The Green Bay Packer identified their future quarterback and must now pay to keep him.

Their confidence in Jordan Love led to a contract extension before he even became the starting quarterback.

Now, after a strong season, Love’s camp is aiming to maximize his value.

This is why he won’t attend training camp until his contract is sorted.

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Love and his agents have told GM Brian Gutekunst that he won’t practice until a deal is finalized.

Love is expected to command a substantial contract.

However, the situation highlights a growing trend in the NFL where players refuse to participate until they secure favorable terms, despite already earning millions.

While Love has shown potential and deserves a substantial extension, he has only been a starter for one year.

Player empowerment has its benefits, allowing athletes to have a say in their careers and secure their value, especially given the physical risks they take.

Still, this scenario seems to be getting out of hand.
