Pete Dougherty Packers Mailbag: Reader Asks About The Timing Of Jordan Love’s Contract
Love’s Contract
I think it’s likely that the Packers will wait until after the 2023 season to make a decision on Love’s future. They’ll want to see how he performs in Matt LaFleur’s offense and whether he’s ready to take over as the starting quarterback.
If Love plays well in 2023, I think the Packers will be more likely to sign him to a long-term extension. But if he struggles, they could let him play out his rookie contract and then make a decision on his future.
Ultimately, the decision will be up to the Packers’ front office. But I think it’s likely that they’ll wait until after the 2023 season to make a decision on Love’s future.”
Packers’ Options
The Packers have several options when it comes to Love’s contract. They could sign him to a long-term extension, let him play out his rookie contract, or trade him.
If they sign him to a long-term extension, it would likely be for four or five years. The extension would give Love some financial security and would also show that the Packers believe in him as their quarterback of the future.
If they let him play out his rookie contract, Love would become a free agent in 2025. He could then sign with any team, including the Packers.
If they trade him, the Packers would likely get a draft pick in return. The draft pick could be used to add depth to the team or to select a player who could help the Packers win a Super Bowl.
Conclusion
The Packers have a lot to consider when it comes to Love’s future. They’ll need to weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.
