The Minnesota Vikings are evaluating their backfield options and are inclined to limit veteran running back Aaron Jones' playing time in the upcoming season. Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized the team's appreciation for Jones’ significant contributions last season, where he set career highs for touches and rushing yards. Jones, approaching free agency and age 30, may see a reduction in snaps to optimize team performance and potentially integrate younger talent either through the draft or free agency.
We do not want to repeat their heavy use of veteran Aaron Jones, who set career highs in touches, carries, and offensive snaps in his first season with the team.
For the better part of his career, he had kind of been a part of backfield committees, but for the most part, Aaron Jones was the feature back in 2024.
