schemes everyone open. Love is a good qb but I don’t know how you look at the tape and say that Love made the play when the wr has 5 yards of separation

[@trvstrx1774]

you haven't watched the tape

[@josephpayton7522]

You're exactly correct. He's hitting guys who've been open for a full second. He's a zero anticipation thrower. That only works till they have tape on you. Then you start throwing even more picks when the defense starts baiting you. I say don't pay him until he shows he can throw with anticipation like Rodgers did. Just franchise tag him next year. Then there's 3 years of tape to look at.

Who made him sit for three years? Were they winning championships as he sat? Yes. A couple of MVPs but no Super Bowl appearances.

[@chaoticchaos894]

Only half a year of decent football there's no way Love should be getting the biggest contract 💀. I could argue 25-30 million a year with 10 million in incentives seems like a win on both sides. Id do 4 years on it.... Geno Smith has a very similar contract and its a win win for both. Geno makes 100 million over 4 years and the Seahawks get a very team friendly QB who is at least a above average QB with the ability to play at a elite level

its hard to justify someone who had one good year vs one of the easiest schedules in the nfl. Jordan love consistently struggled against bad teams. Jordan love had a 66% completion percentage when using play action. Aaron Jones facilitated that. The NFL will adapt after his first year like it does with every QB. Only problem is can Josh Jacobs make the same impact as Jones. I highly doubt it. all other passing stats for Jordan Love are mid to last in the league. Deep ball percentage is an abysmal 33%. Luckily the Packers can scheme their way out of most things but i dont think it will pan out as well in the past.

So what if GB had traded AR a year earlier and JLove now had two full seasons under his belt and finished the 2023 just as he did. Everyone of you would be saying pay the man now. It was not his fault that GB did not move on from AR earlier and give him more snaps before this contract extension was staring them in the face. They sat him for 3 years and when they finally gave him the reigns he progressed throughout the year into an elite QB we all wanted and expected. Other contemporary QBs have a larger sample size but their production is no better than what JLove did and they are getting their payday. So this whole argument about his small sample size means he shouldn’t get a big payday now is weak. JLove and his agent have the leverage on the Packers in this. Gutey knew that this scenario was possible. Give the guy only 1 year of snaps before the last year of his contract and he rises to the occasion and now you can’t risk him hitting the open market next year. They should have closed the deal in May if they wanted to save money.

300m. he is worth it

It won't be hard. Jordan Love dealt with the Aaron Rodgers situation and played like a top QB by end of the year. He's the franchise QB now and they will pay him. Nobody is interested in creating a bad situation here.

Geez, next thing we know Aaron Rodgers will be having a huge sulk and start demanding $50m just for being Aaron Rodgers.

[@kreed4480]

They’re going to pay him. People need to stop getting worked up over a nothing burger lol

Huge mistake to pay him right now. Without Packers ** OFFENSIVE LINE**, **COACHING**; to a lesser extent tight ends and wide receivers, Jordan Love woulaed likely play horribly. He was THE reason Packers' lost playoff game vs 49ers. Everyone else played lights out including Packers defense. Aaron Jones made an outstanding run to get Packers out of bad field position and into great field position. Then they put it on Jordan Love to make a play, he could not. I do not care that he played on "the youngest team in the last 60 years", the Packers' offensive line was among the best in the NFL, which makes playing QB in the NFL MUCH easier. His stats are impressive, but they are an anomaly. Priority for the organization was to not look utterly foolish for letting Aaron Rodgers go. And please do not quote some stat where he did better than Aaron Rodgers in his first year as a starter. He is nowhere close to Aaron Rodgers. And if a guy like Jordan Love is considered an elite QB in today's NFL. Today's NFL ain't worth watching. If 49ers had Packers offensive line and position skill players, or Brock Purdy was Packers starting QB. They would be an offensive juggernaut. 49ers need a better offensive line over WR, and Packers need a better QB. **I never read any replies to my comments because 1.
