BREAKING: Falcons Set to Sign Jordan Love from the Green Bay Packers to a Four-Year Contract in 2025
The NFL world buzzed with excitement late Friday night as ESPN broke the news: The Atlanta Falcons were set to sign quarterback Jordan Love to a four-year deal, reportedly worth $120 million. After a rollercoaster season with the Green Bay Packers in 2024, Love’s move to Atlanta signaled a bold new chapter for both the player and the Falcons organization.
Jordan Love, once viewed as the heir to Aaron Rodgers, finally had his chance to shine in Green Bay over the past two seasons. Though he showed flashes of brilliance, inconsistency and a lackluster supporting cast kept the Packers from postseason success. As Green Bay began a rebuild, Love’s future in Wisconsin became increasingly uncertain.
The Atlanta Falcons, on the other hand, had been seeking stability at quarterback since Matt Ryan’s departure years earlier. Despite a promising season from their young core, they fell short of playoff contention in 2024. General Manager Terry Fontenot and Head Coach Arthur Smith knew they needed a proven leader to take their offense to the next level.
According to insiders, the Falcons were drawn to Love’s poise under pressure, his ability to extend plays, and his strong arm. With star wideout Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts in their prime, Atlanta saw Love as the missing piece in their championship aspirations.
“This is a huge win for us,” Fontenot said in a press conference shortly after the news broke. “Jordan Love has shown he’s capable of greatness, and we believe Atlanta is the place where he’ll take the next step in his career.”
Love, for his part, expressed excitement about the move. “I’m grateful for everything Green Bay has done for me, but I’m ready for a fresh start,” he told reporters. “The Falcons have an incredible fanbase, and I can’t wait to get to work with my new teammates.”
The deal also comes with high expectations. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Love can elevate the Falcons to Super Bowl contenders. While some questioned the hefty price tag, others saw it as a necessary gamble in the hyper-competitive NFC.
As Love prepares to don the Falcons’ black and red jersey in 2025, one thing is certain: Atlanta is all-in on their new quarterback, and the city is ready to rise up with him.
