Vikings give Aaron Jones $20 million contract after career-high season

The Minnesota Vikings are making Aaron Jones a rich man. Jones is signing a $20 million contract with the team, per ESPN. It is a two year deal that includes $13 million guaranteed.

Jones just had a terrific 2024 season with the team. He carried the ball 255 times for 1,138 yards and five touchdowns in the regular season. The Vikings got 14 victories on the year, but lost in the NFC playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams.

Jones had 13 carries for 48 yards in the team’s playoff game to L.A.

The Vikings running back will be expected to carry a bulk of carries again in 2025. Minnesota isn’t quite sure who its starting quarterback will be. Sam Darnold is not expected to stay with the team.
