Here's the pertinent section of the CBA.

So CBA only blocks them, when the team wants it to block them, as it's an excuse.

There's also the element of when it applies against the salary cap. So, the Packers could negotiate with the players agent about the missed incentive. "Hey, it was two snaps, can we get a $2m kick on bonus?". That's not paying out the incentive on the rookie contract, it's just not being douchebags over two snaps, lol.

Edit: Jordan Love was given a one year deal in place of the 5th year option. So rookie contract was four years and was exhausted and Packers gave him one year deal.

The bottom line for me, is that if the Packers wanted to, they could give him a brand new contract, that looked exactly the same as his current one, but with the extra money that he missed out on... if they wanted to.

They don't want to, and that's smart of them. I'm NOT knocking the decision... just noting that it's the Packers decision, not the the CBA that's actually stopping them from doing so.

Keeping the rest of the contract the same

Saying they can't do it, is just a BS verbal excuse.
