Running back Aaron Jones is set to join the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year contract valued at $7 million, following his release from the Green Bay Packers. The move keeps Jones within the NFC North, where he has previously tallied 502 rushing yards and four touchdowns in six games at Minnesota. The Packers had requested Jones to accept a pay cut from his expected $12 million for the season; however, Jones declined. Subsequently, the Packers signed Josh Jacobs to a four-year contract worth $12 million per season, effectively replacing Jones. This series of events unfolded just a day after Jones was released by the Packers, marking a swift transition for the running back within the division.
