The Green Bay Packers are considering the possibility of parting ways with Aaron Jones if they fail to reach an agreement on restructuring his contract. The team is seeking a potential pay reduction from Jones as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 season. Negotiations between Green Bay and Jones’ agent are ongoing, aiming to find a compromise that ensures fair compensation for Jones while aligning with the Packers’ financial plans.
Should an agreement not be reached during free agency discussions, the Packers are prepared to release Jones. He is entering the final year of a four-year, $48 million contract, with a base salary of $11 million and a cap hit of $17.6 million. Despite missing six games due to injury, Jones finished the season on a strong note, showcasing his talent with five consecutive 100-yard rushing performances, including a standout performance against the Cowboys in the playoffs.
The situation with Jones is closely monitored given his potential in Green Bay, but financial considerations remain paramount. His established chemistry with the team could prove invaluable. The Packers, after a challenging start of 3-6, finished the season on a positive note with a 6-2 run.
In addition, reports suggest that the Packers are unlikely to re-sign running back A.J. Dillon in the offseason. Dillon, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent, faces uncertain prospects. While he managed 613 rushing yards and contributed in receiving yards and touchdowns, his future with the team appears uncertain. Nonetheless, Dillon could still find a role on another team’s roster with a cost-effective contract.
