What kind of contract extension do you think Jordan Love will get? He's 25 years old and is under contract through 2024 with a base salary of $10.5m.

The Packers projected to have just over $103m in salary cap space in 2025. However, only 37 players under contract through 2025.

If I'm Jordan Love, I'm probably looking for a 2 or 3 year deal fully guaranteed.

2 yr / $65m
3 yr / $90m

This gives him guaranteed cash and allows him to rock out and hit new money when he's 28 and really hitting his stride during his prime.

BUT

He'll probably get a 4 year / $160m type deal.

For what it is worth, Aaron Rodgers signed a 6 year $63.52 million contract with Green Bay in 2008.

Here's some top QB salaries. What kind of contract do you think Jordan Love will get?

I think you're very low, Salaries are often determined by percentage of cap (of the year of signing) and how good of a player you think they are.

There were a ton of QBs signed in 2023 making it fairly easy to compare.

2023 QB signed contracts in Millions Per Year and then percentages using $224.8 million cap.
$55.0 - Joe Burrow - 24.5%
$52.5 - Justin Herbert - 23.4%
$52.0 - Lamar Jackson - 23.1%
$51.0 - Jalen Hurts - 22.7%
$40.0 - Daniel Jones - 17.8%
$37.5 - Derek Carr - 16.7%
$25.0 - Geno Smith - 11.1%
$24.25 - Jimmy Garoppolo 10.8%

I'm guessing Love's agent would be starting at 25% and wouldn't let Love go below 22%, so let's say 22.5%. Looking at one of the 2024 Cap Predictions, they use $242.5 million. That's a tad more than 54.56 million per year.

Of course, it'll probably look better than that, as it'll be an extension, using his current 2024 of $11 million. So I'm thinking 4 year $175 million or 5 year $230 million extension. That's actually new money of 3 years $164 million or 4 years 218 million.

I also think Love is smart and realizes he will do better on the next one if the team does better, ergo he wants to make sure the team has the money to get/keep talent.
Go Packers!!!!

I think we're forgetting what Aaron Rodgers got in comparison to others. And forgetting those guys mentioned had numerous starting seasons compared to Jordan Love just having one.

I also agree with you though that I'm probably on the low end. I do think there are more pieces of information we should consider.

Sign him to a contract that gives decent money his first few years and then can reconstructure down the line.

Either way, hes our guy so we need to lock him up

I LOVE the kid. I want him to be our guy....AND, he soiled the bed with two interceptions when it mattered most. The two feeling are not mutually exclusive.

Soiled the bed on last interception for sure, not both. He and Aaron Jones weren't on same page. Jordan expected Aaron to squat on the route. Aaron kept moving. This "bad" throw bounced off Jones hands and gets picked.

everything I have seen has him right around the $40 to $43 million a year, but if I am the Packers i don't give a long term huge deal. I like a 5 year deal because after all he shit the bed the 1st half of the year and it was only his 1st year. I feel confident but still do it a few years before you mortgage the future of the team. I think the Eagles made a huge mistake on Hurts they gave him the huge contract off 1 year and look how bad he was this year. So $43 million a year for 4 or 5 years is good and guarantee 4 years to make him happy.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be šŸ™‚ (PS, Zero should charge for this)
