While some, like Gagnon, believe Green Bay should take a wait-and-see approach with Love, the front office appears to disagree.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported in February that the Packers intend to at least consider extending Love on a “fair-market” deal at some point over the summer.
“The Packers are expected to be willing to discuss a new, fair-market deal for Love that pays him like a true starter,” they reported. “QB deals often happen in June or before the start of training camp, and that timeline makes sense. Still just 25 years old, Love is now in line for the first big-time payday of his career.”
What “fair market” means is a matter of debate, though any answer is likely to approach $50 million annually. Four quarterbacks already earn at least that much in annual average value on their current contracts, according to Over The Cap, and more signal-callers in — or approaching — their primes will join that group as they come up for new deals and the NFL salary cap continues to rise.
Spotrac projects Love’s market value at $44.8 million annually over a new four-year contract, which computes to almost $180 million total. And that estimate may well end up proving low.
