Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history. The deal, negotiated by David Mulugheta and Andrew Kessler of Athletes First, includes a record $75 million signing bonus and $155 million in new full guarantees. Love, who has started only one full season and played 29 games, will average $55 million per year, matching the salaries of Bengals' Joe Burrow and Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence. This extension comes after Love's 32 touchdown passes in his first season with multiple starts, the fourth most all-time. The signing bonus will be paid fully by December.
