The Green Bay Packers front office has been hectic so far this offseason. They have been getting ready for the NFL Draft and signing some free agents. The Packers would sign players from other teams and resign some key players back to the team.

As free agency starts to slow down, full details of the player’s contracts are beginning to be revealed. Two contracts of two players the Packers brought back were revealed today.
Green Bay Packers Running Back AJ Dillon’s Contract Details
The Green Bay Packers and AJ Dillon would agree late last week. Dillon, entering his fourth season, signed a four-year qualify contract. It is a type of contract that isn’t seen very often, but this is the definition from NFL.com:
Another type of veteran salary benefit, it can be offered to a player with at least four credited seasons whose contract with a team has expired after being on said team for four or more consecutive, uninterrupted league years prior to his contract expiring.
The details of Dillon’s contract were revealed from Ken Ingalls on X.
This means Dillon will absolutely have to earn his job in camp. If he’s released he will only count $167,500 in dead cap. Dillon’s presence shouldn’t change the draft strategy whatsoever. If he’s good they keep him on a min deal. If he’s not, small price to move on. https://t.co/eRUZio32SW
