GREEN BAY — With more than $9 million to shed off their salary cap at the start of the day, a much-ballyhooed first-round draft pick who needs to move up the quarterback depth chart and relative pennies to pinch in salary to set the stage for any free-agent moves they hope to make, the Green Bay Packers got down to financial business on Friday with a handful of moves.
The team:
• Restructured the contract of outside linebacker Preston Smith, who took a significant pay cut with the opportunity to earn that money back via incentives, according to Sports Illustrated and the NFL Network;
• Moved money around within starting safety Adrian Amos’ contract to create cap room, according to ESPN;
• Informed No.
