Jordan Love is the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history. Let's say it again: Jordan Love is the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history.
You may see fans of the other NFC North teams mocking the Green Bay Packers for handing out so much money after only one season to go by. In reality, they are scared. They've seen this movie play out before.
In the world of the Packers, it's nothing but positivity. The team has struck a deal with its next franchise quarterback, and Love will return to practice just in time for the team's first padded practice. Perfection.
The best reaction of the night comes from AJ Dillon.
AJ Dillon had the best reaction to Jordan Love's massive extension with Packers
How can you not love Dillon? He fully embraced Wisconsin from the moment the Packers drafted him, even taking a team-friendly deal to return in free agency. Just as importantly, he is a great teammate.
Dillon had the perfect reaction after the Love extension broke the internet.
He's not wrong. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Love will receive a record-breaking $75 million signing bonus, which will be paid by December.
Dillon has looked great at training camp and could have the best season of his career alongside Josh Jacobs and rookie MarShawn Lloyd. A deep and talented backfield will make life easier for Love, and that's good news for the Packers' offense.
Dillon wasn't the only Packer to send love to their quarterback. Three-time Pro Bowler Kenny Clark reacted to the news on X (formerly Twitter).
Clark might not enjoy it so much when Love returns to the practice field. The Packers' defense has dominated the opening week of training camp, but trying to slow down the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history is a more daunting challenge.
The deal finally got done. Packers fans can R-E-L-A-X, and Love gets to celebrate by returning to the practice field on Saturday.
