The Green Bay Packers pulled the trigger. On Saturday, Jordan Love signed a massive four-year extension with Green Bay. The contract made him the highest paid player in NFL history ($220 million).
The contract slowly became the number one story in Green Bay over the last few months, but certainly heated up in the last week or so.
Today, Jordan Love spoke to the media for the first time after the deal. His first statement stood out.

Love opened his press conference with this statement:
“I’m excited to have an opportunity to go out and earn this every day and prove the people who believe in me right,” Love said Saturday after participating in his first training camp workout of the year.
“I’m ready to get to work, prepare ourselves for the season ahead and chase the ultimate goal that we have of winning the Super Bowl.”
“There’s just a lot of unknown that goes into it, not knowing if the opportunity would come, not even knowing if it would come here, with Aaron when he was playing so well, back-to-back MVPs, him signing another contract,” Love said. “So it was a lot of question marks for me that went into it. But I just stick to trying to control what I can control.”
