The Minnesota Vikings have retained standout running back Aaron Jones on a two-year, $20 million deal, according to multiple reports on Sunday.
The deal reportedly guarantees Jones $13 million.
The 30-year-old Jones excelled in his first season with the Vikings by rushing for a career-high 1,138 yards in 17 games. It marked his fourth time topping 1,000 in eight NFL seasons.
Jones also set a personal best of 255 carries, a significant increase over his 142 carries in 11 games for the Green Bay Packers in 2023.
Jones rushed for five touchdowns and caught 51 passes for 408 yards and two scores last season. He had 1,546 scrimmage yards, just 12 shy of his career best for the Packers in 2019.
Jones, a fifth-round pick in 2017 out of UTEP, spent his first seven seasons with Green Bay and topped 1,000 rushing yards in 2019, 2020 and 2022. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020.
Overall, Jones has rushed for 7,078 yards and 50 touchdowns and caught 323 passes for 2,484 yards and 20 scores in 114 regular-season games (102 starts).
