AJ Dillon Returns On 4-Year Qualifying Contract

Per Ian Rapoport, the Packers will re-sign AJ Dillon using a rare Four-Year Qualifying Contract. Players who have been on a team for four consecutive and continuous years are eligible. That mostly means drafted guys who stuck around for all four years and players who completed a four-year second contract. Right now, only AJ Dillon and Josiah Deguara would be eligible. A team can sign up to two players per season to such a contract. The device allows a team to pay a player more money than the team has to count against its salary cap limit. In that way it is similar to the better-known Veterans Qualifying Contract.
