Rich Eisen on Whether Jordan Love Should Sit Out Packers' Practices Until He Gets a New Contract 

The same agent as Aaron?! The packers can’t escape this guy😂

It’s wild to think he’s about to be the highest paid player or among them for a half season of good play in 4 years.

I just want the Dolphins to let Tua walk, and for him to sign with Seattle. Not because I think he'd be a great fit, but because then we can call him Hawk Tua.

So you play literally just one half of a season great and now you deserve to be the top paid quarterback? The media and rich are seriously bonkers.

If you're under contract, honor it.,.simple as that

Yesterday's price isn't today's price....

Out of all the changes to the NFL over the past 20years this bugs me the most. Paying people these max contracts when they have not even had the time to prove they are worth it. What business pays in advance for a employee that that might never be a CEO, but gives them that much. Let me be clear I am not just talking about the Packers and Love.

So lucky to be a packer fan. We got another one?! Go Pack Go!!!

Doesn't surprise me one bit that this would be what Rich thinks. That's EXACTLY the trash Rodgers pulled, and everyone got annoyed with his BS. Love is impressive, but I don't believe he's got this kind of bargaining power yet. As a Packers fan myself, he still needs to prove he can play a FULL season at the level he finished things out with last year.

Rich missed his calling as a player agent for overpaid QBs.

Funny how I never saw Aaron Rodgers holding out for a contract.

35-40 million is what he is worth... No reason to break the bank for basically a half of a season...

How about $200 million for 4yrs, with $180 guaranteed? Or what about $265 million for 5yrs, with $200 guaranteed? That seems acceptable for a semi-unproven product. Yes, he had a great second half of a season, but there is too small of a sample size to pay him more than Goff.

Rich and the media lying again about AR. He never once refused to play or practice for a new contract.

Players should not have anywhere near this much power it's going to end up killing this sport

I just dont get how 1 season gets you top of market when Lamar, Jalen, Mahomes, Allen all have actual multiple seasons of high level of pay to justify eating up that much cap for years

packers should see how he does with a full "good" season. Seeing if this one half year wasnt just a spoof.

IN LOVE WE TRUST💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛

As a Bears fan, he should sit out.

1 year's worth of football and a 9-8 record. He lost to the Giants and Tommy Cutlets late in the year. And he beat a horrible Dallas team that had just become the ONLY team with a winning record that Miami beat all year. Like I keep saying, who's going to be the next Cleveland with Watson or Denver with Wilson? Wasting all that guaranteed money for what?

As much as I HATE the Peckers, I have to say WTF? Love needs to lay it out & say WTF? " Am I your franchise QB or just the guy you hope can hold down the fort til uou get the right guy in here" What is management thinking? Sign him, cuz someone else will.

This will be a done deal by Friday. Just working out the details. Relax.

So a player that has played 1 year sits out because he doesn't get a contract extension? He signed a contract to play [x] years for the Packers. He should then play [x] years for the Packers. So tired of NFL players acting like the contract they signed is always 1 year shorter than what they agreed to. Take a note from Dak, believe in yourself enough to earn it.

Remember when Nick Foles had one of the greatest one half of a season runs? The guy was breaking and tying records... Then what happened? Yeah, signing Love off this small amount of good play is dumb.

The GM has done just enough to make the playoffs…that’s it. They had many opportunities to sign FA with Rodgers but declined. Their run defense was horrible!!! He never solved that. Run the ball and stop the run…that’s how you win in the playoffs.

Meh. First, different agencies represent Love and Rodgers (used to be but not now). Second, players tend to listen to their "representatives". Love never said (in person) that he would sit out. Those were his "representatives" words. And yes, every contract million $ is worth another $30K for the "agency". Not much in the scope of things. What do you think is going on???

Im telling my boss too that I will hold in this week until I get a new contract and I wont show up for work because I could get injured on my way to the toilet...

Players shouldn’t be able to “not play” to get another contract! You get another contract when your current contract expires!!

Jordan love has done absolutely nothing. nothing! to warrant sitting out for money. nothing! Hes played 7 good games, and only 2 fantastic.

Jordan Love has yet to do anything that Baker Mayfield hasn’t also done.

It would be hilarious if dude signed a massive extension, then got hurt immediately at the first practice and was out for the year, take all this precaution and stuff it, it’s not like that specific situation has happened, imagine guarding against a situation that’s never occurred

These QBs think they have their teams by the b__s whe they sit out and demand $$$$$$$$, And the teams oblige, and pay out and sign them. Then they get injured and sit out most of the season on IR. Crazy.

This 100% the Packers fault, this was guarenteed to happen for the length of time they chose to sit him. Teams make the most progress with starters on rookie contracts like the Texans and Stroud, the Packers wasted that opportunity so pay up...

Crazy that a whole fan base called Caleb Williams a diva and now look who the diva is 😂

He struggled when he had basically nothing but rookies that were playing their first NFL games.....can we not act like he came out with true WR1 and WR2 and a star studded RB. Jones was also hurt a lot of games. Defense underperformed too. Yes small sample size but he showed he can def improve and learn from mistakes.

Time to bring back Tom Grossi for expert Packers analysis!

Didn’t we see this 2 years ago with Daniel Jones. Give him 50 a year, and pray.

He’s a Diva just like Rodgers. He knows he doesn’t deserve a top tier QB contact but will milk the cheese right out of FGB.

Watching everyone and their mother in the NFL media landscape trying to make this into a high drama contentious stand off is absolutely hilarious. This is almost a non-issue. Love is in the building, he's doing everything but taking reps on the field. This is just protecting from injury until the deal gets finalized. All is good in green bay.

New contract? He played great for one half of a season. You signed your deal, play. The money will come. SMH.

fix the high pitched noise

Love to see it. Go Lions!

Give him the money dammit! We want a Superbowl in 2025!

If Love gets $50-60 and Tua tops him what does Mahomes get? 100M per year?

He'll be the highest paid guy based on half a season not a whole year.

Eisen is finally talking about a real sports story! He gave up on Bronny? No wonder his show is on the Roku Channel.

lol Herbert crushed your poll

Love only had a little more than a handful of good games, and now he's being crowned a franchise QB?

If you don't sign your QB you're starting over. Would you cry if you had to start over after losing Tua? Only if you don't have a backup plan.

Cowboys fans know all the no-name offensive weapons for the Packers because they all shredded their team at home in Dallas.

Blame the Lions!

Man, people are insane. Jordan deserves 60 mil a year plus. Saying oh he only had half of a good season. No. He played GREAT the first 3 games. Then dealt with injuries to the line, wr's, & Jones. Receivers were never in the right spot. Lafluer was calling plays with tons of hesitancy. They're not paying Jordan off of last year. They're paying him based off of the past 4+ years! They see the type of person he is. The type of leader he is. How hard he works. Sure, some QB's have had stretches of good-great play, but there's only like 3 other QB's in NFL HISTORY who've put up the numbers 10VE did in his first full season. There's a reason why you guys can't even win your fantasy league, let alone can manage an NFL team.

I say the Packers should see if he blinks. The guy has had one year as a starter and hasn't truly proven anything, simply because of such a small sample size. It makes no sense to pay anyone serious money this early in their career unless they literally won the Superbowl MVP in their rookie season. If you give in with Love then every rookie has any half-decent debut is going to try the same thing and that isn't a viable situation. Yes, he is missing valuable practice time that could hurt his development but remember that also hurts him. He can't earn the real money if he ends up a one season wonder. It is in his best interest to develop as a player because that's how he'll truly become a star who can earn serious money. So he can either give in and continue with the development that he needs to succeed or he can hold out and possibly destroy his career long term. Odds are he's aware of that and won't hold out long.

Maybe not a big contract but bigger than a rookie contract, reason must be used along with common sense. Yes they need someone to run the offense but he’s not a big name player.

The packers has never had to pay an african american quarterback. Thats the hold up in my oppion

Crazy times we're in that a qb has good few games now thinks he deserves huge pay day

In what universe is Love worth $55-60 mil per year??? 1 playoff win in 1 season I'll admit is better than most but come on now, for once I'm with Brockman.

Put in Gorge Plimpton

There is no doubt Jordan Love played great for half the season last year. Maybe more than half the season. But he played well in one playoff game, and poorly in another. Green Bay fans don't like drama. It's why many turned on Rodgers, and many turned on Favre toward the end. They appreciate greatness, but don't like drama. If Jordan Love holds out to get a HUGE contract, based on half a season and one play-off game, he puts tremendous pressure on himself. Green Bay messed up by having such a short evaluation period, but now they are going to have to pay him. If he's a 50 million a year QB, playing for the Green Bay Packers, he had better be a HOF talent. The fans have expected such since 1992. It hurts to say as a Bears fan, but the Packers MIGHT have found another gem. But it's equally as likely no one had film on him, and now they do. Defenses can hone in on his weaknesses. He might be a one season phenom like Rich Gannon. It's a really risky move for both the team and Love.

The Packers are lame. They've had TWO HOF QB's for nearly 3 decades and only have two rings to show for it. Meanwhile, Mahomes already has 3 rings in 5 years.

Gutes be talking to Hear Himself Speak. He'll lose his Job when he messes this up. Because it's Not going to be done before Week 1

QUESTION: Who are your Top Ten NFL teams you want to keep an eye on this season? I don't think it is as obvious as many of y'all think

I agree the packers have to pay him big money, but I don't agree that he's earned it. As late as week 14 last year, he looked like maybe the worst qb in football. He had some absolutely atrocious throws in that giants game. This contract could go down as the worst in team history.

These qb are getting away with murder cashing those checks lol

No hate from me , but he’s only played one season so he’s already up for a big contract ?

Jordan love wins one playoff game and now he thinks he’s Aaron Rodgers? Do you really think you don’t need to work on your timing with your receivers before the season starts at practice where people aren’t even allowed to hit the quarterback. You know they wear that different color jersey that tells you not to hit them. What’s the matter? Is Jordan love going to break a nail. he should hit up Caleb Williams and ask him for advice on nail polish.

Not trying to hate on J Love, I think he's great, but it's crazy how you play well for half a season and instantly think you deserve top dollar. I know that's how the NFL works nowadays, but it's just crazy. That being said, I hope he continues to play well

Gutekunst dug a hole when he drafted Love and now he's asking for a bigger shovel. That's just malpractice. He made a mistake in drafting Love without also trading Rodgers. Niner's offered three firsts a short time later, IIRC. Imagine having Love on a rookie contract and an outrageous amount of draft capital? But instead, Gutekunst wasted Love's cheap years and now will be as financially hamstrung as he was with Rodgers.

Do they have to baby these ROOKIES they get hurt and cry what happens then

Super Bowl hype begins

Jordan Love is still under contract he is not fulfilling. Where is the story in that?

Daniel Jones did the same thing… look how that ended

He was great for half the season, and he’s acting like this when he just signed the contact last year? Yikes

It is not up to sports yakkers. Love and the team have an agreement. OK done with this topic.

Jordan Love is making a huge mistake.

Love is way overrated. Had a good half a year now he want big money.. Should never happen if he is under contract then stop paying him if he doesn't practice.. What is a contract good for if the player doesn't abide by it.. If it was him being benched or cut hes getting exactly what is in the contract.. Because he knows if he is cut or benched what he will receive and agreed to it.. What a joke the NFL is along with the players that cry i want more or I'm not playing 😢

Couldn't have happened to a better team.... Signed Aaron Jones.

In Gute we trust

The hero becoming the villain in packer land..lol

1 good year. Needs a new contract? LoL

I believe it’s a mistake man of the system

If he deserves a new contract then EVERY player in the league needs a new contract. Why is he different? He just became a starter and he’s holding up these players these days are just weak 🤦🏾‍♂️

Getting ready for the WNBA all star game???? Rich, really? I don’t know anyone at all getting ready for any all star game. Please don’t lose your credibility. Cowherd already has, please don’t lose yours. You are now on a short leash.

Detroit is going to crush them regardless of what ever Love does or doesn’t do. He will turn into a cry baby just like every other GB quarterback. No chance in hell they win a SB😂😂

Let him sit home then. Let's get Clifford out there.

Who will have the better career Love or Stroud?

Jaguars screwed the Packers. Lawrence ain’t deserve that contract.

Love is not on that level after 1 season.

Love NEEDS to be paid. Get that 300m paycheck to him

Sensationalist claptrap. He’s just not doing on field reps

Overraction Jordan sitting out 😂 i swear. Remember when Mahomes contract looked ridiculous??? Dont look so dumb now 😂🤣😂 Not saying Love is Mahomes but in terma of contract and money, better to deal now then later. Prices is only gonna go up ↗️

If the Packers were sold on J. Love being the next Favre/Rodgers, they would have offered him 60M a year already. After 30 years of franchise quarterback play the Packers know what a HOF quarterback looks like and Love isn't it. They might offer him Baker Mayfield type money, but nothing near the top qb's in the league.

Jets

Hot take jordan love is gonna suck this year he ran a pop warner offense last year

Blame the lions ✅✅

What an awful draft pick this was in 2020. Arguably lost the team a ring and put them in this awkward contract position.

we paid him last year without seeing anything...I think him doing this comes off as entitled for a guy who before Halloween was heading bust not elite...

He hasn’t done anything, try getting to the playoffs.

time to overpay him and hope he can do more with less. Sure, he made it to the playoffs and beat an overhyped cowgirls team. He also was on the same team that lost to the falcons, giants....with their backup QB...would have lost to the saints if they didn't injure carr....and made the panthers look like superbowl contenders lol. On top of ending the packers playoff hopes with the ultimate QB no-no decision. I certainly wouldn't pay top dollar for that.

Pay the man 1st!
