Jordan Love is officially the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL on an average annual basis. (Well, he’s tied with Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence.) As he embarks on a new full-fledged era with the Green Bay Packers, it’s abundantly clear he wants to make his own mark.
That includes his choice of houses in Green Bay.
You see, after Love’s predecessor, Aaron Rodgers, heard about his contract, he shouted out the young quarterback before jokingly suggesting Love look into his house in the Wisconsin town. It was a nice little reference to the now-New York Jets signal-caller completely moving on from his life with the Packers:

In response, during his own NFL Network appearance on Sunday, Love politely declined Rodgers’ offer, even though he assured him he’d check in to make sure everything was OK:

Man, there’s nothing like the Packers quarterback fraternity, is there?
