Aaron Jones was one of the most beloved players in Green Bay during his time with the Packers, as well as one of the most productive players in his position. He had a great 2022 season after establishing career-high numbers for yardage and he expected many more of that for 2023, as did the team.
But things went sideways last year. Of the team’s schedule, he only played in 11 games and dealt with injuries throughout the year, something that did not let him settle his feet and he never really got going.
However, he managed to complete a stretch of games of at least 110 yards in five consecutive appearances, but things within the organization did not go as planned. He and front office had issues and with the addition of Josh Jacobs, he was unhappy with the situation and requested to be released, something that was granted and ultimately signed a new contract with NFC Northrival, the Minnesota Vikings.
