Amid all the rumors flying around the future of Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers(or in the NFL), the team made a key move Thursday morning that added more space to their financial legroom. According to a report by Field Yates of ESPN, the Packers have created over $3 million worth of cap space by revising running back Aaron Jones' compensation.

The Packers have created $3.08M in 2022 cap space by converting $3.85M of RB Aaron Jones' 2022 compensation into a signing bonus and adding two void years, per source. Green Bay has now created nearly $14M in cap space over the past two days, with more moves ahead.

The Packers are still way above the cap, with over $40 million worth of salaries in excess of the limit. There could be more moves to come for Green Bay to further alleviate their salary cap situation, but they have certainly made quite a stride in that area with this latest move on Jones.
