Aaron Jones’ contract on Sunday was a stunning piece of news for Green Bay Packers fans. After the team elected not to place the franchise tag on Jones last week, assuming that Jones would test the free agent market was a reasonable thought. In fact, that Jones signed prior to the start of the NFL’s negotiation period on Monday was genuinely shocking.
Jones’ deal was initially reported as a four-year, $48 million deal. However, that detail came from Jones’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and likely represents the maximum possible compensation if Jones hits all the incentives that are surely included in the deal.
