One of the biggest storylines this NFL offseason will be the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packer. According to recent reports, it appears as though the two sides could in fact be finished with one another, which could be a major shakeup not only for the franchise but in the NFC North division as well.
However, the future of another Aaron with the Packers has apparently already been decided. According to multiple reports, running back Aaron Jones has agreed to a salary cut but will also be receiving a signing bonus of $8.52 million. Jones himself would then take to Twitter to confirm the news posted by ESPN's Adam Schefter:
According to Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst, he expected Jones to be back with the team in 2023.
"The way he leads that football team, his consistency, is amazing," Gutekunst said last month. "In this league, you can't have just one [running back]. Obviously, having AJ [Dillon], it's nice to have that one-two punch. Aaron, when we got first here, you're thinking, 'Hey, this probably won't last long because the way he's built and his size,' and he just keeps on defying the odds."
"With the way we're doing things lately, we'll probably restructure everybody and try to keep making some [salary-cap] room," he continued.
In 2022, Jones racked up 1,121 yards while adding seven total touchdowns.
