The Green Bay Packers and rookie quarterback Jordan Love reportedly agreed to a contract that no other player selected at No. 26 has received.
Love and the Packers agreed to a four-year, $ 12.38 million deal, according to the NFL Network. The money is fully guaranteed, making the state of Utah stand out as the first to receive a guaranteed settlement after being selected as the 25th or lower in the draft. It also includes a $ 6.6 million signing bonus.

The Packers seemed to be thinking about the future when they switched in the draft to select Love.
It was the fourth quarterback taken in the first round of the draft and probably the biggest surprise of the first round as Green Bay could still squeeze Aaron Rodgers a few more years.

Rodgers said in May that he was initially surprised by the move.
“I think the initial reaction [to the Packers selecting Love] It was a surprise, “he said, according to Packers.com.” I’m not going to say I was excited about the choice, but I get it. The organization is not just thinking about the present but the future, and I respect it. I understand their approach and their mentality. “
