Jordan Love signed a new deal with the Packers extending him through 2024, worth $13m guaranteed, with incentives up to a possible $22m.
…I can’t quite figure out why he’d sign that tho, when he basically already guarantees his $3m this year, and forcing their hand to pick up his 5th year option worth ~$20.5m would be fully guaranteed, and instantly guarantees this years salary too.
So his options were, not sign and force them to pick up the option now guaranteeing $23.5m…..or risk losing $10m if they call your bluff and don’t pick it up, only making $3m this year, but with the huge upside of being a UFA on the open market next season.
given he already has $12m from his original contract, and all the hype about his improvements since draft day….you’d think you’d bet on yourself and make them guarantee that full 5th year option, at worst.
