Jordan Love could be among the next quarterbacks to receive a contract extension, with reports indicating that negotiations with the Green Bay Packers are moving in a favorable direction.
On Saturday morning, ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler provided an encouraging update on Love’s contract talks. “The Packers and Love have been discussing a new deal,” Fowler noted. “The atmosphere is positive, but progress toward finalizing the contract has been slow.”
Fowler also mentioned that Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is eager to reach an agreement with the quarterback.
The Packers selected Jordan Love with the 26th overall pick in the 2020 draft, but he spent his first three seasons as a backup to Aaron Rodgers. It was only last season that Love had the chance to start, and he made a significant impact. He threw for 4,159 yards, 32 touchdowns, and just 11 interceptions, leading the Packers to a 9-8 record.
Green Bay views Love as a potential franchise quarterback. At 25 years old, his contract is set to expire after the upcoming season, which is driving the Packers’ desire to secure him with a long-term deal.
