With Trevor Lawrence’s new contract set, Dak Prescott, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jordan Love now have another standard to consider in their own contract negotiations.
Despite his limited experience, Love could benefit from Jacksonville’s significant investment in Lawrence.
The Jaguars agreed to a five-year, $275 million extension for Lawrence, matching Joe Burrow’s top deal from last year.
Lawrence’s deal, despite his uneven performance so far, sets a promising precedent for ascending quarterbacks like Love. After a year as the Packers’ starter, Love is poised for his own lucrative long-term deal, aiming to secure an agreement before training camp starts.
Despite concerns about his inexperience and mixed 2023 season, Love’s potential and improvement towards the end of last season have bolstered his bargaining position.
Lawrence’s hefty guarantees and upfront compensation could serve as a template for upcoming quarterback contracts this summer, potentially including Love’s negotiations with the Packers.
