Jordan Love contract extension: The Green Bay Packers are on the most unprecedented QB run in NFL history
CBSN
What were you doing in 1992?
The Green Bay Packers just bet -- and it's a good bet -- they will have the longest stretch of security at the most important position in NFL history. By giving Jordan Love a four-year, $220 million extension to be their quarterback of the future, the Packers guaranteed three-and-a-half decades of stability at the most difficult position to secure in professional sports.
It's wild for a publicly owned franchise. It's even wilder when you consider how we got here. The Packers traded for Brett Favre after the Atlanta Falcons fell out of favor with their second-round pick, started him in 1992 and never looked back. Until Favre got old and they ticked him off by drafting Aaron Rodgers. Favre would end up with the Jets, Rodgers would start and it was clear he was the guy.
Yada, yada, yada, they ticked off Rodgers by trading up for Love, Rodgers would end up with the Jets and Love would start ... and it was clear he was the guy.
