Re-signing AJ Dillon doesn't alter Packers plans at RB in draft
The Green Bay Packers are reportedly re-signing running back AJ Dillon. However, this news doesn’t change how the Packers should approach the running back position in the draft.
Dillon signed a four-year qualifying contract. In short, this is a one-year deal that Dillon is eligible for because he spent each of the last four seasons in Green Bay.
This is an extremely low risk move by the Packers. Dillon’s contract can be worth up to $1.45 million more than the league minimum for a fourth-year player, which is $1.125 million, totaling a potential $2.57 million for Dillon. However, salary cap-wise, Dillon will only account for $1.125 million against the cap.
