Vikings, RB Aaron Jones working toward an extension
Last offseason, the Green Bay Packers controversially replaced their former Pro Bowl running back, Aaron Jones, with Josh Jacobs, a free agent signing from the Las Vegas Raiders. One year in, I’d argue that the Packers made the right decision, in part because Jacobs is so much younger. However, Jones’ release did lead to him signing with the in-division rival Minnesota Vikings.
On his one-year deal, Jones was able to record 255 carries — the most in his NFL career — for 1,138 rushing yards — again, the most of his NFL career — and five rushing touchdowns. He also caught 51 balls for 408 yards and two touchdowns.
