Jordan Love has made a mere 18 career regular-season starts, but the star quarterback cashed in on last season’s impressive run by agreeing to a four-year, $220 million contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, according to multiple media reports on Friday.

Love, who started every game in 2023 after starting just once in his first two seasons in Green Bay, is now tied for being the highest-paid quarterback in league history in terms of average annual value. He moves alongside the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, with all three averaging $55 million per season.

The Packers QB also will receive an NFL-record $75 million signing bonus, and $155 million of his extension money is guaranteed.

Love has been in camp with the team, but he had not been practicing. His representatives indicated last weekend that they wanted his contract extension to be completed before he took the field, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.

The 25-year-old Utah State product, whom the Packers drafted 26th overall in 2020, came on strong in the second half of last season, after the front office made clear that he needed to show he could produce if he wanted to remain in the team’s plans.

In the final eight games of the regular season, Love responded by throwing for 16 touchdowns with just one interception.

Green Bay went 6-2 down the stretch, including winning its final three games, to grab the NFC’s final wild-card berth. The Packers went into Dallas and overpowered the Cowboys 48-32 to open the playoffs, with Love throwing for 272 yards and three scores, before losing to the host San Francisco 49ers 24-21 in the divisional round.

Love finished the regular season with 4,159 yards passing, 32 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions.
