While Love reported for training camp with the rest of the team this week, he staged a hold-in -- not practicing until the contract was done. He did attend practice and participated in everything the team did off the field, including meetings and film sessions.The earliest possible date they could have signed him was May 3 -- one year after his previous extension. NFL rules say an extension cannot be extended within the first 12 months.
Love threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in the 2023 regular season. He was one of four quarterbacks last season to rank in the top 10 in passing touchdowns (second behindnor Brett Favre did in their first seasons as the starter in Green Bay: make the playoffs. He started all 17 games and, after a 2-5 start, the Packers finished 9-8 to make the playoffs.
"To go through the tough stretch in October and to see him so steady through all that, and just really lead our team to get better week in and week out, and to see the rewards at the end of the season, I was very excited for him and our football team," Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said shortly after the season."For as good as he played, there's so much more in front of him and just excited for him and where he's going.
"He had a hell of a year," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said shortly after the season."Let's not look past that. He really did. Just to see the growth ... Obviously, the results speak for themselves, but the growth of him as just the commander out there, he's an extension of us, and I thought the ownership that he showed, the leadership that he showed, was a great sign for us.
