Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson has weighed in following a major announcement involving new division rival Aaron Jones, and his reaction is turning heads across the NFL landscape.
Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers’ longtime running back Aaron Jones officially signed with the Minnesota Vikings, a move that sent shockwaves through the NFC North. After spending seven productive seasons in Green Bay where he rushed for over 5,000 yards and earned Pro Bowl honors Jones’ decision to join a former rival stirred strong reactions across the league.
Jefferson, the face of the Vikings’ offense, didn’t take long to respond. Taking to social media shortly after the news broke, Jefferson posted a brief but telling message “Let’s work.” The post, accompanied by a photo of Jones in a Vikings uniform edit, quickly went viral among fans.
NFL officials and insiders interpreted Jefferson’s response as a clear show of support and excitement. While Jefferson has long been vocal about wanting to compete for a Super Bowl, his reaction suggests he sees Jones as a critical piece in helping Minnesota take the next step on offense.
With Kirk Cousins’ future uncertain and the Vikings undergoing a transitional phase, the addition of a veteran back like Jones gives the team an immediate boost in both leadership and versatility. Paired with Jefferson’s elite receiving skills and the emerging talent on Minnesota’s roster, the Vikings suddenly look like a team ready to reassert themselves in the NFC North race.
Aaron Jones, for his part, also expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity, saying in a statement: “I’m here to win. This is a fresh start, and I’m excited to line up with guys like Justin Jefferson.”
As training camp approaches, all eyes will be on how this new partnership unfolds and whether it can spark a postseason run in Minnesota.
