The Green Bay Packers are riding high after their Week One thrashing of the Chicago Bears. The Packers left Solider Field with their heads held high after a 38-20 victory over their hated rivals. Now just days later, the Packers have made a surprising move to clear up some salary cap space.
The Green Bay Packers Restructure OT Yosh Nijman’s Contract To Clear Up Nearly $3M In Cap Space

According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Green Bay Packers added four void years to the contract of offensive tackle Yosh Nijman last Saturday. The move created more than $2.5 million in cap space this year.
Before the Nijman was slated to count $4.3 million towards the cap for 2023. This offseason, he signed a one-year restricted tender to return with the Packers.
Over the course of the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Nijman started 21 games for the Packers. On Sunday, he played seven snaps on special teams and five offensive snaps for the Packers against the Bears.
The Packers should have around $11.5 million in cap space for the remainder of the season after accounting for the $2.54 million in savings. Spotrac says that number would rank sixth in the NFL for most cap space.
Could the Packers be preparing to make a move via trade or free agency?
