The day before game one the Packers restructured Yosh Nijman's contract to gain $2.546M in additional cap space, per Field Yates. Nijman had been scheduled to earn $4.304M in 2023 as his base salary per his RFA tender. Instead of reducing his salary to his $1.08M minimum, for reasons unknown the Packers reduced his base to $1.125M, converting the balance of $3.179M to a signing bonus and adding four void years. His new 2023 cap number is $1.761M with $2.54M dead in 2024. If the Packers end up rolling the cap savings over (that is, not spending it in 2023), then the move is cap neutral.
