Well, 2022 means we will have three seasons of rookie contract left. Maximize the last two season of Rodgers career (hopefully to two SB wins) and then roll smoothly into maximizing Love's remaining rookie contract. Sounds smart to me.
I anticipate we will use the same strategy with Love as we did with Rodgers. We signed him long term early into his first seasons as starter, it was panned as risky but resulted in us having Aaron Rodgers for an exceptional bargain for 4 seasons, including our SB win.
It would be smart to do the same thing, but to an even longer contract. Sign Love to a huge 10 year contract extension early into his first season as a starter, or if your really sold on him, before then. Risky? Sure, but if it works out, you have your long term baller QB on what will be a phenomenal value years down the road.
Mahomes current extension is going to be the deal of a century 5 seasons from now, let's get our own guy and kick it up a notch.
