The Packers are getting ready to pay quarterback Jordan Love more this season than the Bears owe Caleb Williams for the next four years.

For the Packers, making the investment is a good problem to have. For the Bears, though, it’s an opportunity.

Only three teams in the NFL are paying less for quarterbacks than this year’s Bears. It figures to stay that way, too — Williams is making $39 million over his four-year rookie contract and backup Tyson Bagent is in Year 2 of a three-year deal worth only $2.
