Minnesota Vikings to re-sign RB Aaron Jones, per reports
Aaron Jones will avoid free agency and re-sign with the Minnesota Vikings. He agreed to a two-year deal worth $20 million to stay in the Twin Cities, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Free agency's top running back is now off the market after securing his NFL home for the 2025 season.
Jones found himself in free agency for the second straight offseason. He inked a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 following his departure from the Green Bay Packers. Remaining in the NFC North turned out to be a good thing for Jones, who turned 306 touches into 1,546 scrimmage yards.
The 30-year-old has been bitten by the injury bug in recent years but managed to play in all 17 games last season.
After being buried in what was a strong running back market headlined by Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs in 2024, Jones finally had his chance to be atop the class.
