When the Green Bay Packers drafted Jordan Love, his trajectory promised to follow the one his predecessors had — since 1992, the Packers have had some of the most incredible luck at the quarterback position in NFL history. Brett Favre started at the position for 16 seasons before Aaron Rodgers took the helm and held the position for 15 years.
Rodgers spent three years as Favre’s understudy, and after being drafted 26th overall in 2020, Love spent three years as Rodgers’ backup. Love was handed the keys to the offense in 2023 when the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets. What Love did after that justified the Packers’ faith in their 2021 pick.
What Are Jordan Love’s Contract Numbers?
Love’s first year as a starter was solid. In 2023, he completed 372 of 579 passes for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He led the Packers to a 9-8 record and a playoff appearance where they embarrassed the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card Round. In the Divisional Round, they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, but Love proved he belongs.
According to PFSN’s Quarterback Impact rankings, Love was the NFL’s ninth-best quarterback in 2023 with a QB Impact Score of 80.2. Under Love’s direction, the Packers were the 8th-best offense in the NFL in PFSN’s Offensive Impact metric.
In July 2024, Love signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension with $160 million guaranteed. The contract included a $75 million signing bonus with the Packers and an average annual salary of $55 million.
What is Jordan Love’s Net Worth?
Forbes lists Love’s net worth at $83 million. His signing bonus was a league record when he signed. He’s currently the 19th-highest-paid athlete in the world and the third-highest-paid in the NFL.
At 26, he’s already collected $79 million in salary and another $4 million from endorsements. He’s worked with American Family Insurance, Nike, Old Spice, Sony, Electronic Arts, Experian, Toyota, Keurig, Dr. Pepper, and more.

Since signing the contract, Love has become one of the faces of the Packers, who, with the acquisition of defensive end Micah Parsons, are considered one of the favorites to reach this year’s Super Bowl.
After dipping a bit in 2024, when Love was PFSN’s 16th-ranked quarterback, he’s jumped back up to the top 10 and is currently ranked 7th by PFSN’s QB Impact metric.
Love will have another chance to take down the Cowboys in Dallas Sunday, when the two historic franchises kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on NBC for Sunday Night Football. While Love’s performance will certainly be a big storyline, the prevailing narrative will likely be Parsons’ return to his old team’s home.
