Aaron Jones agrees to contract restructure to give Green Bay Packers' some salary cap relief, according to an NFL source with access to NFL salary information.
Jones’ cash payout this year is a $1.58 million base salary, the $8.52 million signiing bonus, a per game roster bonus of a maximum of $400,000 and a workout bonus of $500,000.The Packers were around $20 million over the salary cap to start the off-season and so regardless of the status of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, they were going to have to restructure several contracts to get in line with the spending limit.
Jones produced his third 1,000-yard rushing season in the past four years, totaling 1,121 yards and two touchdowns on 213 carries. In addition, he caught 59 passes for 395 yards and five touchdowns. His 1,516 yards from scrimmage ranked ninth in the NFL and his 5.3-yard average ranked first among running backs with at least 150 carries.
The only downside to Jones’ season were his five fumbles, including a crucial loss in the season-finale defeat to the Detroit Lions. Jones signed a four-year, $48 million contract on March 14, 2021. It paid him a $13 million signing bonus and features an $11.1 million base salary next season, which was not changed as a result of the restructure.
