Here are the Year/Cap Hit/Dead Cap
2024/$20.7M/$107.8M
2025/$29.7M/$87.5M
2026/$36.1M/$58.9M
2027/$42.4M/$31.7M
2028/$74.2M/$15M
2029 (VOID)/$34.7M
2030 (VOID)/$14.2M
2031 (VOID)/$6.3M
Couple things to note:
- If Jordan Love is bad, the Packers can't do anything about it for three years. 2027 is the very earliest they could cut/trade him without it ruining their cap
- If Jordan Love is good, the Packers will give him another extension prior to 2028.
- Here's where Jordan Love's cap hit ranks each of the next four years: 13th, 17th, 15th, and 10th. And keep in mind, guys who will likely get new contracts during this time period include Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, CJ Stroud, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Seeing a $42M cap hit in 2028 seems like a lot, but in the world of NFL QBs it's really manageable.
- In 2027 when we expect his cap hit is biggest (before an extension) that $42M cap hit represents an estimated 13.6% of the cap.
- Jordan Love will be 30 before the start of the 2028 season.
TLDR, Jordan Love is the Packers QB for 3-4 years.
