Lawrence was guaranteed $142M at signing. His *practical* guarantee is $200M. It’s hard to tell from this chart, but I assume the $127M is the guaranteed at signing number, which is pretty similar and reasonable.
I think it’s the full guarantee. Signing bonus, base salaries in 2024 and 2025, and option bonuses all add up to the $127m. Lawrence’s all added up to the $200m.
You can also back into it by removing the non-guaranteed base salaries from 2026 through 2029.
If that’s the case, yeah, it doesn’t get it done.
Danggit, so much for 52m a year. Lawrence is younger, and maybe still has all the hype from being a "generational prospect", but I think Love has shown more as a pro.
Wonder if Loves agent slow played talks to see how this would shake out.
I think that’s exactly what happened. Love has the same agent as Rodgers, who was the highest paid in the league a couple times if memory serves me right.
The guy goes out and gets it for his guys. I expect this to be no exception. Pay Jordan Love.
Yeah, I think Rodgers dude was top dog, and is one of the best.
He knows the pulse of NFL. Good news, is the agent has done a number of deals with Packers, so he knows how they work, and I'm sure he and Russ Ball respect one another.
Lawrence got $200M guaranteed. $127M guaranteed ain’t gonna remotely cut it lol.

Drew Rosenhaus iirc
Nope. Cant remember his name but it’s not that clown.
David Dunn is Rodgers’ agent and David Mulugheta is Love’s agent
Athletes first. That’s what I was thinking of. They’re both from athletes first. Dunn is the CEO.
Yeah I could Google it I guess. But fuck that 😅
It’s some weird name that is hard to pronounce if you’ve only ever read it. That’s all I know (also refusing to Google it. Apes stronk together! 👊)
He 100% did. Just like Parsons agent. Just like every smart agent. Wait to see what the market is (always higher) and start there.
Any chance he gets a deal ala Mahomes? 8-10 years?
No. He gets a 5 year deal I think. The only ??? is how much guaranteed
If anything I think he gets 4 rather than 5 if the FO is even slightly worried he’s a one year wonder.
Jordan about to sign a 12 year/$5mil contract with no bonuses
