OT-Packers locking up J. Love
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
As a Steelers fan, I gotta say that is one beautiful list. I love it. What is nice about Watson, besides the fact that his salary takes up 22% of their cap, is that the Browns gave up three first rounders plus a 3rd & 4th just to give this guy $230 million. And it's guaranteed! A great deal for AFC North rivals of the Browns, but if I was a fan of the Jags, Colts or Titans, I would be pissed. The Texans are good now!
Bears are on the same level with QB's. Time will tell if Caleb can finally be the guy at QB in Chicago.
No way in hell Jerruh will be able to pay Dak, Cee Dee and Micah the money they all want. One will be out.
Exactly why you lock good, young qbs up and don't let other qbs keep resetting the market. Love's deal will be average in 2 years.
FWIW, Love still hasn't signed an extension yet beyond his deal for 2024.

Love holding out, refusing to practice with his team
Wants to be highest paid player in NFL

I didn't see where it was reported that Love wanted to be the highest paid. But let's be honest, he's not going to play for that $10 million this year. But how much more does the guy deserve? He played very well toward the end of the season, but how much of that was playing in the same offense that makes Brock Purdy look decent? Green Bay is going to have to do something though but they have nobody backing him up. No leverage.
I did not see that yet... but assume it's true...that is a royal douche nozzle move from a guy who could not have been treated any better by the organization who drafted him and has stood by him.. Dick move.
He sat for a long time and now is being lowballed.
Perhaps this is payback for poor treatment?
Going to GB has suppressed his value significantly, and that’s not exactly an org famous for taking care of their guys
I think they treated him great.
Drafted him when Rogers was still in his prime, and chose him over Rogers before he had proven anything, and signed him to a second deal when he had done nothing to earn it yet. Not sure what else they could have done to show him mad respect....and I agree he probably deserves more money, but the flip side is he signed the contract, and has a year left....now he's holding the team hostage after how well he's been treated.
Part of me thinks the worst here...that he knows he caught lightening in a bottle for the last half of the season, and wants to cash in before he turns into a pumpkin...AKA-doesn't follow it up this season.
What's to stop Jerruh from dipping into his own pockets a bit to keep them all around. The man is getting old and desperately wants a super bowl, sort of what our buddy Phil Knight is doing now.
That core group of players Jerrah thinks he can't live without has won what...2 playoff games??
I dont think so. Wouldnt bet any large amoynt of money on it but I could have swore they resigned him to a new deal.
Yes, but they extended him instead of using the team option. The extension gave him more money than the option.
which shows what? mad respect. Like I said, they have done right by him so far. Dick move on his part if what kong posted is true about holding out and wanting to be highest paid.
I know as a Bears fan who has been totally owned by Packers QBs for 30 years you want it to be true. He is at practices. He is going to meetings. He's just not practicing until his deal is done. Last I heard it will be done by weeks end. Maybe the highest paid. Maybe not. 56 a year will be my guess.

It’s cheap
Which is what GB are notorious for
Funny that fans thought they’d get a discount
Now they’re getting bent over a barrel by a guy who’s won what 10 games?
It must be that illusion called Green Bay Packer stock that is clouding the fans judgement.

Are you really throwing shade at a team who has hit on all 3 QB's in 30 years? Hall of fame, MVP, Super Bowl Champion QB's. Do I really need to post the many, many, many misses you have had at QB in that same time frame? It will be done. It doesn't make sense to drag it out. Dak and Tua have yet to sign. That will reset the market once again. Even though neither is as good as J. Love. Have some patience old boy. Jordan will be out there owning the Bears on the field with a new contract soon enough.
I just find it difficult to believe
isn't extending him instead of picking up the option the exact opposite of being cheap?

They definitely could have used the team option. I didn't take the time to break down how much more the extension paid him but it was a friendly gesture either way. That was done in the spring of 2023 I believe. Before he had proven anything.
No.
It’s an attempt to kick the actual spending down the road.
Blatant and obvious.
Love is calling their bluff while cashing that pittance. I respect it.
Totally backwards to choose the Packers as an organization to dog on in their handling of QBs..Take the last 3 QBs of any NFL team and collectively, the Pack have the best and it isn’t close. Take the last two and collectively, the longevity isn’t close either. Let’s see how it plays out.
NFL Insider: Jordan Love to Be Highest-Paid QB; Packers Contract Expected This Week
Keep refreshing your phones, Green Bay Packers fans. The Jordan Love contract news reportedly could "break any minute." That is what Dianna Russini of The…
bleacherreport.com
That is what Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported on Tuesday during a conversation with Chase Daniel (2:30 mark). She expects it "to get wrapped up this week" and also suggested he will become the highest-paid signal-caller in the league.
"I believe Jordan Love is going to be the highest-paid quarterback in football when this does wrap up," Russini reported.
"I do believe that he's going to beat out both Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow, right? So, you figure they are the highest paid quarterbacks right now, making around $55 million a year. It's all about guaranteeing money, right? That is always going to be the topic of conversations when doing these deals in terms of the importance.
"And so, from what I was told, they are still trying to knock out the final language of this contract. But both sides have been very consistent that they feel good about it, and it should be done not later, but sooner."
This comes after Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters Monday a deal is "close" and that Love is holding out until there is an agreement.
Yeah...no. Team spent more than they needed to, and at that point he had done so little and looked so questionable he was thought to be a bust. Yet they paid him more than they needed to anyway.
