The Green Bay Packers made room to restructure the Adrian Amos security contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Amos, who signed a four-year, $ 36 million contract with the Packers in 2019, was expected to count $ 10.3 million against the team limit in 2021. His business included a base salary of $ 4.9 million and a bonus of $ 1.5 million list, which can both be converted into a subscription bonus to free up space.
However, any limit released in 2021 would be pushed to 2022, when the maximum reached by Amos is already $ 10.9 million. It is possible that the Packers are comfortable with pushing the money forward, knowing that Amos may be the prime candidate for an extension of contract after the 2021 season.
Amos, who turns 28 in April, is coming out of an excellent 2020 season. He was the runner-up in overall safety at Pro Football Focus.
Restructuring your business using the conversion of the subscription bonus could free up nearly $ 3 million, according to Over the Cap. If the restructuring involves an extension or addition of annulable years, the savings could be even greater.
The Packers were $ 9.4 million above the salary cap on Friday. The team is expected to be under cover next Wednesday, the start of the new year of the league.
Other players capable of restructuring or extensions include quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver Davante Adams, edge rushers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith and striker Billy Turner.
