Hey, we need bodies, even old ones.
I'm not surprised...May mean we dont do anything on RB till draft now.

Aaron Jones will remain in Minnesota.
The Vikings running back agreed to a revised contract to play for the team in 2026 that lowers his base salary from $9 million to $5.5 million, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday.
It was a possibility Jones, 31, had played his last down in purple and was on his way out, but the two sides instead came to a compromise to spend a third year together.
Jones has run for 1,686 yards and seven touchdowns, with another 607 yards and three scores receiving, for the Vikings since 2024.

Keep an eye on that come Draft time.

I like the move. Great team guy and the price is reasonable and its short term. Makes a ton of sense. I suspect they still add an RB in draft in later rounds.

I think the Vikings like both guys, at least well enough. Sounds like they made an attempt for Etienne however. A RB is coming in the Draft and it could come any round, really.....maybe more than one RB.

Meh...indifferent. I thought he might end up coming back, except I thought it would be late in the cycle after the draft if we missed on a RB. This should not AT ALL change our draft plans.

Still need get a young RB in the first few rounds of the draft

Given who is still available as a FA, and the liklihood of either Notre Dame falling to us (slim, fat, none), I think this is a prudent move. He wasn't worth $9mm at age 31. But at almost half that...yeah that can work.
