RB Aaron Jones, MIN (6 Viewers)

How are owners feeling about him? He's taking all the snaps now which has me worried considering his injury history.

I want to cuff him with Chandler but Akers being there now has me pessimistic they will be RBBC.

Are yoiu trying to sell or acquire him?

I just acquired him 2 weeks ago during his bye week when he was banged up. Happy to get him…just needs to stay healthy. Not really interested in Chandler as a cuff.

Holding.

Was very disappointed with his running output last week against a middling but exploitable defense (19/53), but thrilled with the volume. The remaining schedule is pretty run-friendly, and he has emerged as the workhorse on a good offensive team. We know Jones very well by now....IF he can remain healthy, he will be money down the stretch. He always runs hard, and is always good for a handful of catches out of the backfield each week. Hopefully, his normal habit of missing some time each year with an injury is already behind him.
 
Aaron Jones has relegated Ty Chandler to cheerleader status right now. He's finally getting a bit more volume he never got in Green Bay not only in the running game, but he's arguably the teams' 2nd best receiver right now. They might dial him back a bit the next few weeks to keep him fresh, but 15-17 carries, 4-5 receptions and not coming off the field in the Red/Green Zone you'd take at his mid 40s-low 50s draft ADP.
 
Vikes will add a day 2 or early day 3 rookie
Said with such confidence when they have no day 2 or early day 3s currently.

The Minnesota Vikings are currently slated to make three selections in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Current Vikings 2025 Draft Picks:
Round 1
Round 5
Round 5 (from Browns via Za'Darius Smith trade)

You sure they don't have more pressing needs than to waste, err use 1 of 3 picks at RB?

OR did you mean next year?
Lol, my blunder, they are almost in the same situation as me in Usual Suspects concerning draft capitol

Resigned with Vikings. 2 years $20M
How many times will I have to see news about a player "resigning" before I no longer think for the first moment that it means they resigned from their position of being on the team?
I always feel like a bit of a grammar nazi whenever I see that or when someone says they could care less.

Not surprised at all to see Jones stay in Minnesota, it always seemed like the most likely option as it made sense from both sides. I am a little surprised by the price, I would have thought a 2-year deal would have been more in the 14M-16M range, especially given Jones age.

Makes no sense given the team's needs, his age and injury history and the depth of this year's class.

I would've rather seen them sign Cam Akers for the minimum and draft a guy or two late.

Keep in mind, right now, the Vikings have pick 24, then pick 97, then don't pick again until pick 140. They also have bigger needs than RB. I wouldn't be shocked if they ran it back with both Jones and Akers in 2025.

Vikings are probably a strong candidate to trade down in round 1.

How do you think I've felt for years now? Drives me around and through the roof. I've been on this board for about ten years and I've watched it become the norm. My favorite is over at the Steve Hoffman TV Forums when a record is being "repressed" instead of re-pressed. "Repressed" is how even the main industry trade site that's called Discogs uses it. I actually said to a headline of a record being "repressed" the other day that we'd better get it some Freud and quick.

"Help! Help! I'm being re-pressed!"

Monty Python. And my mouse as I refresh for more free agency news, probably.
