Imagine you are Aaron Jones.
You become an unrestricted free agent after this season. As Jones enters his fourth pro season, he has accumulated just $1.9 million — a bargain for a guy that broke the Packers record with 23 total touchdowns last year.
Now, if everything was normal, you'd just play this season out and then wait for a team to come calling with a huge payday.
However, we all know things haven't normal since the middle of March. Thanks to COVID-19, the salary cap will likely take a tumble next year and potentially the year after that.
