The same agent as Aaron?! The packers can’t escape this guy😂

[@pneyu]

Same agency, but different agent. Same agent as Deshaun Watson, though

[@steveosborn7224]

It’s wild to think he’s about to be the highest paid player or among them for a half season of good play in 4 years.

[@williamhermann6635]

It wasnt just a half of a season. He started out the season hot with 8 tds and only 1 int the first 3 weeks, including a 17 point 4th qtr comeback win. Then injuries began to mount and they were down their 4 best offensive players (Bakhtiari, Watson, Jones, Jenkins). Offense as a whole went flat for 5 games, not just Love. Eventually, the young guys started figuring it out and some of the vets started getting healthy and they balled out for the rest of the season. You tell me a quarterback who couldve kept winning games with rookie receivers, rookie tight ends, a 2nd year 7th round pick who never started at LT, and AJ Dillon at rb.

[@jeanfourcade]

Best times ever to be a hot QB.

[@oneilljryan]

My thoughts exactly

[@WhiteBreadCrumb]

I mean based on his body of work last season plus what they think his ceiling could be if you get him now before dak gets payed then of course you sign him now and don't wait another year

[@steveosborn7224]

@@WhiteBreadCrumb small body of work and I’m not sure what they believe the ceiling is. Russell Wilson got a contract extension when he joined Denver based off a much larger body of work and that majorly backfired. I say make him produce at a much higher level this season and if he earns more pay he does.

Out of all the changes to the NFL over the past 20years this bugs me the most. Paying people these max contracts when they have not even had the time to prove they are worth it. What business pays in advance for a employee that that might never be a CEO, but gives them that much. Let me be clear I am not just talking about the Packers and Love.

[@jobunaga4178]

this is a dumb comparison because the pool of qualified CEO candidates is exponentially bigger than the pool of qualified franchise QB candidates. if a team followed your "run it like a business" approach, then you have the dallas cowboys. good regular season record, but since no personnel risks were taken, no reward is available.

[@jobunaga4178]

so when should jordan love get a new contract? this is his last year. no QB in the league is going to play out the last year on their contract unless they are looking to retire or hit free agency.

[@KingGizzard673]

Well, don't forget the Packers management made a business decision to not play him for the first three years. I agree with you, but in this particular case the Packers accepted that risk when they kept Aaron on.

[@getthebagnelly]

Why would they take the chance to not sign them and they go play for another team and play phenomenal. Who would look like the fool?

[@1_underthesun]

That lack of time though is mostly all the Packers doing though. Love didn't sit for years because he wanted to. That's the risk/reward system you take when you choose to sit a guy and let him develop. If he would have been an actual rookie last season and we were having this discussion, I'd fully agree with you, but he's now been in the league 4 years.

[@DenverDad]

So a player that has played 1 year sits out because he doesn't get a contract extension? He signed a contract to play [x] years for the Packers. He should then play [x] years for the Packers. So tired of NFL players acting like the contract they signed is always 1 year shorter than what they agreed to. Take a note from Dak, believe in yourself enough to earn it.

you're a clown for thinking that way. do you think the packers are going to take care of jordan love if he tears and achilles during OTAs? jordan love is 100% correct in making sure he gets his money before putting his body at risk.

[@DenverDad]

​@@joedawg713 So much anger in this reply, my god. Go outside, take a breath. If a team cuts a player, they still have to pay them at least the guaranteed portion of the contract. So you're simply factually incorrect. The guaranteed $ throughout the remainder of the contract is owed. Given that, the player should also make good and provide the services they agreed to. The team is willing to pay the money agreed to in the contract for the stated amount of years, so the player needs to provide that service.

They see the type of person he is. The type of leader he is. How hard he works. Sure, some QB's have had stretches of good-great play, but there's only like 3 other QB's in NFL HISTORY who've put up the numbers 10VE did in his first full season.

There is no doubt Jordan Love played great for half the season last year. Maybe more than half the season. But he played well in one playoff game, and poorly in another. Green Bay fans don't like drama. It's why many turned on Rodgers, and many turned on Favre toward the end. They appreciate greatness, but don't like drama. If Jordan Love holds out to get a HUGE contract, based on half a season and one play-off game, he puts tremendous pressure on himself. Green Bay messed up by having such a short evaluation period, but now they are going to have to pay him. If he's a 50 million a year QB, playing for the Green Bay Packers, he had better be a HOF talent. The fans have expected such since 1992. It hurts to say as a Bears fan, but the Packers MIGHT have found another gem. But it's equally as likely no one had film on him, and now they do. Defenses can hone in on his weaknesses. He might be a one season phenom like Rich Gannon. It's a really risky move for both the team and Love.

[@IanSane]

I say the Packers should see if he blinks. The guy has had one year as a starter and hasn't truly proven anything, simply because of such a small sample size. It makes no sense to pay anyone serious money this early in their career unless they literally won the Superbowl MVP in their rookie season. If you give in with Love then every rookie has any half-decent debut is going to try the same thing and that isn't a viable situation. Yes, he is missing valuable practice time that could hurt his development but remember that also hurts him. He can't earn the real money if he ends up a one season wonder. It is in his best interest to develop as a player because that's how he'll truly become a star who can earn serious money. So he can either give in and continue with the development that he needs to succeed or he can hold out and possibly destroy his career long term. Odds are he's aware of that and won't hold out long.

@@jpmartin2312 Doesnt matter what you or I would have done, all that matters is how it went down and I'm sure Love would have been happier playing from year one and sees it as their incompetancy that he didn't.

Love is not on that level after 1 season.

It is not up to sports yakkers. Love and the team have an agreement. OK done with this topic.

His agent also told him not to practice. My guess is that he wants to practice still. I agree, end of story.

Stroud

[@jesseschave7853]

I agree the packers have to pay him big money, but I don't agree that he's earned it. As late as week 14 last year, he looked like maybe the worst qb in football. He had some absolutely atrocious throws in that giants game. This contract could go down as the worst in team history.

[@Huntersmells]

Hot take jordan love is gonna suck this year he ran a pop warner offense last year

[@mannyvenegas8378]

He was great for half the season, and he’s acting like this when he just signed the contact last year? Yikes

[@besmorpheous]

No hate from me , but he’s only played one season so he’s already up for a big contract ?

[@jobunaga4178]

blame that on the packers for declining his 5th year option.

[@Pccpy]

You are either pay him now or let him walk, no other choice. If you let him play through out his contract then you better be prepared to let him walk, because he can and he will.

Not trying to hate on J Love, I think he's great, but it's crazy how you play well for half a season and instantly think you deserve top dollar. I know that's how the NFL works nowadays, but it's just crazy. That being said, I hope he continues to play well

[@jobunaga4178]

he's on the last year of his contract. no one (except dak) plays on the last year of their contract. this is the summer that jordan love is SUPPOSED to get extended.

[@andrew.van5]

@@jobunaga4178 Right. I totally understand that, I'm just saying it's crazy that they expect to give him top dollar for only playing well for half (or 2/3) of a season. I know that's how the NFL works nowadays because you either gotta pay your QB or let them walk and get paid, but it just fascinates me.

[@jobunaga4178]

@@andrew.van5 given the repeated precedent set by franchise QB contracts in the NFL, wouldn't jordan love be foolish for not pursuing the maximum long term earning potential? it's simple supply and demand. if there were a bigger supple of qualified franchise QB candidates then the contracts wouldn't inflate this way.

[@andrew.van5]

@@jobunaga4178 You're 100% right on J Love. He of course should be pursuing as much money as possible. He'd be foolish not to. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's crazy how in today's NFL how teams have to just pay up and not "reset" the market by saying "No, we won't pay that much given you've only performed well for ___ years (or whatever)." The league will never be that way, but it's just interesting to me. And to your point, if a team were to pass up on paying a QB, it's hard to find a "qualified franchise QB candidate" to replace them with.

@@lyrikalkilla433 it’s smoke screen for both side. Lol. If he signed this huge contract it’s a win for him.

[@easyox77]

He hasn’t done anything, try getting to the playoffs.

[@edselsledge2940]

If he deserves a new contract then EVERY player in the league needs a new contract. Why is he different? He just became a starter and he’s holding up these players these days are just weak 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Kainteeka]

time to overpay him and hope he can do more with less. Sure, he made it to the playoffs and beat an overhyped cowgirls team. He also was on the same team that lost to the falcons, giants....with their backup QB...would have lost to the saints if they didn't injure carr....and made the panthers look like superbowl contenders lol. On top of ending the packers playoff hopes with the ultimate QB no-no decision. I certainly wouldn't pay top dollar for that.

[@deepwood4]

Let him sit home then. Let's get Clifford out there.
