Vikings urged to make bold offseason move for Aaron Jones replacement

One of the most worrisome parts of the Minnesota Vikings this season has been the disappointment in the running game.

The Vikings are averaging just 102.3 yards per game on the ground, ranking 24th in the NFL. Jordan Mason leads the team in rushing with 659 yards and six touchdowns. Right behind Mason in rushing are Aaron Jones (410 yards and one touchdown) and J.J. McCarthy (154 yards and three touchdowns).

In a season when Minnesota needed its running game most to help its young quarterback, it hasn't gone the way they wanted. That doesn't mean there isn't an easy solution to the problem that they can solve in the offseason.
