Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has officially restructured his contract for the upcoming season, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. The new agreement is valued at $5.6 million and includes $5 million in guaranteed money, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The move comes as Aaron Jones prepares for his first season in Minnesota after a long tenure with the Green Bay Packers. Jones signed with the Vikings earlier this offseason to lead a backfield that has seen significant turnover. By restructuring this deal, the Vikings front office secures the veteran playmaker while managing their salary cap flexibility heading into the remainder of the calendar year.
Jones, a former Pro Bowler, is expected to be a focal point of head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense. During his seven seasons in the NFC North, Jones has accumulated over 5,900 rushing yards and 45 rushing touchdowns. His familiarity with the division and dual-threat capabilities as a receiver make him a critical component of the Vikings' strategy for the 2024 campaign.
