The Green Bay Packers are in the midst of a roster turnover that has them turning to younger players in more prominent roles. This means they’ve made some tough decisions about veterans they let walk, with more choices to come.

Green Bay is trying to get their salary cap corrected after years of kicking the can down the road to keep a win-now window forced open. That puts them in an unhealthy spot with lots of overdue maintenance.

They can’t keep everyone (no team can), and these five Packers are playing for a lot of money entering contract years in 2023.

These five players on the Green Bay Packers have a lot of money riding on their 2023 season, as they enter contract years.

Packers with money on the line: Jon Runyan Jr.

Since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Jon Runyan Jr. has become a starting-caliber guard for the last two years. He’ll again have a chance to earn the right guard spot in 2023. If he does, he could prove himself as a capable guard and earn himself a nice pay raise from someone next year.
