The Green Bay Packers have secured their future under center, as quarterback Jordan Love has signed a new landmark contract extension that makes him the highest-paid player in franchise history. The deal, confirmed by sources close to the team, is a significant commitment to Love as the team transitions away from the Aaron Rodgers era.
The five-year extension, valued at a reported $240 million, includes a fully guaranteed signing bonus and performance-based incentives that could push the total value even higher. The contract ensures that Love, who became the starting quarterback for the Packers in 2024, will remain with the team through the 2030 season.
“This is a huge moment for me, for my family, and for the Packers organization,” Love said during a press conference at Lambeau Field. “I’m honored to be a part of this storied franchise, and I’m excited to continue growing with this team and working toward championships.”
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst expressed excitement over the deal, calling Love the cornerstone of the team’s future. “Jordan has shown incredible maturity and talent since joining us. We believe he is ready to lead the Packers for many years to come, and this contract reflects our belief in his abilities.”
Love, drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, took over as the Packers’ starting quarterback following Aaron Rodgers’ trade to the New York Jets in the offseason. Despite limited playing time in his first three seasons, Love’s growth has been evident, with impressive performances throughout the 2024 season. He has already begun to solidify his place among the top young quarterbacks in the league.
This deal marks a new chapter for the Packers as they embrace a new era with Love at the helm. The move also solidifies Green Bay’s commitment to building around their young star with the hopes of future playoff runs and potential Super Bowl victories.
