Analyst Believes There Is No Panic For Packers with Jordan Love

As we move through the NFL offseason and get closer to training camp, one major task remains; sign quarterback Jordan Love to a contract extension. After signing a contract during the 2023 offseason, the 2020 first-round pick is set to hit free agency next season.

That isn’t something that he or the Green Bay Packers want to see happen. Both sides are motivated to get a deal done, as general manager Brian Gutekunst has said finalizing something before training camp is the goal.

With just a few weeks until training camp, how much worry should there be? In the opinion of Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report, there should be none at all. He set the panic meter for the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love at its lowest point, a 1-out-of-10.

“When reporters asked the Utah State product if he would play out the final year of his contract, he said, “We’ll see,” which created some speculation about a potential holdout.

Love may not have to ponder that situation much longer because Gutekunst sounds motivated to sign him to an extension before the team returns to the practice field in the summer,” Moton wrote.

It would be hard to imagine Jordan Love not playing this season. He has been a participant in all of the offseason workouts, insinuating that he won’t be holding out once the summer rolls around.

Getting a deal done as soon as possible makes sense for the Green Bay Packers. The quarterback market isn’t going to be getting any cheaper. The extension that Jared Goff signed with the Detroit Lions can be used as a baseline for Jordan Love.

Goff has vastly more experience than Love does, with the Utah State product having one half-season stretch of great football. Despite the sample size, the franchise is convinced he is their next franchise quarterback.

With several other young signal callers also up for new contracts, things will only get more expensive the longer the Green Bay Packers wait to strike a deal. Getting it complete soon will also be one less distraction during training camp.
