Very True, Just think GB hit on 3 Franchise QB in a row while teams like the Bears are on QB 23 or something like that! Crazy

Yep this time last year people were pushing that Clifford would replace Love by mid-season.

Perspective from Andrew Brandt:
@AndrewBrandt: Seeing reports of Jordan Love deal.
Sensed the sticking point was Packers wanting longer extension, 5 or 6 years. Love able to get a 4-yr extension after his agents did same for Tua. Love will be negotiating again - when the market is over $60M per year - before age 30.
Win.
Will wait to see year-by-year cash flow, but hearing $75M signing bonus. Wow.
Packers have the cash flow, using it.
And seeing $155 million in full guarantees, will see if true.
But what that means to me is this:
Three years, $155 million.
Two nonguaranteed years after that.
Love has that record extension average of $55 million, same as Lawrence and Burrow, but his deal is better than those, due to length.
Lawrence and Burrow are under contract seven more years; Love is under contract for only five.
With the QB market only going north, big win there.
The strongest deal for a QB is still Watson.
The shrewdest deal for a QB is still Prescott.
But Love is right below those.
Yes, Love doesn't have a long history of playing well.
But contracts are not about the past, about the future.
And, just as we knew when Aaron waited for 3 years, the Packers knew what they had, and what they now have.
He's their guy. For at least three years and $155 million.
The $55M a year was never the issue. Length was.

The Packers didn’t have much of a choice given what the market is for paying QBs.
If he plays close to what he did in the second half of last season it’ll be fine. He just can’t go Daniel Jones. A guy that played very well for a short stretch and got paid and now the Giants are hosed.
