shutterstock_732558532437397

Green Bay Packers and star running back Aaron Jones came to agreement to restructure his contract for the upcoming 2023 football season. This means that the Packers have plans on keeping Jones on the roster for at least 1 more season. Jones signed a massive 4-year $48 million deal back in 2021. This year Jones is set to make $11 million, plus $8.52 million in signing bonus.

Packers decided to restructure his deal to reduce his salary cap hit. Originally it would’ve been over a $20 million hit, making it the highest among all running backs in the 2023 NFL season. However, Green Bay and Jones haven’t made any changes to the contract for 2024, as Jones is set to make $12 million with a $16 million cap hit in the final year of his contract.

“This album has been a long time coming. This collection of music is very special to me, I have been chomping at the bit to get this to my fans. These are songs that I love and believe in with all that I am.

My fans fell in love with me when there was steel and fiddle on my records. I truly hate that I got away from that for a bit trying to chase something that wasn’t real, but I humbly admit, I am a work in progress.”, Craig wrote.

Bruce Willis Has Been Diagnosed With Dementia

Almost a year after Bruce Willis’ aphasia diagnosis was made public, his family has now shared an update with his fans.

“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis. In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.”

Since sharing Bruce initial diagnosis, the family said that they now have a “more specific diagnosis” of frontotemporal dementia, known as FTD. They explained also what the diagnosis means for him.

“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone,” the note continued. “For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.”
