The Green Bay Packers restructured the contract of safety Darnell Savage and created a little under $5.5 million in cap space in 2023, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
Savage, a first-round pick in 2019, was set to enter the 2023 season on the fifth-year option worth $7.9 million. The restructure drops his cap hit to roughly $2.4 million.
Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers reduced Savage’s base salary to $1,080,000 in 2023 by converting base salary into signing bonus and added four void years to the deal.
