And for Jordan Love's next act...
Listen now
Description
He’ll become a rich man very soon. Jordan Love played his way into the upper tier of quarterback contracts late last season. Still, this was a small sample size. And opposing defensive coordinators are bound to offer a counterpunch. The same bet these Green Bay Packers placed on Love the night of April 23, 2020 applies in June 2024. This is a player worth the investment. On this episode of the “Go Long Show” — with co-host, longtime NFL personnel man Jim Monos — we shift the quarterback conversation to Love. GM Brian Gutekunst wants a deal done before training camp, but Love probably doesn’t mind the sight of other quarterbacks raising the market price. In related news, Tua Tagovailoa sounds like a man who wants a deal done ASAP. As discussed in Part I of the mailbag, these two negotiations may be linked on Athletes First’s side. We know the Miami Dolphins will lean into their identity. Finally, we wrap the pod with thoughts on a special breed in this sport: NFL offensive line coaches. You can catch audio and video of this episode above and everywhere you pod including Apple, Spotify and YouTube. (Feel free to rate, review and share!)
