Love Signs Extension

[MadtownPacker]

Seems like a reasonable deal for both sides that was close to what many expected based on Trevor’s deal with the Jags. Now the team can put their full focus toward a SB run. Maybe Love just had it out for Tua and was waiting for him to sign so he could steal his thunder.

No sir, it’s because Tua hasn’t won a playoff game and didn’t beat Mahomes.

Seeing reports of Jordan Love deal.
Sensed the sticking point was Packers wanting longer extension, 5 or 6 years. Love able to get a 4-yr extension after his agents did same for Tua.
Love will be negotiating again - when the market is over $60M per year - before age 30.
Win.

Not sure a longer contract would matter much since they all want to renegotiate after three years anyway.

You can make an argument that the Packers may have wanted the shorter contract. Less commitment until he proves that he is the player he was at the end of last season, and not something less than that, like in the first half of last year.

great point

packers like to renegotiate after a few years too these days to push cap hits back

Feels like an awfully big contract. I get that's the cost and it is what it is but dang, doesn't look good.

i thought the same thing at first

but love is a starting QB, and a franchise QB at that. he was gonna get a massive deal no matter if it was the top contract (55 million) or a mid tier starting QB (45 million ish)

I don't think they've had any doubts since he outplayed, and beat Justin Herbert, Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes in successive weeks.

1. Love, $55 million
1. Trevor Lawrence, $55 million
1. Joe Burrow, $55 million
4. Tua Tagovailoa, $53.1 million
5. Jared Goff, $53.0 million
6. Justin Herbert, $52.5 million
7. Lamar Jackson, $52 million
8. Jalen Hurts, $51 million

The market price for QB's is at an all time high. But out of these 8 quarterbacks, which one would you really rather have?

For me? Jordan love without hesitation.

So, they signed Sloth McKinney and the Filipino Bulldog (Jacobs). They overpaid once again for Cletidius Clark’s service. And they made the Lovemaker a member of the “highest paid” club.

It ain’t many a-moons ago, clueless Pack fans, like, Bobble, Stud, Run and the Kentucky were barking about the Packers burning in the dreaded “cap hell.”

How the fuck do you sign McKinney, Jacobs, Cletidius and Love at market rates while in a fucking cap hell?

Never, ever question my cap acuity/ingenuity again.

[MadtownPacker]

Wow congrats Anti-Tank Bear, you’re good enough with guessing numbers. But I can’t look up to some chump that couldn’t get laid in Vegas. Sorry man but have a code to live by.

Even though you will run away from the question, who the hell else would they get to QB the team?

[Joemailman]

As many have suggested, it's really a 3 year extension and then a renegotiation.

You spend $7,000,000 on your whole WR room. Trade ARod last year and cut Bacteria.

The market price for QBs is always at an all-time high. I would take Love over the others, too, but not at a huge premium. Love still has to prove season-long dominance. He could still turn out to be a hot and cold performer. I don't think that will be the case, but, until he demonstrates long-term consistency, he has question marks, just like the others.
