I know random thread about a random free agent.. but I don’t see why they wouldn’t atleast kick the tires and see what kind of money he would command(not that much I imagine). He’s no longer the stud he was but,he could be that change of pace back we need behind CMC, a thumper that gets it done in the redzone and between the tackles. I think he has atleast one more season in him as he did put up some good games in Arizona... what say you?

Depends on price and whether he'd accept a role where he isn't the main guy--he was certainly frustrated in NO before getting trade and getting 25-30 carries/game in AZ. I also tend to think players like him actually NEED 20+ carries per game to get in a rhythm and have success. I'm not so sure he'd be great addition in a limited role. But I'd be open to it. He's definitely one of the all time greats and still has some run left in him. AZ's line was terrible, among the worst in the league last year, and Peterson still played extremely well there. And that was without a QB threat either and the only receiving threat being Fitz...

I'd rather just go into the season with cmc, cap, and whoever gets drafted. Too many other needs to address with the limited amount of cap space. 

I don’t understand the huddles obsession with cap. He is just a jag. He doesn’t have any dynamic traits. He’s not fast he’s not powerful he’s just a north south runner. He’s about 210 pounds not really a thumper.. I would rather see him not on the roster come the start of the season. 

 He can be upgraded apon. My whole point  was to fill a need and save a draft pick to fill other needs. I think a stopgap would be good. Ap is that. Now I’m not saying don’t draft a rb, but I would like to plug as many holes as I can before the draft so I’m not forced to draft a rb.

To be fair, CAP really hasn't gotten a fair shot in regular season games.  We don't know 100% whether he can contribute or not.  I lean towards YES he can, just based off the small sample size we have

AD has proven time and time again that you shouldn’t bet against him, and I won’t. That said, I really want us to have one year with cmc as the feature back. Idk why there’s this belief that we have to bring someone else in. Shadys the same weight

1) Yayyy another FA thread

2) I had no idea mccoy and CMC were essentially the same rate. Good fact

The Cardinals let him go.  The Saints let him go.  Minnesota let him go.

I love AP.  An amazing running back and a certain HOFer but it's over.  He might hit you one or two games of his old brilliance but for a 16 game season.   You are signing the name not the talent.

He's done. 

AP enjoy your 5 year break.   We'll see you on the 2022 HOF ballot

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
