(Eagan, MN) -- The Minnesota Vikings are poaching one of their rival's top offensive playmakers.

The Purple signed former Packers running back Aaron Jones to a one-year deal worth seven million dollars yesterday. Jones was released by Green Bay after the team signed Josh Jacobs to open up free agency on Monday. Jones rushed for 656 yards and two touchdowns in 11 starts for Green Bay last season.

In other team news, the Vikings re-signed wide receiver Brandon Powell and added quarterback Sam Darnold and kick John Parker Romo yesterday.
