The Green Bay Packers have done it again.
They extended their franchise quarterback, Jordan Love, to a four-year deal worth $220 million. That contract includes $155 million in guaranteed money and a record-breaking $75 million signing bonus.
This extension makes Love the NFL’s newest highest-paid quarterback after starting just one full season.
And while many people are taking jabs at Love’s inexperience, the real story here is that the Packers organization is a cheat code for quarterbacks.
For years, the NFL world marveled that Green Bay was able to pivot from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers so seamlessly.
