Packers restructure Billy Turner’s deal, convert salary to a signing bonus

The financial gymnastics continue at 1265 Lombardi Avenue.

A day after news broke that the Packers restructured the contracts for both Adrian Amos and Preston Smith, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports the team has also re-done the deal of offensive lineman Billy Turner. That makes three of the four big free agent signings of 2019 to get a redone deal and the biggest addition, linebacker Za’Darius Smith, very well could be next in line judging by a tweet he sent earlier in the week.

Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirmed Pelissero’s report and said the restructure on Turner’s deal was all about salary conversion, changing his $5.
