The Los Angeles Chargers are eyeing potential upgrades at the running back position. With J.K. Dobbins slated for free agency, the team's options may dwindle to Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins unless Dobbins is re-signed before then. Meanwhile, Aaron Jones is emerging as a compelling target for the Chargers, especially after a stellar season with the Minnesota Vikings where he posted career-high stats, including 1,138 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 255 carries.

However, signing Jones carries risks due to his age and injury history; he will turn 31 during the upcoming season and has only completed three full seasons over eight years. Despite this, Jones's consistent performance could fill the gap left by Dobbins should he depart. The verdict leans towards re-signing Dobbins or looking into this year's robust draft class for a fresher talent.
