ALL DAY PETERSON

I wouldn't touch Blount, it's a reason NE letting him walk.

Which is?

[Brandon494]

Which is?

Im not Bill Belichick so couldn't tell you

they do that with everyone though. bennett is the latest.

[pbmax]

I thought you had heard rumors he was stealing puppies or something.

Belichick letting him go might be no more than acquiring someone similar at a better price. Or the fact that he has a lot of back under contract if Lewis is healthy.

[Brandon494]

I still think AP is the better running back and it's not like we can afford to pay him an extra MIL or two.

[pbmax]

I just think with AP back there teams will know its a run. They aren't going to pass to him often and they don't want to trust him to pass block for other routes.

Its like herschel walker to the Vikings. Great running back, wrong system.

[red]

or if you can get him for 3 or 4 million and make him fit what you're already doing. if he can't do that, then its not like you're out a ton of money. and if he can change and pick up the system, then you might have another offensive weapon

IF......

he even has anything left in the tank and if he's even willing to play for 3 or 4 million

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm not opposed to signing him. He's not a great pass protector. In fact, he's below average, but I don't think he's as bad as he's made out to be. He was 29th out of 54 qualifying RBs in pass protection from 2012-2014. Not sure where he ended up in 2015, but he was coming off an injury and was learning a new system when he struggled early. He's not a terrible receiver either. He's not going to by Ty Montgomery, but he's dangerous in the screen game and on dump offs. I think this is overblown. Yes, Montgomery would be the third down RB, but it's not like the Packers would have to run every time Peterson is in the game.

[Bretsky]

I would LOVE it if Ted Thompson went against his norm and signed All Day Peterson; dude still has talent, and we certainly have money. He'd give us a threat we have not had since Ahman Green.

Add Peterson for 5 MIL on a 1 Year Deal, use him with Monty.....and draft a speed back (Maybe a scat).....

P.S. I don't care either way on Michael.

[Teamcheez1]

32 year old RB at $5M a year? Never gonna happen. I would guess he may get $3M - $4M with incentives if that.

[Pugger]

NO way ever would I give him 6m heading into a RB rich draft. He is 32.....thats like 224 in dog and RB years.

No kidding. Let somebody else overpay a declining RB who can't pick up a blitz to save his rear.

[Pugger]

I wouldn't touch Blount, it's a reason NE letting him walk.

And there is a reason MN let Peterson leave too.

[3irty1]

I'd go as high as 5M with modest guarantees for AP on merit. Add a 5M bonus if he run out the superbowl tunnel in MN this year! Can't put a price on the chance to twist that knife.

Last time he had nothing in the tank he almost won the MVP. I don't care much that he can't catch and really don't care that he's been poor in pass protection. He's never had anyone worth protecting

[Rutnstrut]

That is what the Pat's do. With that reasoning the Packers shouldn't have signed Bennett either.
