The plan is working out for the Green Bay Packers.

The franchise selected Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft to eventually succeed Aaron Rodgers. 

At the time, the move wasn't very popular.

But it's a model the Packers have had success with before. They drafted Rodgers in 2005 to eventually replace Brett Favre.

Love was thrown into the fire after the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets, and his first full season was a success.

Love has reportedly parlayed that into a historic extension. Love and the team reportedly agreed to a four-year extension worth $220 million.

The $55 million annual salary ties him with Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow for the highest ever, and the $220 million is the most given in a four-year deal, surpassing the reported deal Tua Tagovailoa agreed to with the Miami Dolphins earlier Friday.

Love also got a $75 million signing bonus and $155 million in guaranteed money.

He is now the eighth quarterback with an annual salary of $50 million, all of whom have been signed since last year. He joins Tagovailoa, Lawrence, Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, Jared Goff and Lamar Jackson.
