Jordan Love holding out

[wazu]

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.

I'm perfectly fine with the Packers hogging the good QBs. Keep them out of the AFC, please.

That’s exactly how I see it. Players are not doing anything that teams are not.

Ok short bus. NFL teams can and do refuse to “honor” contracts.

“A player who signs a five-year deal has better odds of lasting one year (14.7 percent) than he does of lasting five years (13.7 percent). Players who sign four-year contracts in free agency have the exact same odds of lasting one year on the deal (23.1 percent) as lasting four years. Players on three-year contracts have roughly the same odds of the deal ending in one full season or less (34.3 percent) as they do of lasting the full term (36.2 percent). Less than half of players who sign two-year deals last two years (45.8 percent), and one-sixth don’t even make it through the first year.”

32 ****ing years of good QB play at worst. That franchise needs to be humbled and have a Matt Cassel of their own soon

Imagine only getting 2 SB's out of 30 years of tier 1 franchise QB play though. Man that's got to be frustrating.

Every single contract that's signed, both the player and the team understand the guaranteed $, the outs in the contract, the potential value etc....

Its neither an advantage to the team or player unless the player and their agent are just dumb which is possible.

This. Players could get a guaranteed contract for less money. But they all opt for more money now and imaginary money later. They know the risk.

Curious your source on this. Got a link? Genuinely intrigued on the breakdown and want to see what else there is to be said.

That’s not what short bus was saying, though.

Almost as bad as your political takes. Green Bay is basically a college town where people live, eat, and breathe Packers.

Poor coaching since Lombardi left.

[displacedinMN]

bummer

[Gee]

A bit overreaching I'd say and reports say he's not even practicing with the team until a new deal is reached with preseason right around the corner and only one full season starting.

[BWillie]

I wouldn't pay him shit yet

Love was close to Lamar in uncatchable passes

Can’t post links.
