The Packers shocked the entire world last week with their victory over the Dallas Cowboys. And with that win, the Jordan Love-led team is one step closer to the divisional finals. QB Love is also a step closer to getting a big payday with the win.
As the blockbuster move of Aaron Rodgers was finalized last summer, hopes for the Packers to do well this season dwindled. However, the young QB has taken up the mantle. And he is not far away from earning a cool million dollars in incentive pay.

With A-Rod leaving, Love was finally out of the shadow. And the 25-year-old signed a contract extension that summer itself. This extension was for 4 years with a base salary of $12.83 million. The contract also has numerous bonuses for the QB. But one incentive pay must be glittering in Love’s eyes.
Here are the escalators—maxing out at $9 million—on Packers QB Jordan Love’s 1-year extension. These are for 2023 only, and anything he earns below will be added to his base salary for 2024.

That incentive is if the Packers win the NFC Championship, Love would be awarded with a million dollars. However, this incentive is tied to a target, that the Packers haven’t been able to get easily.

The last time the Packers won the NFC Championship was in 2011 against the Chicago Bears. Since then, the Packers have made it through on four different occasions, but have failed to capture the title. And this year, the road to the championship has a great hurdle as well.
The rocky road for the Packers
This week in the divisional playoffs, the Packers will visit the Levi’s Stadium to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Since the 49ers were the top seed from the NFC, they have had a bye week and are ready to begin their playoff campaign.
