The Green Bay Packers have released running back Aaron Jones after he refused to take a 50% pay cut, sparking interest from several NFL teams. The Packers had requested Jones to reduce his salary by 50% for the final year of his contract, a proposal that Jones and his team declined. Subsequently, the Dallas Cowboys have been identified as a team expected to heavily pursue Jones, with reports indicating an 'immediate call' to sign him following his release. Additionally, the Minnesota Vikings have emerged as another potential suitor for Jones, showing interest in the now-former Packers running back.
