Predict the new money on Jordan Love’s new deal

[RashanGary]

He’s got a year left on his current deal, so whatever he signs for, this last year will average in and it will be slightly more friendly. But just new money, what’s he going to get?

[bobblehead]

I went big. It will be too much, but its what the market bears.

[Upnorth]

I would love to see a longer term high incentive contract.

I voted based on hope.

I bet it will be in that 3 year 38 to 42 mill range

[RashanGary]

Twitter saying it’s gonna be 50 per in new money. Seems a little high to me.

[Fosco33]

We’ll see if Love cares about short term cash OR rings and fame.

Twitter saying it’s gonna be 50 per in new money. Seems a little high to me.

And Twitter is never wrong. I said 40-45. We'll see. 50 per year would put him at #5 right now. 45 at #8. 40 at #10. 50 per on an extension can't be ruled out since he's set to make less than 10 in 2024.

I said 40-45 too. Didn’t realize 50 was #5. Damn. They have the last year of his deal 10M. And then two years of franchise tags (40 per) So they already have him on a 3 year 90 deal, practically speaking. That puts him at a disadvantage in negotiations and motivates his side to want to get a deal done.

50 is fair…. With the way the leverage is in the teams favor, 42.5 seems doable….. But there is the matter of being disrespectful… 47.5M per in new money is my new guess.

[RashanGary]

4 years 47.5M per year in new money
Add in his one year 10M existing deal

That brings us to 5 years, 200M. A nice even number. And it’s that magic number where 200M really feels substantial. We can stop the discussion. This is the contract. Write it down in pen because it’s not changing.

I want to see him signed long term - as many as 8 or 10 years for more - with a healthy bonus and a strongly backloaded contract that on paper is way up there - $40-50 million per season on average, maybe even more. On the slim chance (IMO) that he turns to shit, this is the NFL, not MLB - they could always cut him before the backloaded part. And if he trends upward from very good now to great in the future, which I see as likely, then we have him signed for the prime of his career.

[Joemailman]

Neither side would likely want to do an 8-10 year deal unless the numbers were really in their favor. Reason being is the uncertainty of what the market for a top QB will be that far into the future.

[Bretsky]

Keep in mind his agent is the same as Danny Dimes. NO WAY it's less than the 4 year 160MIL he signed.

I think it's going to in the 45 to 50 range; maybe we REDO his deal for next year and he gives us a bargain to it averages the 40-45 range

[texaspackerbacker]

That's why it would be good for the team - it certainly isn't gonna go down over time. I didn't say I predicted it, I said I WANTED 8 or 10 or more years. The team will likely be pushing for as long as possible. Love and his agent probably won't want quite that much.

[Bretsky]

I think it's 4; it gives GB time and Love time to get a bigger deal if he excels. Keep him hungry

[red]

i'll put this here

i got this idea off of some podcast yesterday

IF, lefleur doesn't shit the bed by sticking with his good buddy at DC instead had hired an even average DC, we are probably looking at a 10-12 win team that is for sure a solid playoff team

in his first year as a starter with targets made up of nothing but rookies and 2nd year guys (one who seems to be always injured), an o-line that is OK at best, and a top weapon RB who has missed about half the year. Love has put up numbers just as good as anyone else

the question is. if we had a competent defense (and not one of the worst in the NFL) and were making a solid playoff run, would jordan love, in his first year starting, actually be in the running for the MVP?

i think yes. and it blows my mind

[bobblehead]

Red, I would argue that if we squeak into the playoffs Love WILL get MVP votes. There was an article on it from one of the packer sites and his numbers are comparable to the contenders. Let me look it up quick.

Love: 3,587 passing yards
27 passing touchdowns
11 interceptions
91.8 passer rating
3 rushing touchdowns

Brock Purdy: 4,050 yards, 29 TDs, 11 INTs, 112.2 rating, 2 rushing TDs
Jalen Hurts: 3,636 yards, 20 TDs, 13 INTs, 89.6 rating, 14 rushing TDs
Lamar Jackson: 3,357 yards, 19 TDs, 7 INTs, 97.2 rating, 5 rushing TDs
Patrick Mahomes: 3,938 yards, 26 TDs, 14 INTs, 91.7 rating
Josh Allen: 3,778 yards, 27 TDs, 15 INTs, 93.7 rating, 13 rushing TDs
Tua Tagovailoa: 4,214 yards, 26 TDs, 10 INTs, 105.5 rating
Dak Prescott: 3,892 yards, 30 TDs, 7 INTs, 104.2 rating, 2 rushing TDs

If you factor in what he is working with, he deserves to be in the conversation. Now I'm speculating, but I bet if you looked at late season results he is better than most of that list. I think he only has one pick in the last 5 games.
