Jordan Love Contract Rumors: Green Bay Packers Getting Ready to Commit With a Massive Deal

As training camp inches closer, the rumor mill is starting to heat up. Trades and contracts are being discussed at this very moment, and one of the biggest rumors circulating is that Jordan Love is close to finding common ground with the Packers to remain in Green Bay as their future play-caller.

According to multiple sources on ‘X,’ an agreement between the two sides is close. The offer on the table is reportedly $280 million over five years, which would surpass the current contracts of the league’s highest-paid QBs, Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence.

Love was strategically drafted and developed to succeed Aaron Rodgers and the plan has worked out perfectly for the publicly-owned franchise. Now, this contract is poised to put a stamp on the narrative that Love will take the baton forward in the post-Rodgers era.

Notably, the Packers recently disclosed their annual earnings, totaling about $400 million last year. Coupled with their smart management of over $200 million in cap space, they should be more than comfortable handing out this gigantic contract to their superstar QB.

After Favre and Rodgers, the Packers remained doubtful until Love took the field and led the team like his life depended on it. Taking a mediocre roster to a 9-8 record and winning the Wild Card bout against Dallas is a testament to Love’s potential.

But it seems not all is well within the Packers’ camp. Fans, or at least social media users, believe it may be too early for the QB to secure such a contract and that the club might regret this decision in the future.
