In a season full of surprises and rising stars, there is no better tale than jordan love’s rise.
The green bay packers lost their second game in a row for the 25-year-old was pretty average through the first eight weeks of the season. Love is hoping to cement himself as an undisputed star in the nfc championships now that he made a surprising nfl playoff debut against the dallas cowboys two months earlier.
This explosive growth leads to new contract talks, according to NFL network’s ian rapoport, hours before green bay takes on the san francisco 49ers in the NFC divisional round. “don’t be surprised if he gets a quarterback franchise-style contract extension,” he said. Jordan love of the packers is in a new tax bracket.
Love, who was controversially selected 26th overall in the 2020 nfl draft, signed a one-year, $22.5 million deal extension last season before moving to qb duties. despite losing multiple passing weapons at various times throughout the season, jordan love finished the regular season with 4,159 passing yards, 32 touchdowns (second in the nfl), and just 11 interceptions.
Dallas gained 272 yards and three touchdowns on a 76.2 completion rate last sunday.
It’s impossible to hope for a repeat success against the mighty 49ers, but in the end, the packers have found their hall of fame quarterback. Their most recent wages reflect that they paid them a fair wage.
