Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones doesn’t view his contract restructuring as a pay cut, even if the new deal did slash his total compensation in 2023 by $5 million.
The 28-year-old wanted to be in Green Bay and was willing to do what was necessary financially to make it happen. Instead of $16 million in 2023, he’ll make $11 million, which trails only Christian McCaffery ($12 million) among running backs. Most importantly, the restructuring saved the Packers almost $12 million on the cap this season.
