Football Jordan Love holding out - Page 5

Jordan Love will not practice until he has a new deal, Brian Gutekunst says. Love’s camp informed Packers of that decision Saturday.

Gutekunst says a deal could get done in the coming days, but you never know. Says big deals take time.

They should pay him. He is one of the few QB's that look dangerous.

one good season, I wouldn't break the bank if I were the packers. Maybe something along the lines of a 3 year $100 mill deal

:-) That's not happening.

Revenge for keeping him on the bench behind the old man.

Probably not, he probably thinks he deserves north of Pat Mahomes money which is ludicrous IMO. But that's where the NFL is at with QBs

More like 3 years/$150 million.

Honestly, I don’t think he’d take that (wanting a longer deal with more money locked in).

That would be an insulting deal considering what other QBs with less upside and talent are making.

Probs a close to top of market deal with less guaranteed money due to small performance sample size.

I'd rather be paying Love than a lot of these other QBs.

Sure, there's more risk, but more upside as well.

I mean. If there is no guaranteed money teams can cut them and not honor it?

Trevor Lawrence just got $55M per year including $200M guaranteed. So yeah, the market is crazy. Teams either pay the market rate or start over with a different guy.

Insulting? Think that's an overstatement.

Love lost 6 of his first 9 games last season. His overall regular season record since joining the NFL is an Eli Manning-esque 9-9-0. And some of those losses in 2023 were against the likes of an ATL team led by the hapless Desmond Ridder, LVR sporting one of the worst secondaries of this century, DEN:-), and a QB-less PIT.

I wouldn't pay Love more than 3 years/$100 million for 8 good games out of 27, especially when considering his complete lack of production in his first 10 games prior to last season. Basically, if you pay him top-10 $$$ you're doing it solely because his TD/INT ratio is great, and his Passer Rating last season was 96.1.

The problem for GB is that they really should be trying to avoid shitting their pants the way DAL and WAS did with Dak and Cousins. Mostly they need to avoid the Dak scenario of way overpaying a QB for a partial good season and screwing their cap for the next 5 years.
