Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr. earned a bump in base salary for the 2023 season thanks to the proven performance escalator (PPE), a provision in the CBA that allows draft picks outside the first round to increase base salary in the fourth year of a rookie deal based on playing time and performance during the player’s first three seasons.
Runyan earned a first-level escalator after playing at least 35 percent of the Packers’ offensive snaps during at least two of his first three seasons. As a result, his base salary in 2023 increased to $2,745,000. His new cap hit next season will be $2,788,670, per Over the Cap.
