In fact, there was no intelligence used at all. After not bending the knee to Cousins, Kwesi is finally able to do what he do. The results thus far have been fascinating at the very least and some of the free agents have been good gets IMO. I like the Greenard, Cashman, Van Ginkel, and Aaron Jones signings. The Darnold signing is aight I guess. The Quessenberry, Brandel, Bullard,...

One of Green Bay’s all-time greats is going to wear purple...again.

More details emerge about the Packers’ final offer to RB Aaron Jones

Photo by Kayla Wolf/ As more information starts to leak, it’s clear why Jones is now a Minnesota Vikings. One day after the Green Bay Packers officially cut him, running back Aaron Jones signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings. As we’ve all learned by this point, though, numbers are not always as concrete as they are originally reported. In this case, according to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, Jones really signed a $6 million deal with $1 million in additional incentives. Why does that matter? Because the Packers reportedly wanted the...

Vikings to sign RB Aaron Jones

Welcome to the good side, Aaron. | Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports Coming over from the dark side Breaking early on Tuesday morning, the Minnesota Vikings are set to sign stud RB Aaron Jones pending formal release from the Green Bay Packers. This is a heck of a deal for the team in purple, and it’s a sign of just how liberated the Vikings front office may feel in the wake of Kirk Cousins signing with the Atlanta Falcons. Jones is expected to sign a 1-year, $7 million deal according to NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport and Tom Pelissero. Jones is 29 years old. Jones...

Report: The Vikings will sign RB Aaron Jones to a 1-year, deal

Photo by Hannah Foslien/ Based on the reporting on the subject, Minnesota’s offer was not much more than Green Bay’s final offer — which was rejected on Friday. It took less than 24 hours for running back Aaron Jones to find a new team. Just one day after the Green Bay Packers moved on from the ball carrier, he has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jones’ new contract will be worth $7 million. That’s a notable number, as the Packers were due to pay Jones $12...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Aaron Jones departs and Josh Jacobs arrives

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The Packers’ spent big on the first day of the legal tampering period and also handed some noteworthy names their walking papers. Well, you know what they say about what happens when you assume. For weeks, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Aaron Jones would be in green and gold this fall. Brian Gutekunst said fairly explicitly that he wanted him back, and Jones, a crucial part of the Packers’ late-season surge, seemed poised to do what he’s done in the past and take a pay cut to stay in Green Bay. But this morning Jones is...

Report: Minnesota Vikings interested in signing RB Aaron Jones

Photo by Stephen Maturen/ The Vikings are looking to make the former Green Bay Packer their number one back in 2024. In a joint report, The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman and Dianna Russini claim that former Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is being shown interest on the open market by one of the Packers’ divisional rivals, the Minnesota Vikings. Based on their reporting, Jones is only a free agent because he and his representation couldn’t see eye-to-eye on compensation. Apparently, Green Bay asked Jones to take about a 50 percent pay cut to return to the...

Photo by Dylan Buell/ Jones becomes Green Bay’s third cap causality of the offseason, saving the Packers roughly $5 million in cap space with his release. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Green Bay Packers will be releasing running back Aaron Jones.

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Time for the Packers to invest at running back?

Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports Do the Packers need to make some big moves at running back? If we learned anything in 2023, it’s that running backs can still mean a lot in the right situation. The Packers were just different when Aaron Jones was on the field, to say nothing of how he contributed off the field. And just as importantly, the Packers clearly had no answers when Jones dealt with his panoply of injuries throughout the season. AJ Dillon failed to measure up, Emanuel Wilson was too injured, and Patrick Taylor was too limited to carry the load in Jones’...

Report: Packers could release RB Aaron Jones

Photo by Ryan Kang/ “If the two can’t reach agreement in the next two weeks, the Packers would release him and then hope whatever they are offering isn’t matched on the open market.” According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, running back Aaron Jones’ agent Drew Rosenhaus and the Green Bay Packers have discussed a possible adjustment to the ball-carrier’s contract — but a deal has yet to be reached. This is significant, as Jones currently commands a $17.6 million cap hit in 2024, the second-highest mark of any running back in the...
