He’ll get a top 5 contract with the ability to be tops in the league if he plays well.
Initially I thought 4 years 205 Million with about 160,000,000 guaranteed. His first big payday with the bonus. I thought that would work great for all.
Now I kinda think it's going to be much more and guys like me who like value won't like the deal. Just my gut feeling

Trevor Lawrence has signed a 5 year, 275 million contract with 200 million guaranteed and 142 million guaranteed at signing. 55 million per year matches Joe Burrow's league-leading contract.

There’s no way he should receive more than Burrows and Lawrence. This should be the ceiling for his new contract.
Lawrence should be the ceiling? His passer rating and QBR were 21st and 18th last year, and those numbers were pretty typical for his career. Love struggled with an inexperienced group of receivers for half a season last year and still put up better numbers than Lawrence.

Might as well call Lawrence the next Josh Allen with a wig. Big arm and choking style are the same. Seems like his brain overloads at the worst moments. He has 5 career tackles in 3 seasons. Bet those are pick6s he stopped. He has thrown 21 more TDs than Love but that is two years worth.
If I was Love I might just hold off. Start the season hot then tear the front office a new one with big money demands.

Why can’t I get this stoned???
Burrows I can at least understand but Lawrence isn’t even a factor IMUO. I believe the way you grow or raise things in this world has a lot to do with quality. Rushed job get rushed results and so on. Both your example got thrown in right away. It worked better for one than the other. Now Joey is damaged goods and didn’t even finish last season. How can you compare that to a young and exciting quarterback that almost knocked off the Super Bowl runner-up in his first postseason. Actually did beat the Super Bowl winner in the season. Most would agree those things don’t happen if it was Love’s true rookie season.
Like wine or aged whiskey he got better waiting for his moment. The Packers have grown strong roots investing in him that are now in full bloom. He is going to get more $$ so be ready cuz it might be a shitload more.
Yep. Seeing Lawrence…. I’m with you guys now. He’s resetting the market.
Mad, I don’t know if you listen to the lockerroom interviews, but Love has an undeniable excitement that he’s trying to hide when he talks about the contract. It looks like it’s pretty much done.
And this Lawrence thing isn’t some sort of surprise to LOVE or his agent. They all talk and know what the other is doing. They help each other drive up prices.
Dude I think he is just excited about everything. Confidence levels are high and he really wants to show the world what he’s got. Has to be looking forward to showing he is worth it and maybe more.
PS I capitalized his name for you. Get it right pinche culero!!

Well, you'd be excited too if the absolute floor for your next contract was 4 years, $212M with $150M guaranteed. With the Lawrence signing, I expect it to be more like 4/224 with 180 guaranteed. Every time another QB signs, Love's price goes up. There's no sanity in this market when a middling QB like Lawrence can get top dollar.

Love looked really bad for about 3 years, the showed promise, then had a really bad half season and a really good half season. Lawrence was the 1st pick in the draft. I hated the TL contact. I have a feeling when Love signs it'll be a foregone conclusion to losing some big time talent. Gooters and Ball IMO and fighting hard to not break the bank

Nah. I watched the clip twice - he doesn't like talking about the contract, at all, but he has this playful smile when the reporters ask if he's heard anything about progress. Then the reporters see that, and ask him if a contract will be done soon, and he just smiles, trying hard not to break out in a grin.
I think it's almost done. Of course the last few details are usually the ones that hold it all up. But I think the outline of the deal is done, at least.
Then it's Kenny Clark's turn, and then let's just talk training camp football!
