Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love will not practice until he signs a contract extension.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Monday that Love’s agents informed the team of the decision Saturday night. Gutekunst added that he believes the two sides are close to a deal.

Love is entering the final year of his current contract, which he signed last summer.

The 25-year-old emerged as a star player in his first year as the Packers’ starter, throwing for 4,159 yards and scoring 32 touchdowns as he led the Packers to the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.
