The Facts: The Green Bay Packers didn't pick up Love's fifth-year option. Instead, the sides agreed to a new contract extension with the quarterback keeping him under contract through 2024.
Diehards Line:
NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that the one-year extension includes $13.5 million guaranteed and can be worth up to $22.5 million, per sources informed of the deal. The fifth-year option for Love, the No. 26 overall pick, would have been $20.272 million fully guaranteed. The extension guarantees Love less over the next two seasons but comes with additional upside for the quarterback.In three seasons in Green Bay, Love has started just one contest and appeared in 10 games. He's thrown 83 passes, completing 50 for 606 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
