It took less than 24 hours for running back Aaron Jones to find a new team. Just one day after the Green Bay Packers moved on from the ball carrier, he has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jones’ new contract will be worth $7 million. That’s a notable number, as the Packers were due to pay Jones $12 million in 2024 before ultimately settling on releasing the back. Per several reports over the last few days, Green Bay’s front office asked Jones to take a pay cut in the 50 percent range, meaning that the Packers’ offer was only about a million dollars short of what the Vikings gave him.
