Jordan Love Stays Tight Lipped on No. 1 WR in Green Bay: “Wanna Keep It That Way”

The quarterback market has been on an upward trajectory, setting new records year after year. Just when it seemed like Dak Prescott might be the latest player to shake things up, rumors about Jordan Love and his upcoming contract with the Green Bay Packers have hit the market. Chances are that the new deal for Love could potentially reset the market entirely.

While many are making their own guesses on the situation, Kay Adams tried to get specifics about Love’s contract on an episode of the ‘Up and Adams Show.’ NFC reporter Carmen Vitali from Fox Sports weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Love’s deal might set a new precedent, especially as the Packers are keen on keeping him as the starter.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Jordan Love does reset the market because this is Green Bay’s quarterback going forward. There is no question about that. Within the organization, there is no question about that,” Vitali noted.

Breaking trends such as these attract a lot of attention from the community. Therefore, Vitali’s words also received its fair share of scrutiny from the fans, who mostly suggested that this might not be a good idea for the Packers.

Despite the buzz among fans, the reality is that the situation remains unresolved. Love’s new deal is still in the works, and now it reportedly has a noticeable impact on the Packers’ practice sessions.

Packers Practice Will Go Forward Without Love

Jordan Love has decided to sit out of Packers practice as his contract negotiations remain in limbo. While he will continue to attend meetings and participate in other team activities, Love won’t be hitting the field until his new deal is finalized.

Green Bay Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed that Love’s decision is due to the unresolved contract extension.

“We certainly understand where he’s coming from,” Gutekunst said. However, he isn’t happy about the situation either. “We’d like him to be out there. It’s important for him to be out there. Obviously, you guys know how important practice is, and working with his teammates. But as of now, until we get that resolved, he will not be practicing,” he remarked.

Despite this, Gutekunst expressed optimism about reaching an agreement soon, noting that both sides want the same outcome. For now, Love’s absence means the Packers are relying on Sean Clifford and rookie Michael Pratt as their available quarterbacks during training camp.

Moreover, Coach Matt LaFleur is confident in Love’s preparation, as he praised the quarterback’s ability to keep himself in top shape in the meantime.
