This past offseason, the Minnesota Vikings decided to let former third-round pick Patrick Jones test the waters in free agency, and it eventually resulted in the veteran edge rusher landing a two-year, $15 million contract from the Carolina Panthers.
Jones was decent during his tenure with the Vikings, but they were never going to pay him the amount of money he got from the Panthers, especially since Minnesota had 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner waiting in the wings to get more time on defense.
Well, one game into his tenure with Carolina, and it already looks like the Vikings made the smart decision to move on from Jones earlier this year.
