After Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers agreed to a one-year agreement that may be worth up to $22.5 million, the Packers were able to shed some light on their quarterback position beyond the 2023 campaign.
The agreement replaces Love’s fifth-year option and includes $13.5 million in guarantees, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Field Yates of ESPN offered an explanation of the conditions of the contract:
His ascent represents a reset for the entire company.
With an 8-9 record, Green Bay’s three-year playoff run came to an end in 2022. When assessing Love, it produced the worst possible situation.
The Packers were in a position to maybe pack it in over the closing weeks with one or two more losses when they were 4-8. It made sense to bench Rodgers and give Love a few starts; the front staff would have gained some understanding of Love’s future projections that way.
Rather, Green Bay triumphed in four straight games to renew its prospects for the postseason and keep Rodgers in the starting lineup.
Love, who has only attempted 83 passes in his NFL career, is now starting his fourth season.
When the 24-year-old replaced Rodgers for his lone start against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021, he appeared outmatched. He completed 19 of 34 passes for 190 yards, one interception, and one touchdown.
When Love was called into action during a Week 12 game against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022, things were a little different. The Packers lost 40-33 despite him going 6-of-9 for 113 yards and one touchdown.
