The Green Bay Packers have a special one in Jordan Love. Just one full year after trading away Aaron Rodgers, Love already has the Packers in Super Bowl conversations.
One of the biggest storylines of the off-season has been when, and how much, Jordan Love will get paid. Another storyline has been what will happen come training camp time if a deal isn’t done.
That question was squashed.
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love Is A Man Of His Word
According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated:
The Green Bay Packers’ quarterbacks, rookies and select veterans are scheduled to report to Lambeau Field for the start of training camp on Wednesday. Starting quarterback Jordan Love will be there, even without a contract extension, a source told Packers on SI.
The race is on for the Packers and Love to agree to an extension before training camp begins with the first full-squad practice on Monday. Whether Love would participate in a “real practice” without an extension isn’t known or hasn’t been decided.
Love, in the Milwaukee suburb of River Hills on Tuesday for a youth football camp, declined to answer a contract question. Instead, he chose to focus on the camp and his Hands of 10ve Foundation.
“In my hometown, Derek Carr and David Carr both had a camp that I went to as a kid,” Love told reporters. “That was something that impacted me at a young age. Those are two guys that I looked up to and were from my hometown. I think it was awesome. That’s something I definitely look forward to being able to do now that I’m in the same position as them. Hopefully, we can do one in Green Bay, too.”
Love hasn’t had an unexcused practice yet with the Packers. That won’t start this year. He is quickly turning into one of Wisconsin’s favorite athletes from the commitment he shows his team.
Love is expected to sign a contract that will make him one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL. Analysts have guessed ranges anywhere from $50-$60 million per season.
