Packers Agree to One-Year Extension With QB Jordan Love, per Report

With Aaron Rodgers gone, the Utah State product is poised for a bigger role in 2023.
In this story:

In the wake of one of the most consequential trades in franchise history, the Packers appear to have locked down their quarterback of the future for another season.

Green Bay has agreed to a one-year, $22.5 million extension with quarterback Jordan Love, according to a Tuesday morning report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Per the report, Love will earn $13.5 million fully guaranteed in 2024, when the extension kicks in.

Love’s four-year, $12 million rookie deal was set to expire at the end of 2023. The Packers picked the Utah State product with the 26th selection of the 2020 draft.

In his first three seasons, Love has seen minimal action. In 10 games across 2021 and ’22, he threw for 606 yards with three touchdowns against three interceptions.

However, the door is open for Love to start in ’23 after Green Bay traded four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the Jets for draft compensation on April 24.
