This offseason, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones signed a new restructured contract with the team that’s worth $5 million less than his previous contract. But he doesn’t sound all that worried about taking a $5 million pay cut.
Aaron Jones was slated to make $16 million this season, which would have made him by far the highest-paid running back in the league, ahead of even Christian McCaffrey who makes $12 million. Jones understood that when he and the team decided to restructure his pay to $11 million, which is still the most he’s ever made in his career.
