Aaron Jones is joining the Packers’ NFC North rival after spending the first seven years of his NFL career in Green Bay.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the veteran running back has agreed to a one-year deal worth $7 million with the Minnesota Vikings.
Jones, 29, is leaving the Packers following his release on Monday, with the team signing former Las Vegas Raiders star as his replacement.

He played 11 games for the NFC North side last season because of hamstring problems but still led the team in rushing as he recorded 656 yards on 142 carries, also scoring two touchdowns. He also logged 226 total yards and three touchdowns on 39 carries in the playoffs.
The incoming Vikings star was a fifth-round pick in 2017 and wasted little time establishing himself as the main backfield option for Green Bay. He became their lead back in 2019, securing his first 1,000-yard season and rushing for a league-leading 16 rushing touchdowns.
