Jordan Love anticipates signing contract extension before training camp starts

Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst has expressed a commitment to getting Jordan Love’s contract extension completed by training camp, stating that both sides are motivated to finalize the deal. Love himself has high expectations for the extension, stating that he has been informed that talks are progressing in that direction. He stays updated on the developments with the help of his agent and anticipates that negotiations will intensify after the conclusion of the offseason program this week. The Packers are set to begin camp on July 22.

Last May, Love signed an extension that included a signing bonus of $8.789 million, increasing his average annual pay to $13.5 million. With his impressive performance last season, passing for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns, the Packers have displayed confidence in Love as a long-term replacement for Aaron Rodgers. They are willing to compensate him accordingly. The recent extension of Jared Goff with the Lions, which offers an average of $53 million per season, could serve as a model for Love’s upcoming deal.

Throughout the offseason program, Love has been actively participating and demonstrating his commitment to the team. As the program nears its end, the focus will shift towards finalizing his contract extension before the start of training camp.
