Returning Green Bay Packers Aaron Jones are expected to be the top returning agents in the free agent market when the new competition year kicks off next month.
According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, when Jones hits the market, the Miami Dolphins will be one of the teams to pursue him.
The report says interest is mutual with Jones with the Dolphins among the teams he would consider signing with this off-season
The Dolphins had five different runners in the backfield last season, with Myles Gaskin being the most prolific. Gaskin had 584 yards and three touchdowns on 142 transports 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 carriers.
Jones is coming off a second straight season at Green Bay with a best career of 1,104 yards in 2020. A prolific rushing offense could be a nice boost for Tua Tagovailoa as he enters his second season in the NFL as the presumably full squad of the team. time starter. Gaskin had a great season for Miami, but Jones would be an important addition to the backfield.
Free agency is still a few weeks away and Jones should have several teams interested in his services.
