The Green Bay Packers‘ decision to move on from Aaron Jones in favor of Josh Jacobs during the 2024 off-season was a controversial one, to say the least. Jones is still a major fan favorite in Green Bay and will seemingly always have a spot in Packers’ fans hearts.
Even as Jones’ time with Minnesota likely coming to an end, Green Bay could still be on the hook to play against him in 2025.
Packers’ 2025 Opponent Eyeing Aaron Jones As Vikings’ Future Becomes Murky (Report)
This offseason, Jones will once again be available as a free agent. A running back will undoubtedly be in high demand by some teams. One team is continues to surface over and over:
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Denver Broncos are expected to “take a look” at a versatile back for Sean Payton‘s rushing scheme. Fowler noted that given Jones’ eight years of NFL experience, he could be a strong fit for a team that is looking to take the next step.
During the 2024 season, the Broncos struggled to generate much on the ground as they tallied the 17th-most rushing yards per game (112.2). Javonte Williams tallied the most yards out of the backfield (513), with Jaleel McLaughlin just behind with 496 yards.
In his debut campaign in Minnesota, Aaron Jones ran for 1,138 yards with five scores on 255 attempts. He added 408 yards and two scores on 51 receptions.
Even though he is entering his age-30 season, Jones should be in a good position to tally over 1,000 yards on the ground once again in 2025.
Here is a look at Jones’ 2024 season stats:
