Aaron Jones News
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has agreed to restructure his contract for the 2023 season. The 28-year-old was originally slated to make $20 million for the upcoming season. The two sides have agreed on a deal where Jones earns $11 million next season which includes an $8.52 million signing bonus. Last season, Jones totaled 1,516 yards from scrimmage while hauling in a career-high 59 receptions. He remains a key component in the Packers lackluster offense. Possibly, Jones sees his role in the receiving game regress if Green Bay upgrades a wide receiver this offseason. Regardless, the expectation is that Jones will remain an important part of this offense.
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that he expects running back Aaron Jones to return in 2023, but he didn't rule out restructuring Jones' contract like they've done with a lot of players to reduce his salary cap hit. The Packers have the option of opting out of the 28-year-old's deal for next season, but it appears they want him back if they can agree to restructure. In his sixth year with the team, Jones carried the ball 213 times for 1,121 yards and a career-low two touchdowns, but he also added a career-high 59 catches (72 targets) for 395 yards and five more TDs in 17 games. It was his third 1,000-yard season, and he finished as the RB10 in half-point PPR scoring. As long as quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns in 2023 as well, Jones should be treated as a solid low-end RB1/high-end RB2.
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones gained 48 yards on 12 carries, caught 3-of-4 targets for 20 yards, and lost a fumble during the team's 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions. It is a quiet end to another top-12 fantasy season for the 28-year-old. There was speculation about what Jones' workload would look like in both aspects of the offense. Teammate AJ Dillon ended the 2021 season hot, and many believed he would lose a significant amount of carries to him. However, the sixth-year back recorded the second-highest carry count of his carrier and out-carried Dillon 213-186. The departure of wide receiver Davante Adams implied Jones would receive a more significant target share. However, he added only seven to his 2021 total, finishing with just four more receiving yards and one fewer receiving touchdown. The one low note for Jones to point at would be his lack of rushing touchdowns, with only two on the season. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future in limbo, Jones' fantasy value in 2023 stands to potentially take a small hit. He will likely be viewed as a fringe RB1 come draft season.
