Jordan Love is aware of he will receives a commission by the Inexperienced Bay Packers.
He has each motive to imagine that he is the way forward for the group after throwing for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns (11 interceptions) final season whereas main the Packers to the divisional spherical of the playoffs.
He one way or the other did it. He is “the man” who changed “the man” (Aaron Rodgers) who changed “the man” (Brett Favre).
He signed a one-year contract extension final season when the Packers had been uncertain if he was going to have the ability to change Rodgers, however they needed him to have a shot to show himself.
Now that he is proved himself, although? Nicely frankly, from his perspective, each snap he takes this offseason is harmful. If he will get damage whereas getting ready for what might be a Tremendous Bowl run in 2024, he might be dropping out on a ton, long-term.
That is why some gamers in Love’s scenario select to take a seat out OTAs, that are elective.
For his half, although, Love has been in attendance at OTAs similar to he has been each offseason of his younger profession. For him, now that he is “the man,” it is concerning the chemistry of the group. The contract half will come.
“I imply that is simply one thing that I’ve at all times completed — making an attempt to be right here, get the reps in, get the work in with the blokes and simply begin constructing that chemistry and preparing for the season,” Love stated, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
It isn’t like Love is totally oblivious to the monetary implications of enjoying with out a long-term deal. He did inform the media that his agent hasn’t advised him to take a seat out with out a long-term deal, however he was particularly requested if he wouldn’t play in 2024 with out a new contract and he wasn’t as clear.
“We’ll see,” Love stated Tuesday. “I do not know but. We’ll see.”
It is in Inexperienced Bay’s finest curiosity to pay Love, so it is a deal that can get completed sooner relatively than later — probably even earlier than coaching camp.
Per Spotrac, Love’s worth might be within the four-year, $191 million vary ($47.8 million per 12 months).
It is value noting that division rival Jared Goff simply signed a four-year, $212 million contract with the Detroit Lions value a mean of $53 million a 12 months.
