The Green Bay Packers have signed QB Jordan Love to a contract extension. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Saturday.

Love has appeared in 27 regular-season games with 18 starts and two postseason contests (both starts) for the Packers after originally being selected by Green Bay in the first round (No. 26 overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Utah State. In 2023, he became just the third quarterback in NFL history to post 4,000-plus passing yards (4,159) and 32-plus passing TDs (32) in his first season with multiple starts, joining Kurt Warner (1999) and Patrick Mahomes (2018). Love was the first QB to help lead the Packers to the postseason in his first full year as a starter (2023) since at least 1950, when the league began recording starts for every player. Last season, he was one of four QBs (Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, Baker Mayfield) to rank in the top 10 in the league in passing TDs (No. 2), passing yards (No. 7) and TD/INT ratio (No. 7, 2.91). The 32 passing TDs were the fourth most by a QB in his first season with multiple starts, trailing only Mahomes (50 in 2018), Warner (41 in 1999) and Daunte Culpepper (33 in 2000). Love threw for multiple TD passes with no INTs in a league-high nine games in 2023, tied for No. 1 in NFL history (Purdy) for the most by a QB in his first 18 career starts.

Over the final eight games of the 2023 regular season, Love completed 196 of 279 passes (70.3 pct.) for 2,150 yards and 18 TDs with one INT for a 112.7 rating, joining Rodgers (Nov. 14, 2021-Jan. 9, 2022) as the only Green Bay QBs to post 2,150-plus passing yards, 18-plus passing TDs, one/zero interceptions and a completion percentage of 70-plus over an eight-game span in a single season. Love started both playoff contests last season, completing 37 of 55 passes (67.3 pct.) for 466 yards and five TDs with two INTs for a 108.6 rating, the fourth-best rating in team history in a single postseason (min. 30 att.). He posted a 157.2 passer rating in his NFL playoff debut, connecting on 16 of 21 passes (76.2 pct.) for 272 yards and three TDs with no INTs. His passer rating tied the fourth-best mark (min. 15 att.) in NFL postseason history and tied Texans QB C.J. Stroud for the top mark by a QB in his NFL playoff debut. The 157.2 rating was the second best by an NFL QB in a road playoff game behind only Terry Bradshaw's perfect 158.3 rating at Baltimore on Dec. 19, 1976.
