The Green Bay Packers have freed up more ceiling space by restructuring the contract of offensive lineman Billy Turner, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
The restructuring is a salary conversion, on Pelissero, which means the Packers turn a base salary or list bonus into a signing bonus, allowing the team to prorate money throughout the transaction and save money on the ceiling this season. .
Like Adrian Amos, Turner’s four-year contract is two years away. The Packers turned Amos’ $ 1.5 million bonus this year into a signing bonus, creating $ 750,000 in 2021 and adding $ 750,000 in 2022. Something similar was probably done with Turner’s business.
Turner has a base salary of $ 4,525,000 and a list bonus of $ 1,000,000 this year. Packers could save $ 500,000 per head in 2021 by turning its list bonus into a signing bonus.
A versatile member of the offensive line, Turner has played left-back, right-back and right-back for the past two seasons in Green Bay.
Turner’s restructuring is the latest in a long list of moves by the Packers to get below the 2021 salary cap. The team released Christian Kirksey and Rick Wagner and restructured the transactions between Amos, David Bakhtiari and Preston Smith.
Depending on the type of restructuring, it is possible that the work on Turner’s business will put the Packers under cover.
The Packers have yet to do anything for the contracts of Aaron Rodgers, Za’Darius Smith or Davante Adams. And Dean Lowry is a candidate for the accident.
