Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is expected to be the best running back in the free agent market when the league’s new year begins next month.
According to Barry Jackson of Miami herald, when Jones hits the market, the Miami Dolphins will be one of the teams chasing him.
The report says Jones’ interest is mutual with the Dolphins among the teams he would consider signing this offseason.
The Dolphins had five different runners starting in the backfield last season, with Myles Gaskin being the most productive. Gaskin had 584 yards and three touchdowns on 142 carries last year. Gaskin also caught 41 passes for 388 yards and two touchdowns. Salvon Ahmed was second on the team with 319 yards and three touchdowns on 75 carries.
Jones has just won a second straight 1,000-yard season at Green Bay with a career-high 1,104 career yards in 2020. A productive running offense could be a big boost for Tua Tagovailoa as he enters his second season in the NFL as a full-time starter team presumption. Gaskin has had a great season for Miami but Jones would be an important addition to the backfield.
Free agency is still several weeks away and Jones should have several teams interested in his services.
