Now, the question that surrounds Love doesn’t revolve around whether or not he is capable of being “the guy” in Green Bay — it’s more about his current contract. Instead of picking up his fifth-year option last spring, the Packers signed Love to an extension that has him under team control through the 2024 season. He’s set to make $11 million in total cash this year, which is well below the going rate for starting-caliber quarterbacks. Love was stellar down the stretch last year. In his final eight games of the regular season, he completed 70.2% of his passes while averaging 268.8 passing yards per game. He also had 18 passing touchdowns with just one interception. Given that production and his current contract situation, it’s logical to assume that Love’s representatives will be meeting with Packers brass over the course of the summer to hammer out a long-term deal to bring the quarterback’s salary to a more palatable number
