The Packers have signed Jordan Love to the richest contract for a quarterback in NFL history, per multiple reports. The four-year deal is for $220 million. Love, 25, was the No. 26 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Last season, in his first full year as a starter, he started all 17 games for Green Bay, throwing for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 96.1 passer rating.
Love’s new agreement will pay him an average of $55 million annually, equaling the amount shared by Burrow and Lawrence, ESPN reported. Before Love’s new deal, he was entering the final year of a contract set to pay him $11 million in 2024. The Packers drafted Love in 2020 despite still having former NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers under contract at the time. Rodgers would continue to be the team’s starter for three more seasons through 2022.
