The Green Bay Packers made an important move on Friday, reworking the contract of running back Aaron Jones that both reduces his 2023 cap hit and keeps him in a Packers uniform for at least another year.
According to published reports, the deal reduces Jones’ 2023 base salary to $11 million. He also gets a signing bonus of $8.52 million. That reduces Jones’ cap hit by approximately $11.8 million. Jones will get approximately $5 million less money in 2023 but he will get more guaranteed money this season than he would have prior to reworking the contract.
The deal benefits both sides.
