Yah, at the very least, I'd want to see him play an entire season of good football before I hand him $50M/yr for the next 5 years, not just 8 games.

You know, there's another question. Who's going to pay him? How many decent teams actually need a QB and have the cap space to shell out that kind of $$$? I mean, sure there's a lot of teams that could use a better QB, but how many have the space to get it done, and are good enough besides the QB to make that switch palatable to Love?

If the Packers were concerned about seeing body of work before committing, they really shouldn’t have ****ed themselves by sitting the guy for the first three years of his career and declining the 5th-year option.
They did this to themselves. |

Take a look at the cap space by tab. Looking into the future, 2025, 2026, etc. There are a ton of teams who could make it work. |

This is all academic, though. Reports sound like a deal is close. Probably done this week so we can all see for ourselves what the price tag was. |

Yeah, it's just a fun hypothetical exercise. Sure GB will retain him, it's just a question of whether they screw themselves a la DAL and Dak for example, or if they find a way to mitigate some of the risk. My guess is the guaranteed $$$ will equate to about $40M/yr, but the contract superficially will look like $50M/yr.

That's quite nice for JLove. I hope he gets a very large contract, maybe he can eventually join the 3 comma club.

Came out of nowhere a bit but the statement sounded like they're close. It will be an interesting contract to see.

I’d feel very comfortable giving him the going rate… Tua on the other hand… not a chance. That will be a Daniel Jones 2.0 situation

Defending what? This is the new norm for NFL QBs. If teams are going to bend over backwards to hand even relatively average talent 50+ million annually and guarantee a huge portion of it, are we supposed to be mad at the players for taking advantage?

We don't need to blame a team for not wanting to give a guy with 1 full season of starts $50MM a year as well.

That's fine, if they don't feel comfortable paying him the best available option is to trade him. Because there's a handful of teams that gladly would.

Anyone with eyes could see he was an ascending player. One of the best QB’s in the league last year and a historic playoff debut.
They’re going to pay him

I'd also feel pretty confident paying him because he's one of the only elite talents at the position in the NFC.
