The Green Bay Packers and running back Aaron Jones have agreed to a four-year contract extension, keeping the two together through the 2025 season. The deal is reportedly worth $48 million, with $13 million guaranteed.
The Packers drafted Jones in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and he has been a key part of the team’s offense ever since. In his first three seasons, Jones has rushed for over 1,000 yards twice and has scored 33 touchdowns. He has also been a reliable pass-catcher out of the backfield, hauling in over 200 receptions in that span.
Jones’ production and versatility have been a major factor in the Packers’ success over the past few years. They have won the NFC North division title in each of the last three seasons, and Jones has been a major contributor to that success.
The extension is a win-win for both sides. The Packers get to keep one of their best offensive weapons around for the foreseeable future, while Jones gets to stay with a team that has shown faith in him and given him an opportunity to succeed.
The extension also shows that the Packers are committed to keeping their core players around for the long haul. They have already extended quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams this offseason, and now they have taken care of Jones as well.
The Packers and Aaron Jones have formed a strong bond over the past few years, and this extension ensures that bond will continue for at least another four years. The two sides have proven to be a great fit for each other, and this extension is a testament to that.
