The Facts: Jones is a pending free agent, having completed his fourth season. But he might not be done in Green Bay. “We would love to have Aaron back. I think he’s such an important part of our offense this year, he’s a dynamic player. He’s absolutely everything we want in a professional football player,” GM Brian Gutekunst said on Monday, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “So we’d certainly like to bring him back.”
Diehards Line:
Jones has been a major contributor to Green Bay’s offense over the last few years, particularly since Matt LaFleur took over as head coach. Jones has rushed for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, recording 1,459 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns in 2020. Jones has rushed for 3,364 yards and 37 touchdowns from 2017-2020. He’s also caught 131 passes for 1,057 yards with six TDs. ... Jones is sure to draw heavy interest on the open market, assuming he gets there. We'll be watching this one closely.
