This offseason, the Green Bay Packers made the decision to move off of running back Aaron Jones, due to the two sides not seeing eye-to-eye on a reworked deal. At the time, Jones was due a cap hit of $17.6 million — an incredibly high mark for a back nearing 30 years old. Ultimately, Jones turned down the Packers’ offer to rework the final year of his contract to a one-year, $4 million contract with $2 million in additional money that he could have potentially earned through incentives. Instead, he signed with the rival Minnesota Vikings a day later on a one-year deal that paid him $6 million with $1 million in additional incentives.
