This is great news! Things looking up!

Any praise for the FO from the crepe hanging crowd? An hour or two ago, they were idiots, give credit when credits due!

Daniel Jones got paid pretty well without much production. Glad to see JL10 and his agent were very reasonable. Now go out there and earn that big pay day because we're all cheering for you!

I'm not sure what this deal accomplishes for Jordan Love or the Packers, but I hope it's a win-win.

I'm more excited about Love with the Packers than I would be with any of the quarterbacks taken in the draft this past week, and most of the quarterbacks taken in recent years.
Of all the young QBs in the NFL (younger than Mahomes, Allen, Jackson), it seems only Burrow, Lawrence and Hurts are showing strong signs of stardom.
All of the others are more or less question marks, including Love.
***
I hope Gute and LaFleur are excited about Love, and the Packers players, too.
They must have some sense of Love's potential as a QB.
If Love doesn't appear to have the potential to be a star quarterback in the NFL, then the Packers should have already moved on from him.
As long as it seems there is a potential is for stardom, then back Love with enthusiasm.
Give him every encouragement, every advantage to succeed.

As fans, we know less about Love, and may have various opinions about him based on the fragments of evidence available to us; but in any case, let's get behind this guy to the extent that our support can help him to get to the top as an NFL quarterback, and attract him to continue to do so as a Packer for years to come.

I need The Great Reynoldo! Help explain to me what this means salary cap- wise?

Glad they appear to have given Love a 2 year window to prove himself (if I am understanding this correctly).

Really smart move by the Packers!

It will be interesting to see how the cap work is set up, but this was a really smart move.

Sorry, completely off topic here...

Vegas released ROY odds, and LVN has the sixth best odds to win DROY. Just interesting relative to the commentary around the pick being a 'reach' or that he's a developmental prospect that won't have a huge impact in his first year, etc.

Also interesting that Myles Murphy and Nolan Smith don't crack the top 10 for DROY.

Just seems like interesting numbers given that vegas is putting it's money behind these odds, whereas a draft review article can just be speculative to generate interest/clicks.

As I suspected, the sensible option for both sides and our cap recovery too.

We all know Love isn’t going anywhere if he’s good and that that may take time to clearly determine. We also know that the team needs an out if he’s not but that he’d want a guarantee while we had no option but a bigger one if no deal was signed. Love likely gets some money earlier and I anticipate that the cap cost is spread a little more evenly allowing for that.

What this does is give Jordan the confidence that the team wants him around. One less thing to think about heading into the season for him. What the Packers have is a quarterback schooled in MLF's system with Tom Clements as qb coach. His Darkness credited Clements with making him a better qb.

By the end of this year there will be a clear idea what they have. What gives me some hint of excitement with this move is we will get to see MLF's offense in the way it was designed, not how His Darkness wanted it to be.

It is unlikely Love will ever be Rodgers or Favre but if he can be Don Majkowski it would be acceptable. He has enough weapons now to move the ball.

I'm sure there will still be some who view this as a poor move but I think it's smart as hell. Nice job Gute!

Have this gut feeling,[and mine is good sized] Love will be a lot better than be expect! Not saying MVP caliber but way above average for these guys to have so much faith in his future!

The FO deserves credit for this sensible and ideal solution.

Excellent move by Gute and the FO. This is essentially a one year prove it deal for Love. Gives the Packers plenty of flexibility for giving Love a longer term contract after 2023 or for chucking him if he flops. Plus it saves some cap space for 2023. Give credit where/when credit is due. Thanks, Since '61

Have to give the Gute credit..He wasn't just fumbling with his words the other day...he didn't want to jump the count...He knew what was coming & wanted to control the flow of info better for both the player & team.

I'll tip a mug (later today) to JLo's next Packer contract...My bet: it'll be a bit more, quite a bit.

Let's be honest. Love was guaranteed a 4th year salary and if the Pack exercised a fifth year that would probably bring the guarantee to the 30 million range. (4th year plus 5th year). Now the Pack pays 6.5 million per year for Love.

No matter how you look at it. This is not a ringing endorsement for Love. It is a totally one sided deal to benefit the packers.

After all the bullshit lies spewing out of Gutekunst's mouth, this only confirms that Gute is a lying sack of shit. Rodgers didnt say it but Gute never called Rodgers this spring. Rodgers knows what Gutekunst is. The whole team knows what Gutekunst is. As for Murphy remember this. "You are who you hire."

Green Bay is burning because Nero Murphy and his son Caligula Gutekunst are running the asylum. For you idiots out there spouting what a good deal this is... no one wants to play for lying sacks of shit like Murphy and Gutekunst.

Furthermore, no one wants to be drafted by Gutekunst. Witness this last draft. Witness Gute's last 4 drafts and especially his third round success rate. Draft and develop is simply a way of saying 'oops another year of number ones not being ready to play in yhe NFL".

Finally Bahktiari comes off the books. So why do the Packers need money now? Rodgers is off the books after this year. Well at least we know that Love paid for this draft.

So far Gute has drafted one bonifide all pro. That being Jaire. GUTEKUNST IS A WORTHLESS PILE OF SHIT.

Jaire is gone as long as this club keeps Bruce Barry. Bruce Barry was a working man. In two years the Packers will have more money than God to attract free agents. Unfortunately no one will accept an offer from this front office.

I'm so happy, you guys are happy.
Play that Happy Boy song.

Love is gambling on himself. Or, maybe his agent suggested this move. As a PR move, it seems that Love is giving the team some cap space when they need it. But, his agent (and Love) have to be aware of the contract signed by the Giants Daniel Jones: four years, $160 million. Yes, he's played more games, but has been inconsistent, at a minimum. So, if Love has a solid season next year, what will he be asking for? And if the Packers refuse, what is Plan B? This is not a guarantee, but definitely a possibility. It seems that once again, the Packers have put themselves in a position where the QB has more power than he should. We'll see. Because this all depends on how well Love performs. And even if he got a contract in the range of Jones, it would still be significantly less than Rodgers got in his final years.

Good move for both sides! If Love turns out to be the guy he will get his payday in two years! $13.5 guaranteed is not chump change!

GO Pack Go!

Nicely played by the Packers and a good deal for Love too. As burdensome as that Aaron Rodgers contract was, they managed to worm their way out of that situation without too much damage. Just a huge cap hit this year, but it's a retooling year anyway. I think they got lucky, because what if the Jets weren't interested in acquiring Rodgers and what if Rodgers wanted to play another year in Green Bay? But the end result is what matters, and this is not bad.

I expected this to happen after they were able to trade AR before the draft (if they hadn't and were waiting for June 1st, they may have just exercised the 5th year option). I think this is a great deal for both. As we have seen recently, even very contentious relationships between a star QB (AR, Lamar Jackson) can be smoothed over with the right amount of money. If Love looks like a top 10 QB by the end of 2023/into 2024 then the Packers will pay the money necessary to keep him off the market. This gives Love the time to show what he can do and the Packers can wade out part of the cap hell (through 2024) until they need to make a bigger commitment to Love or look for a new QB. I have the feeling Love will be showing he's ready and he's another excellent GB QB.

Imagine the exploding heads of the Vikings, Bears and Lions fans if the Packers have another excellent QB (not saying Love will be HOF quality, but top 10 is way better than the other north teams have been able to consistently do).

The agreement with Jordan Love is an A+ for the Packers. And I think it is a B for Jordan Love.

Kudos to everyone in the front office, and at least to the guys who made these decisions and got this deal negotiated. That probably means Russ Ball plus Gute and/or Murphy. They've played their cards well lately.

Jordan Love just showed he's a team player by not demanding them to pay the 20 million or cut him,thats what Rodgers would do and has! The entire time Rodgers was here it was all about being paid as the highest in the NFL now Love shows he is willing to let the FO have some wiggle room on the cap to surround him with players to help the TEAM!

I think it was a negotiation by Jordan Love’s rep and the Packers. Love didn’t show anything. And he didn’t let the Packers have “wiggle” room. Maybe Love will donate his salary so we can pay Kenny and Rashan and Dillon etc? I doubt that Love took a discount on himself. This is a business not a charity event.

I hope that Love will be successful - but doubt if he will be as successful as AR was in his first season although GB had a losing record. I like what Love did by taking the 2 year deal - and hopefully we will get somewhat out of AR's cap purgatory in 2024 - and then will be able to add some better FA's next year. Now Love's success will depend upon whether on NOT Lafleur is the genius that everybody was saying he was when AR won back to back MVP' Scheme and a consistent D and Special teams will keep GB in most games without crazy QB heroics. Going to be fun - I hope

While I think the FO is shaky, this move makes sense all the way around. It's going to take a couple years to be able to assess if Love is the long term solution at QB. The team saves some money and gets a chance to make that determination. If he proves himself, Love will get his big payday. It's refreshing that both sides could work this out without all the drama that we've endured over the past 3 years. Part of being a great leader is gaining respect. And with the way Love has approached this, he's off to a good start.
