Packers make NFL record $220 mn, four-year deal with Love: reports

Jordan Love has agreed to a new four-year deal with the Green Bay Packers that makes him level with the NFL’s highest-paid players, according to multiple reports on Friday.

The Packers, who moved Love into a starting quarterback role when Aaron Rodgers moved on last year, agreed to a $220 million contract, according to ESPN and the NFL Network.

Love’s deal includes a record $75 million signing bonus.

It matches the biggest NFL contract at $55 million a year with fellow quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence at Jacksonville and Joe Burrow at Cincinnati.

Love, 25, had decided to sit out of the Packers’ pre-season training camp until a deal was complete.

Green Bay and Love agreed on a smaller one-year deal ahead of last season, the signal-caller betting on himself and winning big on Friday.

Love completed 372 of 579 passes for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns last season and ran for 247 yards and four touchdowns in sparking the Packers to a 9-8 campaign and a 48-32 playoff victory at Dallas before losing at San Francisco.

The Packers took Love with the 26th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft rather than seek more blocking and receiving help for Rodgers.

Love spent three seasons as a reserve soaking up lessons from Rodgers, the first two in campaigns when Rodgers was the NFL Most Valuable Player for a third and fourth time.
