Love’s new contract will take effect in 2025, extending through 2028. For the 2024 season, he will earn a base salary of $10.5 million, according to Spotrac.
Having started just 18 regular-season games in his career, Love took over as the starter for the Packers in 2023, succeeding Aaron Rodgers. His performance in the latter half of the season was pivotal in securing his future with the team, as the Packers’ front office had emphasized the need for him to demonstrate his capabilities to remain part of their long-term plans.
Before the extension, Love was present in training camp but refrained from practicing, with his representatives stressing the importance of finalizing the contract before he resumed playing, as noted by general manager Brian Gutekunst. Love, a 25-year-old Utah State product, was selected 26th overall by the Packers in the 2020 draft.
