The Packers have signed Jordan Love to the richest contract for a quarterback in NFL history, per multiple reports. The four-year deal is for $220 million.
Love, 25, was the No. 26 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Last season, in his first full year as a starter, he started all 17 games for Green Bay, throwing for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 96.1 passer rating. Love led the Packers to the playoffs for the first time since 2021 and threw five touchdowns and two picks across two games.
The new contract also includes a record $75 million signing bonus, plus $155 million in new full guarantees, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
The new contract pays Love more than his contemporaries, including Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes, Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson. His deal seemingly resets the quarterback market after extensions signed by Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence earlier this summer. Love’s new agreement will pay him an average of $55 million annually, equaling the amount shared by Burrow and Lawrence, ESPN reported.
Before Love’s new deal, he was entering the final year of a contract set to pay him $11 million in 2024.
