Jordan Love is tired of waiting to get a contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, which is why he’s making a big decision ahead of the 2024 NFL season, putting more pressure on the front office.

On Monday, general manager Brian Gutekunst announced at a press conference that Love has decided not to practice at training camp until a new deal gets done. However, the Packers GM doesn’t look worried as he believes they will reach an agreement soon.

I think it was Saturday night they kind of informed us that until we get something done that he would not practice,” Gutekunst said. “Again, until something gets done before practice starts here pretty soon, he will not be practicing. But again, I think this is something we’re all working on.”

Love may have been promoted to starter last year, but he’s been in Green Bay since 2020. This is the fifth and final season of a one-year extension to his four-year rookie contract, which is why the quarterback expects an extension soon.
