Pro Bowl running back Aaron Jones has agreed to a new deal with the Green Bay Packers and won’t be exploring free agency. Drew Rosenhaus, Jones’ agent, confirmed that his client had agreed on a four-year deal worth $48 million that includes a $13 million signing bonus. The move removes one of the biggest names from the market at the start of a week in which NFL teams can begin negotiating with free agents. Jones rushed for 1,104 yards and nine touchdowns and also caught 47 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns last season.
September 15 – Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson did not participate in practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to their respective hamstring injuries.
Jones sustained his injury at the end of his 35-yard touchdown catch and run in Green Bay’s 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. He finished with nine carries for 41 yards and a score and two receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown.
Jones, 28, has rushed for 5,325 yards with 44 touchdowns in 87 career games with the Packers. He also has 244 catches for 1,929 yards and 18 scores.
Fellow running back A.J. Dillon likely would see a boost in playing time if Jones is unable to play in Sunday’s game at the Atlanta Falcons.
Watson, 24, was an early second-round pick of the Packers in the 2022 draft and entered his sophomore season as the team’s No. 1 wideout. He did not play in the season opener due to his injury.
