The Minnesota Vikings appear to have changed their approach to the running back position.

A year after cutting Dalvin Cook, the Vikings signed Aaron Jones in free agency to bolster the position this month.

"We get the conversation about running backs and age and different things like that," general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said. "Maybe that dynamic has gone a little too far to the other side, and teams are realizing that there are still really good players at their value. It's a position where we can really upgrade performance pretty efficiently. We're excited to have him."

Jones landed a one-year, $7 million deal with Minnesota.
