We fix our line and all our running backs get much more effective
I wouldn't give AP a look personally
But wouldn't be mad if one day I look up and he's signed for a 1 year deal

AP isn't going to come here for a 1 year $3 million deal. He's going to want to get paid even though he has an advanced age for a RB.
You'd probably have to give him $8-10 million a year minimum.

I don't think he's that good anymore. The few games he played in the last couple of years, he averaged 1.8/yards/carry behind a Vikings line that, while not good; is better than what we are gonna throw out there on the field this year.

AP has to have a fullback in front of him, just like Hill. While we have a pretty good fullback in Tyler, I wouldn't give AP any more than a 1 yr deal on the cheap. And if we get one of the better running backs in the draft, I'd pass altogether on the old guy with the repaired knees...

I have a hunch AP will soon retire to a pain clinic for retired running backs.
