The Green Bay Packers have restructured the contract of running back Aaron Jones, clearing $3.08 million worth of cap space, per ESPN's Field Yates.

The team converted $3.85 million of Jones' 2022 salary into a signing bonus while adding two void years.

Jones signed a four-year, $48 million deal before last season, although only $13 million was guaranteed. According to Spotrac, he now has a $5.87 million cap hit for 2022.

The move comes as the Packers try to get under the salary cap, entering the day $37.4 million over the mark for 2022, second-worst in the NFL.
