Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has a four-year contract for $220 million, or $55 million annually without any added bonuses. He can afford nice things and to get his teammates great gifts. His cheap gesture certainly backfired as he’s getting crushed for what he did get them.

Love, 27, is worrying about getting back on the field for the Packers on Saturday at Lambeau Field vs. the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a concussion last week vs. the Chicago Bears. He may be getting a headache though off the field from the backlash of his holiday gesture.

We’ve seen QBs like Brock Purdy gift his offensive lineman Rolex watches this holiday season.

While Love did get all his teammates gifts, he bought them all Nike Dunk sneakers for Christmas for a price around $5K total.

Love is a Nike athlete, so maybe he even got hooked up with them for free…

Regardless, he’s getting crushed on social media for it with comments like below.

And comparing him to what Bears’ star Caleb Williams got his guys.

His teammate and star running back Josh Jacobs, for example, spent over $100K on his offensive line with these iced-out chains last Christmas.

The Packers will only go as far as Love will carry them, but he certainly went too cheap on winning his teammates’ love and respect this holiday season.
