The Minnesota Vikings announced a new deal for running back Aaron Jones .

Jones reportedly signed a two-year, $20-million contract that includes $13 million guaranteed, sources told Adam Schefter.

Aaron Jones posted a career-high 1,138 rushing yards with five touchdowns after signing a one year deal with the Vikings last March. He also added 51 catches for 408 receiving yards and two scores in 2024. Jones helped the Vikings to a 14-3 record last year before losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs.

The 30-year-old joined Minnesota after spending seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers where he had up 8,016 scrimmage yards and 63 total touchdowns.

Ty Chandler is the only other tailback under contract with the team for next season. Cam Akers will be a free agent.

Minnesota provides some stability to a backfield that is still up in question after quarterback Sam Darnold join the Seattle Seahawks.
