The Green Bay Packers met with star running back Aaron Jones‘ agents during the 2024 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, trying to rework his contract to lower his cap number, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinal report.

Jones, 29, is set to count $11 million against the cap this, a figure that the Packers would love to lower significantly, especially with a massive contract extension likely in the offing for quarterback Jordan Love this offseason.

According to Tom Silverstein, “If the two can’t reach agreement in the next two weeks, the Packers would release him and then hope whatever they are offering isn’t matched on the open market. If it wasn’t, they’d have a chance at re-signing him at their price.”

Should the Packers release Jones before the new league year begins, and designate him as a June 1 cut, Green Bay would create $11.85 million in new cap space for the 2024 season while triggering a $5.71 million dead money charge.

Jones is set to count $17.5 million against the cap this upcoming season, including collecting an $11 million base salary in the final year of a four-year contract signed with the Packers back in 2021.
