Packers Predicted to Cut Ties With $48 Million Star: ‘Foregone Conclusion.

t has not been an easy year for Packers running back Aaron Jones. He has had some highlights, going back to his Week 1 performance against the Bears and, more recently, in his Week 16 showing against the Panthers, in which he tallied a season-high 127 yards.  But in between, he has struggled with a knee injury that has limited him to nine mostly ineffective games.

He opened the season as, arguably, the most important Packers player on offense. He will close it, though, as a serious question mark and, possibly, playing his final games in Green Bay. That’s the possibility raised by the NFL contract experts at Spotrac, who have Jones on the “roster bubble” for 2024.

As writer Mike Ginnitti put it, “A knee injury diverted an already low-producing 2023, putting Aaron Jones and his $17.7M cap hit on notice this winter. A Pre-June 1 release frees up $5.3M, while the Packers can open up $12M if they push this past June 1st.”
