Ricky Jean Francois is being released by the Packers according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. They gave him a $250,000 signing bonus this offseason as part of a one-year, $2 million deal. Now, 16/17ths of his $1.25 million base salary is wiped off their books.

Jean-Francois is a vested veteran. Isn't his salary guaranteed by having been on the week 1 roster?

Because he was on the roster Week 1, Ricky Jean Francois can still collect the rest of his $1.25 million base salary via the one-time veteran termination pay rule. The only thing the Packers save on is his weekly roster bonuses, which had $375,000 of the $400,000 left available.
