FF TodayAaron Jones sticks in NFC North, one-year deal with MIN

$7 million Aaron Jones is expected to sign with Vikings on a one-year deal for $7 million, per sources. (Dianna Russini on X) FF Today's Take: It's been reported that Green Bay wanted Jones to take roughly a 50% pay cut as he was set to make roughly $12 million. Jones (29) will now wear purple and likely share running back duties with Ty Chandler. He was battling hamstring injuries most of 2023 but did finish the season with five-straight 100-yard rushing games.

Draft SharksAaron Jones set to lead Minnesota backfield

The Vikings have agreed to a deal with former Packers RB Aaron Jones, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. This comes just a day after Jones' release and Green Bay's announced deal with RB Josh Jacobs. Minnesota finished last season with Ty Chandler leading the backfield, and he should still factor in a decent amount. Jones has averaged 12.1 carries per game for his career and reached 13.0 in just two of his seven seasons. But we're betting Jones will lead the Vikings in both carries and RB targets. He should be a top-18 RB across draft formats and carries upside into the top 12. Jones turned 29 in December but also closed out the season with five straight games of 108+ rushing yards (and 18+ carries in each of those). Chandler looks like an RB4 -- with handcuff upside behind a starter who has missed games in five of seven seasons. Check our updated RB rankings to see where the new teammates land.
