The setback of Green Bay Packers Aaron Jones is expected to be the best fullback in the free agency market when the new league year begins next month.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, when Jones hits the market, the Miami Dolphins will be one of the teams chasing him.

According to the report, Jones’ interest with the Dolphins is among the teams he would consider signing with this off-season

The Dolphins started five different runners in the backfield last season, with Myles Gaskin being the most productive. Gaskin had 584 yards last year and carried three touchdowns at 142 yards. Gaskin also got 41 passes for 388 yards and two touchdowns. Salvon Ahmed was second in the team with 319 yards and three touchdowns on 75 runs.

Jones is coming off a second consecutive 1,000-yard season in Green Bay with a career-best 1,104 yards in 2020. A productive rush attack could be a good boost for Tua Tagovailoa as he enters his second season in the NFL as the suspected team of the team -time appetizer. Gaskin had a great season for Miami, but Jones would be a major addition to the backfield.

The free agency is still a few weeks away and Jones should have several teams interested in his services.
