The gist of it being that Ball almost never guarantess money beyond the first year, but he has a precedent of making exceptions for exceptional players - Bakhtiari and Rodgers, and I think Alexander. Rashad Gary might have been another; don't recall for sure, and too lazy to look it up.It usually works out, but the dead money has hurt us a few times with Rodgers and Bak. However, in the case of Love, I think it's clearly an instance in which we need to bite the bullet and make the exception. The team is downplaying it now, but every day he sits out, it hurts this team. Those young receivers need time with him to show which ones ara the most ready to take that big next step, he and his line need to get into a rhythm, and frankly, he needs time to perfect his trade as well. With this young a team, one with so much potential and such high expectations, every day is important. This needs to get done.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/07/contract-structure-holding-up-packers-jordan-love-negotiations[/URL]</blockquote>
