Source: Vikings to sign former Packers running back Aaron Jones
Aaron Jones has spent his whole career in the NFL terrorizing the Vikings. Now he will serve as the leadback for his former biggest rival.
Less than 24 hours after the Green Bay Packers released him, Jones has agreed to terms with the Vikings. A source confirmed the agreement to the Pioneer Press.
It will be a 1-year, $7 million deal for Jones, according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero. That’s a reasonable price to pay considering Jones still appears more than capable of making a big impact.
He finished last season with 142 carries for 656 yards to go a long with 30 receptions for 233 yards. His best game might’ve come against the Vikings as he recorded 20 carries for 120 yards to help lead the Packers to a 33-10 win in primetime on New Year’s Eve.
In a total of 97 games for his career, Jones has 1,177 carries for 5,940 yards and 45 touchdowns as well as 272 receptions for 2,076 yards and 18 touchdowns.
