Here’s a report of the current contract situations going on with these four superstars who are still looking for an extension with their current squad. Ever since the Detroit Lions rewarded Jared Goff with a franchise record $212 million extension that makes him the second highest-paid quarterback in the game behind Joe Burrow, all eyes are on these teams to make their move to secure their quarterback for the future after Goff’s deal pretty much set the standard for the quarterback market across the league.
Who’s next to get paid? Here are the top candidates to get their big money extension by the end of the year, if not sooner.
The Report On What’s Going On With The Jordan Love Contract Situation
![Report: Which Quarterbacks Around The League Are Still Looking For That Record Breaking Extention Beyond 2024-25? 1 Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers](https://gridironheroics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/USATSI_22538546-820x1024.jpg)
Rather than exercise a fifth-year option on Jordan Love’s rookie deal ahead of 2023, The Green Bay Packers signed Love to a one-year, $13.5 million extension just last May. That contract is set to expire after 2024, meaning that Jordan Love is on track to hit free agency following this season. The 2020 first-round pick appeared to benefit from a period of sitting behind and watching Aaron Rodgers, as he and his young supporting cast continue to grow and get better not only every year but every game.
At just 25 years old, it’s hard not to envision him as the long-term face of the Green Bay Packers. His sample size of reliable play is still very small, only having 18 career starts, with a 9-9 record. It’s only really been since the second half of the 2023 season that he’s been considered a dynamic starter. A lucrative extension would be a gamble on what he can still become, more than a reward for what Love has already proven, and it’s hard to imagine the Packers allowing their next star quarterback to just slip away.
What’s Going On With Tua Tagovailoa And The Miami Dolphins? Isn’t This Who They Want Going Forward?
![Report: Which Quarterbacks Around The League Are Still Looking For That Record Breaking Extention Beyond 2024-25? 2 Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins](https://gridironheroics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/USATSI_23330455-1024x717.jpg)
Tua Tagovailoa will roughly be the NFL’s 15th highest-paid quarterback in 2024 thanks to his fifth-year option exercised by Miami last offseason, but his rookie deal expires following the end of the 2024-25 season. When Tagovailoa is healthy, he is one of the league’s most efficient and dynamic pocket passers in head coach Mike McDaniel’s system. Tagovailoa has repeatedly overcome injuries to grow in both confidence and accuracy and has flashed some MVP-level production in back-to-back seasons.
Tua Tagovailoa has also been a steady victor, posing six straight winning records as a starting quarterback dating all the way back to college. It’s a matter of if, not when, the Dolphins decide to lock him up. There’s a case to be made that Miami would be better served using 2024 as a final audition year for the quarterback, who will be going into year three with coach McDaniels. However, each day you go without striking a deal the price potentially gets higher, and higher. Tagovailoa has shown enough growth in a short amount of time that the Dolphins can trust he’ll be ready to give it all he’s got in the upcoming season, even if “bigger picture” questions still remain.
If This Quarterback Doesn’t Get An Extension We Could Potentially See Mac Jones Starting Again
![Report: Which Quarterbacks Around The League Are Still Looking For That Record Breaking Extention Beyond 2024-25? 3 Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars](https://gridironheroics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/USATSI_23116734-681x1024.jpg)
The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t need to extend Lawrence before 2024, and if there’s any front office willing to try the fan base’s patience here, it may as well be this one led by Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke. But again, sooner generally is better when it comes to quarterback negotiations. Even if the deal backfires, Trevor Lawrence will most likely be in Jacksonville one way or another.
The Biggest Quarterback Extension Question That Most Likely Will Be Answered At The End Of 2024
![Report: Which Quarterbacks Around The League Are Still Looking For That Record Breaking Extention Beyond 2024-25? 4 Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys](https://gridironheroics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/USATSI_23031921-1024x682.jpg)
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension ahead of 2021 free agency, but that deal soon will expire at the end of the 2024 season. Despite Prescott once assuring everyone a new long-term contract would be inked in the offseason, the two sides have failed to engage in meaningful negotiations, which means this nine-year vet is on track to hit the market in 2025. Dak Prescott has gone 2-5 in the playoffs, with just a single postseason win over the last five years. He’s also missed significant time due to the injury bug in two of his last four seasons with the Cowboys.
Honestly, Dak Prescott isn’t going anywhere right now, but his future beyond this season feels genuinely uncertain. It wouldn’t be crazy for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys to strike a last-minute deal with their quarterback in an effort to ease the pressure on 2024, but that would be contradictory to everything Jerry Jones has suggested regarding the approach for the season. Dak Prescott will probably end up playing out his current deal and then depending on how the 2024 season goes, we’ll see if he gets the extension or not, or if we’ll see Trey Lance starting for Dallas in future seasons.
