Jordan Love is present for the start of Green Bay Packers training camp but will not practice until he has put pen to paper on a lucrative contract extension.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is at training camp but will not practice until he has signed a contract extension, general manager Brian Gutekunst said about an hour before the first practice.“I think so,” Gutekunst said. “Again, you never know. We’re working really hard to get that done. I think it’s really important for us. At the same time, the thing that I have confidence in is we both want the same thing.
That means Love has been in the meetings and he will be on the practice field. He just won’t be throwing the ball; that will be left up to Sean Clifford and rookie Michael Pratt. Lawrence changed the equation, though. Lawrence finished seventh in MVP voting in 2022 when he threw 25 touchdowns vs. eight interceptions and led the Jaguars to a stunning playoff victory. However, in 2023, Lawrence as a third-year starter backtracked. He threw 21 touchdowns vs. 14 interceptions, and his passer rating went from 95.2 to 88.5 as the Jaguars missed the playoffs.
Regardless, the contract will get done. The Packers might not like the final price tag but they will like the results if Love played like he did during the second half of last season.
