Jordan Love becomes highest-paid NFL QB in history with $220M Packers contract
NY Post
The largest deal for a quarterback in NFL history was agreed to Friday.
Jordan Love reached an agreement with the Packers on a four-year, $220M contract extension, which makes him the highest-paid quarterback in the league’s history, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
He will also get a $75 million signing bonus, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The lucrative deal averages out to $55M per year, tying him with Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence, who signed in June.
His deal matched Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow.
The offer — which keeps him under team control through the 2028 season — means Love can join his teammates on the field after previously electing to sit out training camp until a deal was consummated.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
