Breaking: Former Packers Long-Time Starter Signs Massive 2-Year Deal

   

The Green Bay Packers know that their 2025 off-season will be looked at for a long time.  After coming off back-to -back playoff appearances, Green Bay is confident in their future.  That being said, many analysts agree that the team is a few pieces away from competing for a championship.

However, one former starter got a big contract with a new team.

As previously reported:

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, running back Aaron Jones will re-sign with the Minnesota Vikings for two years and $20 million:

Jones signed a one-year contract worth $7 million with the Vikings last spring after turning down a pay cut from the Green Bay Packers. That made Jones the latest in a long line of Packers castoffs to join their divisional rival, a group that also includes quarterback Brett Favre, receiver Greg Jennings and placekicker Ryan Longwell.

Knowing Jones had endured a series of injuries in recent years and was approaching his 30th birthday, Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell initially planned to use him in a committee system. But Jones quickly ascended to a feature back role and went on to have one of the most active and productive seasons of his career.
