MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a two-year, $20 million contract with running back Aaron Jones that prevents the popular veteran from reaching free agency after a solid debut with his former rival. Jones will get $13 million guaranteed, his agent Drew Rosenhaus said. The 30-year-old set career highs with 255 attempts and 1,138 yards for the Vikings in 2024. Jones was the third rusher in franchise history to hit the 1,000-yard mark in his first year with Minnesota. He played his first seven seasons in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.
