Aaron Jones Sr. News
Wednesday, March 11, 11:00 AM
The Minnesota Vikings and running back Aaron Jones Sr. agreed to a revised contract on Wednesday to keep him in town for the 2026 season, sources told the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jones will lower his base salary to $5.5 million to stay with the Vikings for one more season. Minnesota was getting ready to release the 31-year-old veteran at the start of the new league year before this contract restructure. Jones battled injuries throughout the 2025 season and was limited to 12 games, finishing with 132 carries (his lowest total since his rookie season in 2017 with the Green Bay Packers) for 548 yards and two touchdowns. He added 28 catches for 199 yards and another TD on 41 targets. Jones should be able to bounce back with better health in 2026, but the Vikings might also prefer to give backfield mate Jordan Mason a bigger workload in an effort to keep Jones healthy. There's also the possibility of the Vikes adding to the RB room via the NFL draft in April.

Cam Skattebo News
Friday, March 13, 2:11 PM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 617 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns on 125 touches across the first eight weeks of the season. Unfortunately for Skattebo and the Giants, the 24-year-old suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8 that cut his rookie campaign short. On the bright side, Skattebo is expected to make a full recovery and should be a full participant in Giants training camp. Skattebo currently projects as the RB1 in New York heading into 2026, although fellow back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will certainly warrant some touches as well. However, the Giants have been linked to University of Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, who is widely considered the number one prospect at the position in the 2026 NFL Draft. If the Giants do indeed select Love, Skattebo's dynasty stock would take a major hit. Assuming New York does not make a major addition at running back, Skattebo looks well-positioned to establish himself as a workhorse back in 2026.
