Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love announces life-changing decision ahead of new contract for 2024 season

On Sunday afternoon, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love announced that he made a life-changing decision during the offseason. Love entered the NFL’s dead period with a lot of potential before the 2024 season begins in September.

The Green Bay Packers have to pay Jordan Love soon

Love is looking to extend his contract with the Packers before September. As previously discussed on GH, going into the offseason, Love was expected to make nearly $50 million per year on his next deal. Love didn’t want to talk much about his contract during OTAs this spring, but he wouldn’t rule out sitting out this season if he doesn’t sign a contract extension:

Love was bombarded with questions about his contract situation during his media appearance at the Packers OTAs on Tuesday. Love said he didn’t want to talk much about his contract. When a reporter asked him if he would play for the Packers in the fall if a new contract extension wasn’t signed, Love wouldn’t commit to playing in the upcoming season.

“We’ll see. I don’t know yet. We’ll see,” Love said.

Love’s participation in voluntary OTAs this month is a good sign that he will play this season, but that could change if his agent sees little progress from the Packers’ front office before the start of mandatory OTAs or training camp.

Love has a nearly $38 million difference at stake if he doesn’t sign a new contract extension. That’s a lot of money to risk on a violent sport that left many of his fellow quarterbacks with serious injuries last season.

Trevor Lawrence’s recent contract extension changes the discussion around Love. Lawrence is set to make $55 million per year. Love could demand a similar salary after nearly leading the Packers to the NFC Championship game in January.

Love is expected to sign a contract after Sunday, but it is unclear when he will do so.

Love has taken care of a personal matter

Love and the Packers are expected to be in the running for a Super Bowl appearance next February. The next few months are crucial for the Packers and Love. Although pressure from the NFL is mounting on Love, the quarterback is taking time during the league’s off-season (between OTAs and training camp) to take care of personal matters.

He announced via Love’s Instagram account that he is now engaged to Ronika Stone.

“First step to eternity,” wrote Love.

First reaction of Packers fans to the engagement

Packers and NFL fans are excited for Love as he checks off another important task on his offseason checklist. Here are the best shots of fans congratulating Love.
