The NFC North has joined its AFC counterpart by having the quarterback position locked up. The Packers finished things off when they extended Jordan Love to a new contract on Saturday afternoon.
The contract has a total value of $220 million for the next four years. Love joins Jared Goff who also saw an extension earlier this offseason for a value of $212 million. Those two, paired with Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears and J.J. McCarthy of the Minnesota Vikings have set the table for the position within the NFC North for the foreseeable future.
All quarterbacks are under contract for at least the next four years, meaning teams will know who they will face within that time period within the division.
For the Vikings, this has to be a clear directive to figure out the cornerback position sooner rather than later. Byron Murphy Jr. has proved to be a viable option, but the team’s depth and the lack of a lockdown player at the position leave them vulnerable.
