Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton harped on the need for a potent running game. They finished 16th in rushing yards in 2024. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggested the Broncos could be a landing spot for Minnesota Vikings free agent-to-be Aaron Jones.
Jones, 30, set career highs with 255 carries for 1,138 rushing yards for the Vikings last season.
The former Green Bay Packers star and 2020 Pro Bowler signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Vikings during free agency in 2024.
“Expect Denver to look for a versatile back to bolster Sean Payton’s offense,” Fowler wrote on January 29. “Could Jones fit the mold despite his age? He’s the kind of runner/pass catcher who just might.”
