00:00 Aaron Jones isn't going all that far. He remains in the division. Diana Roussini of the Athletic
00:09 and only the Athletic reporting in the last five minutes Donnie that Aaron Jones is going
00:14 to Minnesota. He will be the new running back for the Vikings who of course released Alexander
00:18 Madison earlier this offseason. A big move for the Vikes that will have to answer a quarterback
00:24 question as Kirk Cousins is now in Atlanta. They signed Sam Darnold to a one-year 10 million dollar
00:30 deal yesterday and as I said before I think they are using that first round pick on a QB. I think
00:36 his name is going to be J.J. McCarthy and I'm not sure they even remain at 11th overall. I think
00:42 Minnesota makes a move up. I like this move here for two reasons. Number one you're getting a
00:46 quality running back. He probably got about a discounted price as well. We don't have the
00:50 financials that came out just yet and also familiarity with the guy so obviously you see
00:54 him a couple times a year. You think he still has some gas left in the tank as Ben and I just
00:57 talked about. He looks really good down the stretch last year. Now some would say like well this is a
01:01 franchise in a little bit of turmoil right now not knowing who the quarterback is going to be.
01:05 Do you know a great landing spot for a quarterback would be with an offensive guru that they have at
01:09 head coach with maybe the best wide receiver in football. You play in a dome and now handoff and
01:15 have a ground game behind you with Aaron Jones. That's a perfect selling point for a young
01:19 quarterback to come in and not like the Chicago Bears did with Justin Fields by saying we're not
01:23 going to give you anything. Matter of fact we're going to make it as hard on you as possible to be
01:27 a good quarterback in the NFL. It's great for the Minnesota Vikings. So if they're like oh no what
01:31 are we doing making wasting our money on running back here. I like some of the moves they made
01:34 yesterday but you need to have a competent offense around a young guy. I like this move for the bikes.
01:39 I do.
