Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha said their client
had reached an agreement to reduce his salary for 2023 from $16
million to $11 million in exchange for a signing bonus of $8.52
million.
Jones, 28, rushed for a career-high 1,121 yards and a career-low
two touchdowns while starting all 17 games in his sixth season
with the Packers in 2022.
Under terms of the four-year, $48 million contract he signed in
2021, he was due to receive a $7.1 million roster bonus next
month and an $8.1 million base salary in 2023. The reconfigured
deal replaces the roster bonus with a signing bonus, reducing
his salary-cap figure.
Since being drafted in the fifth round by Green Bay in 2017,
Jones has earned one Pro Bowl selection (2020) and posted three
1,000-yard seasons. He enters 2023 ranked third in franchise
history with 5,284 rushing yards, behind only Ahman Green
(8,322) and Hall of Fame member Jim Taylor (8,207).
