Aaron Jones to Washington? Vikings' Next RB

0:00It's March 5th for the NFL, let's get into it. The Minnesota Vikings are expected to release running back Aaron Jones next week, unless they find a trade partner, which seems unlikely. The 31-year-old, who turns 32 in December, needs a new team. Bleacher Report points to the Washington commanders as the ideal landing spot. Washington's backfield features Ricky Jacobi-Croskey-Marit as the potential lead back, but he words best as a change of pace option. Jones brings power and reliability on early downs, fitting head coach Dan Quinn's scheme perfectly. The commanders love adding proven veterans for depth, just like they did with players such as Bobby Wagner and Austin Eckler. Meanwhile, other teams could pursue Jones too. Pittsburgh offers familiarity with new coach Mike McCarthy from his Green Bay days. Jacksonville needs a steady hand behind young backs, and a return to Green Bay as a backup to Josh Jacobs makes sense given his seven seasons there. For the Vikings, Jordan Mason lines up as the next number one runner.

1:01They might chase free agents like Travis Etienne, or Kenneth Walker III, or grab a rookie in rounds two through four, such as Giderian Price, or Nick Singleton. The situation remains fluid this offseason, but Minnesota and Washington face off a U.S. Bank Stadium next year, adding intrigue of Jones signs. There, DNN is brought to you by our sponsor.
