Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version:
“If the reports hold true, Jordan Love’s contract appears poised to be the next significant development in the quarterback lineup.”
As the Green Bay Packers move closer to extending quarterback Jordan Love’s contract, it’s crucial to stay updated on other quarterback negotiations across the NFL. Alongside Love, two other prominent quarterbacks entering contract years in 2024 are Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys and Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins.
Currently, the Cowboys, projected to spend less than the Packers in 2024, seem inclined to let Prescott play out the season despite his contractual clauses barring franchise tags and trades, a risky move. On the other hand, the Dolphins have engaged in contract discussions with Tagovailoa, but reports suggest they haven’t yet offered a deal at market value, notably below recent record-breaking contracts like Jared Goff’s $53 million annually and Trevor Lawrence’s tie with Joe Burrow at $55 million per season.
Concerns about timing vis-à-vis Love’s extension relative to Prescott’s and Tagovailoa’s seem less pressing now. The Packers appear closest to securing an extension with Love, aiming to finalize it before training camp starts in late July.
As ESPN’s Mina Kimes said on NFL Live on Tuesday: Pay the man. The cost of quarterbacks only goes up as more passers sign multi-year contracts. The Packers are poised to have the next extension on the books, if Darlington’s reporting on the Dolphins-Tagovailoa situation is correct. The team would have to fumble it out of the end zone at the goal line to mess this one up.

As Mina Kimes emphasized during her appearance on NFL Live recently, it’s crucial: compensate the quarterback. With every new multi-year deal signed by quarterbacks, the market value continues to rise. The Packers seem next in line for a significant extension, especially if Darlington’s insights into the Dolphins’ approach with Tagovailoa hold true. Barring any major mishaps, the Packers are in a prime position to secure this deal without fumbling at the goal line.
