[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 865606"] It's not the structure of his contract. He got a salary escalator which is a CBA provision, as did Jones, based on snap counts. Those escalators are available to any player in the league in their 4th. season taken from the 3rd. round or lower who qualify as described in this link: [URL]https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2020/01/31/packers-rbs-aaron-jones-jamaal-williams-earn-salary-escalators-for-2020/[/URL] Other players have gotten these escalators in the past. Martinez got one last season. The Jones' and Williams' escalators were around around $1.3 - $1.4 mil each, which comes off the cap. Williams does everything pretty well, he's experienced, and he's been durable. He won't be going anywhere. If anybody is replaced it would be Ervin, the 3rd. back who really isn't a back and who is a UDFA. Dexter Williams from the last draft is still hanging around. A speed back might be drafted in the lower rounds but it won't be to replace Williams. By the way, the savings in releasing Williams is not $2.3 mil. It would be $1.8 mil at the most, if that even mattered, if his replacement is a minimum salary rookie making around $500,000. [/QUOTE]
