Aaron Jones has been a vital component to the Packers’ offense. He fits the bill perfectly because of how much versatility he brings, as a runner breaking tackles, as a pass catcher getting upfield and even as a blocker for Aaron Rodgers.
Jones will be playing under a cap hit of $5.9 million in 2022, which is an uptick from his $4.4 million a year ago.
The problem lies in 2023. That’s when his cap hit skyrockets to $20 million. Jaire Alexander will be a free agent in 2023 and will command top dollar as will Elgton Jenkins — one of the most versatile offensive lineman in the league.
