The Green Bay Packers have an empty roster spot after placing Trente Jones on the reserve/retired list on Monday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers on Monday placed undrafted rookie offensive lineman Trente Jones on the reserve/retired list.. According to OverTheCap.com, the Packers gave him a $10,000 signing bonus and guaranteed $100,000 of his base salary as part of a three-year contract. Presumably, Jones will not get to keep that money.
Jones worked with the No. 1 offensive line as the right guard at last week’s rookie camp, though he obviously would have fallen into the background for the start of organized team activities next week. In four seasons at Michigan, the former four-star recruit played in 41 games with 13 starts. He started five games at right tackle as a senior, including three of the most important games of the national champions’ season.
After standout guard Zak Zinter suffered a broken leg against Ohio State, Jones started in the Big Ten Championship Game against Iowa and the playoff victories over Alabama and Washington. According to Pro Football Focus, the Wolverines threw the ball 86 times in those three games and Jones allowed only three pressures. In 395 offensive snaps overall, including 148 passes, Jones allowed only those three pressures.
