Aaron Jones Sr. has agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Jones’ deal includes $13 million guaranteed for the running back coming off a solid first season as part of an explosive Minnesota offense, rushing for a career-high 1,138 yards in 2024. Questions remain at quarterback, but Jones remains a solid RB2 option with upside going into the 2025 season.

The Minnesota Vikings' front office and pending free agent RB Aaron Jones Sr. have agreed to move back the void date on the veteran back's contract to the final day before free agency.

Fantasy Impact

This move allows Jones and the Vikings to have more time to discuss an extension, as Minnesota was set to take on $3.2 million in dead money in 2025. By moving the date back, the two sides can further work through a potential extension, with the front office likely wanting to minimize the cap hit it was set to take in the process during Jones' void year. This does not guarantee a deal will be made, but it shows both parties are interested in a longer partnership.

Fantasy Impact
