Micah Parsons Is Surprised With How Packers’ Treated Aaron Jones In Free Agency

The arrival of a new running back for the Green Bay Packers might mean the loss of Aaron Jones, the team’s most beloved player and the engine of the offense. What did not sit right with Micah Parsons is how Jones has been treated in this transaction.

Micah Parsons Is Surprised With How Packers Treated Aaron Jones In Free Agency

On Monday, the Packers and Josh Jacobs, the running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, came to an agreement that will probably cost the Packers a lot of money.

The Packers have been working to lower Jones’ $17.6 million salary cap amount at the same time, perhaps in an effort to reach a situation where they could retain both backs. However, it’s possible that the Packers demanded a big pay reduction in order to lower Jones’ salary cap figure.

After reaching an agreement with free agency running back Josh Jacobs, the Packers informed Jones that he was being released, according to a number of Monday sources.

The standout defensive player for the Dallas Cowboys saw the news, which was broken by NFL sources including ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He did not disguise his displeasure with the Packers’ choice.

“This is actually wild to me! The Aaron jones disrespect is crazy!!” Parsons referenced Schefter’s story in his piece on X.

According to a source, the Packers felt that releasing Jones was their only choice after talks with Jones’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, ceased on Monday. Late in the afternoon, the Packers made the announcement.

The Packers will have around $5.2 million in salary cap room by letting him go immediately. There’s always the possibility that Jones will go on the market, find something he doesn’t like, and decide he wants to return.

If he didn’t know he could perform better on the free market, though, it’s unlikely he would reject whatever the Packers were giving.

Jones was expected to earn a base salary of $11.1 million, with the Packers bearing a $17.6 million cap charge.

In 11 games in 2023, Jones accumulated 656 running yards and two touchdowns.
