TheGreatZepp Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Let’s roll! I don’t think there’s much of a difference between $52 mil and $58 so landing right in the middle is just the cost for a seat at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they could front load a contract even more if they wanted. Numbers are rounded for simplicity's sake. Jordan Love - 4 years, $220M, $75M signing bonus, $155M GTD 2024: $10.5M base salary, $16.8M signing bonus, $0.5M workout bonus = $27.8M cap hit 2025: $31.5M base salary (GTD), $16.8M signing bonus, $0.5M workout bonus = $48.8M cap hit 2026: $34.2M base salary (GTD), $16.8M signing bonus, $0.5M workout bonus = $51.4M cap hit 2027: $37.1M base salary (partially GTD), $16.8M signing bonus, $0.5M workout bonus = $54.3M cap hit 2028: $40.2M base salary, $15M signing bonus, $0.5M workout bonus = $55.7M cap hit Yea, those numbers look reasonable. For context, here’s where those cap hits rank currently among QB’s: 2024: #10 2025: #6 2026: #10 2027: #6 2028: #3 and that’s w/o seeing Tua’s numbers yet. He might be below Tua, & get leapfrogged by Dak, Purdy, and/or other young QB’s. Not a bad ranking with respect to his production, though obviously not as big of a bargain as a Stroud-type hit.

incognito_man Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 This has been obvious for a while. I'm old enough to remember people telling me he'd be traded for a 4th when I was saying he'd easily be making over $40mil/yr on his next contract. Even I underestimated him. That's really great news for the Green Bay Packers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have a shot thru the duration of the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really great news for the Green Bay Packers Just thinking the same thing. All the trade talk after Rodgers signed his big contract. Figured Packers wouldn't trade him for less than a 2nd at that time. Other team forums yah maybe a 4th if we were lucky. Got no takers. What's the 220 million dollar man worth now? 3 1sts and a couple of high end players? We'll never trade him but his value is off the charts right now.

He was a guy with very limited mop-up time and middling preseason games. Nobody was giving up anything for that, and we weren't going to take a low ball offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit Pack Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Love had $10.5m in base salary for 2024 and around $6m in signing bonus remaining $220 for the next 4 years In essence 5 years $236.5 $47.3m AAV I can live with the AAV the GTD at $155m is a bit steep though, that's like 66% of the contract, that will mean at a minimum he'll always acoount for 12% of cap. Doesn't seem like there are easy outs if his trajectory doesn't keep on going up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish these teams would start playing more hardball with these QBs. And then do what? There's 2/3's of the league at a minimum that would give their left nut to have Love as their QB AND signed for the next 4-5 years. Agree the $$ amounts have escalated big time but it's what the market demands. Hardball is a tough game to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
