The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Jordan Love to a contract extension, General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced on Saturday.

Love has participated in 27 regular-season games with 18 starts and two postseason contests (both starts) for the Packers. He was originally selected by Green Bay in the first round (No. 26 overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft from Utah State. In 2023, he became just the third quarterback in NFL history to record over 4,000 passing yards (4,159) and more than 32 passing touchdowns (32) in his first season with multiple starts, joining Kurt Warner (1999) and Patrick Mahomes (2018). Love was also the first QB to lead the Packers to the postseason in his first full year as a starter since at least 1950 when the league began recording starts for every player.

Last season, Love was one of four quarterbacks—alongside Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, and Baker Mayfield—to rank in the top ten in passing touchdowns (No. 2), passing yards (No. 7), and touchdown-to-interception ratio (No. 7, at 2.91). His 32 passing touchdowns were the fourth most by a QB in his first season with multiple starts, trailing only Mahomes' 50 in 2018, Warner's 41 in 1999, and Daunte Culpepper's 33 in 2000. Love threw for multiple touchdown passes without interceptions in a league-high nine games during the 2023 season—a record tied with Purdy for the most by a QB within their first eighteen career starts.

In the final eight games of the regular season last year, Love completed 196 of his 279 passes (70.3%) for a total of 2,150 yards and scored eighteen touchdowns with only one interception—resulting in a passer rating of 112.7. This achievement made him one of only two Green Bay QBs alongside Aaron Rodgers to post such statistics over an eight-game span within a single season.

During last season’s playoffs, Love started both contests completing thirty-seven out of fifty-five passes (67.3%) for a total of four hundred sixty-six yards and five touchdowns against two interceptions—yielding a passer rating of one hundred eight point six—the fourth-best rating recorded by any team member during a single postseason (minimum thirty attempts). In his NFL playoff debut, he achieved an impressive passer rating of one hundred fifty-seven point two after connecting on sixteen out of twenty-one passes (76.2%) for two hundred seventy-two yards and three touchdowns without any interceptions; this performance tied him with Texans QB C.J Stroud for achieving such high ratings during their respective playoff debuts while marking it as second best by an NFL QB playing away from home behind Terry Bradshaw’s perfect rating at Baltimore on December nineteenth nineteen seventy-six.
