Trevor Lawrence just got 55 per and none of his 3 seasons starting compare to Jordan Love in 2023.

Yeah, it's a weird spot because he only did it for one year, but then again he was a first round pick. Burrow got 5 years, $275M so was kinda basing it on that, but I just noticed his guaranteed is $219M. Holy lord.

No offense, but some of y’all just don’t have a good grasp on the QB market lol
$30m a year, $40m a year for a 25-year old QB who just threw 32 TDs and delivered a playoff win is not going to happen. |

Pack don't have a choice. He has no money past this year so Love holds all the cards.

So the only choice is to pay him $50 million/yr? And what if he ends up being closer to Danny Dimes than Aaron Rodgers? I mean not for nothing, but look at the list of QBs making more than $40 million/yr: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contract...erage/dir/desc How many of those guys are really worth those contracts? Even excluding Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Stafford (we'll just assume they're all worth their $$$), how many of those guys earned their $$$ last year or since they got their new contracts? 1? 2? not very many. I mean, I get that the QB market dictates what they get paid. But I would do everything in my power in GB to avoid putting my entire franchise in a massive cap hole just because Jordan Love played well for 8 whole games last season when he was close to being called a bust prior to Week 9 last year. |

I understand that a lot of what goes into contract talks is what’s been done, but you’re really paying the guy for what he’s about to do. The front office and coaching staff see Love every day in practice. They should have a good idea of his potential, especially after a HoF QB just left the franchise.

Well, all I can say is I wouldn't do it. Not $50M. I might structure the contract so that it looks superficially like he could make $50M/yr, but the real $$$ wouldn't equal more than $40M/yr tops. 8 decent games is just way too small a sample size. |
