The Green Bay Packers created quite a stir in the NFL community when they announced that they had signed quarterback Jordan Love contract extension rather than exercising the available 5th year option. Many pundits and fans alike were initially puzzled by the move, given that Love had yet to start a regular-season game. However, a closer look at the situation reveals that the one-year extension is a clear win-win scenario for both Love and the Packers.
For the Packers, the one-year extension is an extremely smart move as it gives them more time to evaluate Love’s abilities and determine whether he has the potential to take over the starting quarterback role from Aaron Rodgers.
