According to a report, Love will count “just over $20 million” on the Packers’ salary cap in 2024.

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love’s cap hit will be “just over $20 million.” Before his new extension that made him the highest-paid player in the history of football, Love carried a $12.7 million cap hit, meaning only around $8 million extra of the $220 million deal that Love signed up for is going to hit the Packers’ cap this year.

Per cap expert Ken Ingalls, the lowest Love’s cap hit could have...

The next time you see Love on the practice field, he’ll have his helmet on.

After missing four training camp practices with a holdout, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love and the team have reached a four-year extension, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The deal will pay him $220 million in new money, which brings his average per year to $55 million. That figure ties him with Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow and Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence as the highest-paid quarterbacks, or players in general, in NFL history.

As we’ve learned over the years, though, the true judgment of a contract is...

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini says it’s structure, not average salary, that is the hangup in Green Bay’s negotiation with their quarterback.

Following the Miami Dolphins’ four-year, $212.4 million extension with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported that at one point it “appeared” that the Green Bay Packers’ extension with quarterback Jordan Love was going to get done before Tagovailoa’s but that the hiccup is now over contract structure. This should come as no surprise to Acme Packing Company readers, as we’ve stated since the start of this holdout that the biggest hurdle that the Packers are going to...

Tagovailoa will receive $53 million per year from Miami and $167 million in guarantees.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have agreed on a four-year, $212.4 million contract that will give him $167.1 million in guarantees. Who knows if that means that the $167 million is fully guaranteed, though, or if it’s a practical guarantee, a guarantee that must be earned by Tua remaining on the roster.

If it is fully guaranteed, that means Tagovailoa received more at signing than any player since the Cleveland Browns handed Deshaun Watson $230 million back in...

Three players were activated off of the non-football injury and physically unable to perform lists on Friday.

Friday was the fourth and final practice of the Green Bay Packers’ training camp before they’re allowed to throw on their pads for practice. With everyone still in shirts and shorts, it’s hard to blow out of proportion how significant players’ performances are in these practices. However, it’s still worth noting who is getting work with first-team units and what the team’s injury situation is.

With all that in mind, let’s dive into what happened on the practice field today.

A division rival saw a key player get knocked out for the season with an injury this week, which helps explain why Jordan Love is not practicing without a new deal.

Jordan Love believes that he and the Green Bay Packers will work out a new contract soon. The Packers believe it. The fans believe it. So with all interested parties confident that the details will be finalized soon, the level of concern around him sitting out the first few practices of training camp is impressively low at this point.

But recent developments around the NFL have illustrated why Love...

The Packers were insanely good in goal-to-go situations in 2023. Will they come crashing back to earth?

One of the most impressive statistics put up by the 2023 Green Bay Packers concerns their goal-to-go offense, as you can see here in this post from Tyler Brickner.

Scoring a touchdown on 95% of your goal-to-go opportunities is frankly amazing! The median scored around 71% or 72% of the time, and the second-best teams topped out at 83%. And I’m not even sure the percentage really does the Packers justice, because the underlying numbers on this statistic had the Packers scoring touchdowns...

The Packers’ two biggest offseason acquisitions highlight this portion of our countdown.

Our roster rankings have explored young, up-and-coming groups of players, fringe starters, and some borderline core players. Today, we start to dive into the real heart of the roster with the first half of the top 10.

Defense has dominated the early portions of training camp, but this chunk of our top 25 countdown will feature mostly offensive players, including Josh Jacobs, the Green Bay Packers’ most notable offensive free agent signing in a long, long time.

But he’s not the only notable free agent: Xavier McKinney also...

While a deal isn’t done yet, the two sides remain in conversations, despite Jordan Love’s holdout.

According to The Athletic’s NFL insider Dianna Russini, the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love are “making progress” on an extension, but the deal is “not done at this time.” Love is going on Day 4 of his hold-in with Green Bay, as he’s sat out of the first three practices of training camp. Love apparently will not put on a yellow helmet until a deal is done, which I wouldn’t blame him for — considering that at least a quarter billion dollars are...

Clark’s three-year, $64 million extension really functions as a one-year extension with two team options.

Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark recently signed a three-year, $64 million extension that will keep him under contract with the team through the 2027 season. Over the Cap has learned the details of his contract, including what the former Pro Bowl nose tackle’s cap hits will be moving forward.

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the deal, including how this will impact the Packers moving forward and

A bad day for one tackle on Tuesday led to the team giving a young player a shot with the starting line on Wednesday.

The Green Bay Packers take a break from practice on Thursday, but Wednesday was an interesting session in terms of which players were and were not lined up with the starting units. In particular, the offensive line came into focus after an abysmal performance by a player on the top line on Tuesday, and that led the team to make a change in the lineup.

The Packers signed free agent offensive tackle Andre Dillard this offseason...

Green Bay’s 2022 first-round pick was named one of the three best off-ball linebackers under 25 years old.

Much debate has been made around the first two seasons of performances from Green Bay Packers former first-round pick Quay Walker. While no one considers him a bust, as he’s made 30 starts over his first two seasons, it’s also difficult to call him a “hit” just yet, either — especially considering his ill-timed personal foul penalties.

Ultimately, he’s still a recently-turned 24-year-old who is starting at one of the least talented positions in the NFL and is holding his own, rather...
