Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is cooking during free agency.
After having a big day on Monday where they agreed to terms with three defensive players in the front seven and quarterback Sam Darnold, the Vikings agreed to terms with former Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones on a one-year, $7 million contract. This came after it was reported on Monday night that both sides were having constructive dialogue.
The running back position is one that desperately needed to be addressed and they did just that on a very smart contract. Twitter was set ablaze with the news around 7:30 a.m. CT and fans from both sides were vocal about it.

Aaron Jones really pulled the Brett Favre on us. Hate that it had to be this way.

I would be very excited about Aaron Jones and less excited but still feel positively about Joe Mixon.
