Why Jordan Love's extension eases pressure on Packers' new starting QB

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Coach Matt LaFleur noticed it from the moment Jordan Love walked back into Green Bay Packers headquarters last month for the start of offseason workouts.

The quarterback returned for his NFL season No. 4 knowing that as soon as the Aaron Rodgers-to-the-New York Jets trade was finalized, he would officially move to the top of the depth chart.

His coach could tell his new quarterback came back with a new swagger.

“I think he definitely understands that he's the guy in charge,” LaFleur said recently.
