There are players in the 2023 NFL season who were expected to break out but were just flat.
There are also those who came in without much expectation but delivered more than what was expected from them.
The Green Bay Packers can relate to the latter, with one of their players being a revelation this season.
Expect Jordan Love's net worth in 2024 to balloon with how he plays lately. With Aaron Rodgers out of the picture, he stepped in and gave the Lambeau Field something to look forward to as the Packers crawl back to contention.
His contract with the Packers is one of the most efficient and most valuable in the league.
"Love just might be the guy for the Packers," ESPN's Aaron Schatz wrote.
"But, they didn't know if he was before the season. So instead of letting Love play out his fifth-year option, the Packers extended his contract through 2024. They got an additional season to figure out what Love could be, plus a break on guaranteed money while Love received a signing bonus up front. The contract has worked out for the Packers, as Love is playing strong football and just might lead the Packers to the playoffs."
The Packers got themselves a new franchise player. Love should get all the love contract-wise once his current deal is done.
Jordan Love Net Worth 2024: $12.5 Million
Love came to the league in 2020 as a 26th overall pick by the Packers. His college career with the Utah State Aggies did not receive much coverage. He passed for 8,600 yards, throwing 60 touchdowns against 29 interceptions.
He did not play in his senior year and made himself available for the 2020 draft.
He signed a rookie four-year, fully guaranteed contract worth over $12.3 million, an unprecedented contract for a 26th overall pick. Also under the contract is a signing bonus of over $6.5 million.
His salary in his rookie year was just around $600,000 and then grew by $1.1 million and $1.7 million in the next two years.
Love played just ten games in his first three seasons, zero in his rookie year, but that did not stop the Packers from giving him a more lucrative deal.
The two parties agreed to a $22.5 million one-year extension, including a $13.5 million signing bonus.
In his first year, Jordan Love did not see much playing time, but his online presence grew.
Aside from his NLF salary, Love also earned through endorsements. Among the brands he signed up with are BOSE, Madden NFL, Nike, Old Spice, Herbalife, Lowes and Verizon.
Jordan Love Wealth
There is little information regarding how Love spends his money, although one can surmise that he came from small beginnings.
His father, who died when he was just 14 years old, was a police officer, while his mother worked as a California Highway Patrol officer.
He was able to go to college at Utah State as a scholar.
With his increasing play and media visibility, Love will see his life get more coverage soon.
