Adrian Peterson?

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

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
