When he signed with the Minnesota Vikings this March, running back Aaron Jones had one thing on his mind: revenge.
His former team, the Green Bay Packers, decided to move on from him after Jones chose not to accept a pay cut for the second consecutive season. They instead signed Josh Jacobs to essentially the same contract that Jones signed.
Josh Jacobs throws major shade at Packers
Once Jones knew he was being released, he made a beeline for the Vikings and they signed him to a one year contract worth up to $7 million. He also spoke about wanting to experience U.S. Bank Stadium and the SKOL chant as a member of the Vikings.
On Wednesday, Jacobs spoke to the media and decided to pour gasoline on the fire of the Vikings/Packers rivalry by renaming the Lambeau Leap and calling it the Bank Vault.
"Yeah, that's what I was referring to when I get in, gonna be the bank vault. Bank is open on Sunday"
That's a brilliant use of wordplay by Jones, who used the Lambeau Leap on numerous occasions as a member of the Packers. He nearly got a chance to do it against the San Francisco 49ers but linebacker Fred Warner stripped the ball from him at the three-yard line.
Jones will get a chance to do it again on Sunday against the Houston Texans and will travel to Lambeau Field next week for the first time as a visitor.
