Now that the 2023 NFL draft is over, the deadline for NFL teams to pick up fifth-year options on rookie contracts for 2020 first-round draft picks is here.
The Green Bay Packers had an interesting decision with their 2020 No. 26 overall pick QB Jordan Love. Were they going to pick up the option on an unproven player? Well yes, and no. The two sides on Tuesday agreed to a one-year contract extension worth up to $22.5 million (including $13.5 million fully guaranteed), a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The agreement was reached just hours before Tuesday's fifth-year option deadline.
