When you look at contracts like burrow and herbert and mahomes, teams basically use the first year of the contract to absorb a huge cash bonus. It seems like most of these deals are dirt cheap the first 1-2 years then explode up. So a contract extension kind of accomplishes that anyway except that Jordan love has financial security and green bay doesn't risk losing him.
Green bay actually may take a bit of a discount because there's some uncertainty. If love has a halfway decent year his value will explode. Considering how hard it is to find qbs these days it's probably a risk worth taking because if they wait too long it could be very costly next off-season
