Completely agree.This is a logical gamble according to Florio.
I agree with this. Peterson was a pipe dream. First, we had to hope the Vikings just release him. Second, we'd still have to back up a Brinks truck for him. If we were going to spend crazy money on a RB, I would have preferred to just resign Murray, who we knew would be successful behind this line, already knew the system and had chemistry.Peterson was never going to happen at the money he wants. If we let the league rushing leader walk at 27 yrs old we weren't going to trade for 30 yr old AP.
Definitely not the veteran RB I was hoping for. They better be right with whoever they draft because McFadden is way too unreliable from a health standpoint.Ugh, this is pointless unless this is basically a flier/training camp looksee for the league minimum. I would've rather gone with someone like Ridley.
It all depends on the structure of the contract. If it's for cheap, yeah I agree, as well. If it's 3-4 mill per, I do not.Completely agree.
Yea, but it would've been nice to get a vet who had better than a 50/50 chance at best of seeing the field due to injury history.This is not the end game...we've all wanted a veteran back to be added and now we have one. No problem with the deal.
Spiller comes to mind.Yea, but it would've been nice to get a vet who had better than a 50/50 chance at best of seeing the field due to injury history.
We could've done much better than this.
Fucking moron.
Ian = idiot
Spiller and Bush would both bring the same element to the offense and while they both have injury history too, they at least play and contribute.Spiller comes to mind.
Thought the exact same thing when I saw that.

I lot of folks didnt get that however.Peterson was never going to happen at the money he wants. If we let the league rushing leader walk at 27 yrs old we weren't going to trade for 30 yr old AP.
No, if anything it will make the comp pick higher. We replaced Murray leaving with a (hopefully) cheap contract.Do we lose a compensatory pick now?
