If you’re not aware…Jordan is entering the last year of his deal with the Packers…and Gutey is facing a big decision here. Does he pay Love off of one good season as a starter? Or does he let him play this year out and risk Jordan playing his way into a much bigger contract, a franchise tag situation, or even hitting the open market?
I’ve seen articles out there preaching caution from Gutey. Even Kurt Benkert said on this show yesterday that the Packers need to be careful not to get into a “Daniel Jones situation” by paying him too early. But if I’m Gutey…I’m doing everything I can to get a deal done this offseason.
First of all…Jordan showed me everything I needed to see down the stretch. If you forgot…take a look at this…
Over the 2nd half of the season, Love was the NFL’s leading passer, threw 18 touchdowns to just 1 interception…leading the Packers to a playoff spot and that 1st round beatdown of the Cowboys. He got better and better as the year went on…with the youngest supporting cast in the entire NFL. I truly believe he’s only going to get better as he and his receivers continue to develop.
So if you can lock him in right now at a value – which you should be able to given that he’s only been a starter for one year – why wouldn’t you? Make him an offer like the one the Giants gave Daniel Jones that would slot him in at about the 12th highest paid QB. Would Jordan really pass on $40 mil a year in order to bet on himself? Make him say no and go from there.
This unique situation presents an incredible opportunity for the Packers…don’t get cold feet Gutey. Show some faith in your QB and I have a feeling it is going to pay off big time in the long run.
