In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the NFL and jubilation through Wisconsin, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has officially put an end to all free-agency exit rumors. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania and confirmation from the Packers’ front office, Love signed a blockbuster 7-year, $300 million contract extension just minutes ago—cementing his status as one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in NFL history.
The deal comes as a major sigh of relief for Packers fans, who have watched with growing uncertainty over the past few weeks as speculation mounted regarding Love’s future with the franchise. That speculation ended swiftly and emphatically today as Love put pen to paper, committing his prime years to the franchise that drafted him in 2020.
The contract includes $200 million in guaranteed money, a no-trade clause, and performance incentives that could push the total value even higher. With this extension, Love joins the elite tier of NFL quarterbacks not only in terms of talent but in financial compensation—standing shoulder to shoulder with names like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen.
The 26-year-old has silenced all doubters since taking over the starting role in 2023 following Aaron Rodgers’ departure. In the 2024 season, Love threw for over 4,300 yards, 38 touchdowns, and led the Packers to a deep playoff run, proving he is the true successor in Green Bay’s long legacy of elite quarterbacks.
Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst addressed the media shortly after the announcement, saying, “This is a proud day for the organization. Jordan has grown into a leader on and off the field, and this commitment shows our belief in him as the future of the Green Bay Packers”
The locker room is reportedly electric, and fans have already flooded Lambeau Field’s gates in celebration. From Titletown to across the country, Packers faithful are united in excitement and hope, knowing that the team’s future is in the capable hands of Jordan Love.
With this extension, the Packers not only secure their franchise quarterback for the long haul but also send a clear message to the rest of the league: Green Bay is here to compete—and to win.
