In my opinion they will need to improve the talent level at the position somehow to feature a decent defense though. The Packers could offer Love a long term deal as soon as he shows some promise as a starter. If he does, both the fifth year option or the franchise tag would guarantee they have enough time to sign him to an extension but I wouldn't expect him to play under either of them. So the tag costing significantly more doesn't make a difference in my opinion. The team not picking up his fifth year option makes sure they don't owe him more than $20 million if he doesn't develop into a decent starter though.I believe the Giants made a huge mistake signing Jones to a deal like that but picking up his fifth year option last year wouldn't have made any difference in him asking for that kind of money.As mentioned above, if Love proves to be a decent starter I don't expect him to play on the fifth year option in 2024 anyway.</blockquote>
