One of the biggest breakout players of the 2023 season has been Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love and the Packers are ready to reward him for it.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Love isn’t eligible to sign a new contract until May since that’s when the Packers and Love renovated his deal last off-season but when they pass that eligibility date, the Packers are expected to mark Love one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
“But he’s going to want to get a deal done, they’re going to want to get a deal done,” Schefter reported. “And if and when they both get together to get that deal done in May, or shortly thereafter, it is expected to make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the game because that’s the way that he played and they’re going to want to lock him up and make sure that he’s not leaving Green Bay.”
The question about whether or not Love is going to be the longterm quarterback of the Packers was answered. Over the Packers’ final nine games, he threw for 2,439 yards and 20 touchdowns to just three interceptions. His 62.1 QBR for the year was ninth-best among qualified quarterbacks.
Love lead the Packers to a victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Round, throwing for 272 yards and three touchdowns and while he didn’t have his best night in San Francisco in the Divisional Round, that isn’t going to scare the Packers away.
