Jordan Love Holds Out for New Contract

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is sitting out training camp practices until he secures a new contract extension, although he remains present at the team's facility and participates in meetings. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst expressed optimism about reaching a deal soon, emphasizing that negotiations are close but acknowledging that these large contracts take time. Love, entering the final year of his current contract, had a standout season last year, throwing for over 4,000 yards and leading the team to the playoffs. The Packers are also considering bringing in additional quarterbacks for training camp as a precaution. Despite the holdout, both sides are reportedly eager to finalize the extension, which is expected to be substantial given Love's recent performance and market trends.
