Packers quarterback Jordan Love does not appear to have any plans — at least for now — to skip Green Bay's offseason workouts even without the security of a long-term contract.
Jordan Love finished his first full season as an NFL starting quarterback strong. He helped lift the Green Bay Packers to a playoff berth and a blowout postseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. Love, a 2020 first round draft pick, is only tied to the Packers through the 2024 season. He signed a one-year extension with the team last May. If his representatives and the Packers fail to come to agreement at some point over the next several months, the quarterback could enter the free agent market.
Love improved as the 2023 season went on, which will likely give him more leverage at the contract negotiating table. His representatives could push for a deal that is in line with what Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff recently signed. Goff recently agreed to terms on a four-year, $212 million extension after helping the Lions reach the NFC championship game last season.
But, Love was mum on the status of the contract talks. 'I don’t really know what’s going on, but we’ll see,' Love told reporters. 'But I’m not going to get into too much contract stuff.' Love was more interested in discussing how he could help the Packers build on what they accomplished last season. Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur credited Love’s presence for helping assure the Packers had just about everyone participating for this week’s voluntary workouts.
But he did throw two second-half interceptions in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round. 'It’s something that’s always with you,' Love said. 'But at the end of the day, that’s what you’ve got to do, is you’ve got to learn from it, be able to watch it, break it down, see what went wrong, learn from it and grow and move on.' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
