Running back Aaron Jones is re-signing with the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year, $20 million deal that includes $13 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.
Jones signed a one-year contract worth $7 million with the Vikings last spring after turning down a pay cut from the Green Bay Packers. That made Jones the latest in a long line of Packers castoffs to join their divisional rival, a group that also includes quarterback Brett Favre, receiver Greg Jennings and placekicker Ryan Longwell.
Knowing Jones had endured a series of injuries in recent years and was approaching his 30th birthday, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell initially planned to use him in a committee system.
