Report: Vikings want to re-sign center Brett Jones

#Vikings want to re-sign center Brett Jones, who got into just 2 games last year due to being inactive & then a knee injury. Jones, who started 13 games in 2017 for Giants, plans to test the market in free agency to see if can join a team in which he can at least compete to start

That opportunity won’t be in Minnesota with 2019 first-round pick Garrett Bradbury ahead of him on the team’s depth chart.

Jones is 28 years old and has the ability to fill in at both center and guard. While he wouldn’t be a starter for the Vikings, he is a versatile player.

Per Spotrac, Jones has made more than $5 million during his six-year career, with $677,647 coming last season.
