This offseason, the Green Bay Packers decided to part ways with running back Aaron Jone due to disagreements over a revised contract. Jones, nearing 30, had a hefty $17.6 million cap hit. Despite the Packers offering a reworked one-year deal with potential incentives totaling $6 million, Jones declined and joined the rival Minnesota Vikings for a similar one-year contract worth $6 million with additional incentives.
Now, the Packers must fill the gap left by one of their top three running backs in history. They may look to sign a notable free agent and are committed to employing a committee approach, allowing other running backs to contribute.
In the upcoming series, we’ll analyze each running back on the Packers’ roster, discussing their projections and expectations for the 2024 season. The series will cover every player on Green Bay’s 91-man roster over the next two weeks, following a position-by-position format. Below is the publishing schedule.
