Jordan Love Holds Out of Packers Training Camp

Jordan Love, the Green Bay Packers' quarterback, has opted not to practice during training camp until a contract extension is finalized. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst expressed optimism that a deal could be reached within days, noting that discussions have been positive. Love, who had a strong first season as a starter, participated in team meetings but will not engage in any practice drills until the contract situation is resolved. The negotiation, described as a 'hold-in' rather than a hold-out, is expected to result in a substantial deal that could place Love among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. Gutekunst confirmed the Packers' commitment to Love as their long-term franchise quarterback, emphasizing the importance of securing stability for both the player and the team. The contract is projected to be valued between $55 and $60 million annually, which would exceed current top quarterback salaries.
