I would go up to $8 million assuming we are able to still get decent OL help and keep Patterson.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Two surgically repaired knees.
Has lost a step, or two... gets caught from behind now
Ball security issues
Can't pass protect, making him a 2-down back.
Has lost his elusiveness... no "squirt through the hole", if you will
32 years old
$2 million, tops. Use him situationally. Not a workhorse anymore.

$5-$6 million sounds reasonable
Re: How much would you pay for AP to come back for 1 year?
Just curious what kind of season do you think he is capable of if we resigned him for $6 million guaranteed? How many yds and ypc?S197 wrote:$5-$6 million sounds reasonable

I would cut them a check to *not* re-sign him.720pete wrote: Just curious what kind of season do you think he is capable of if we resigned him for $6 million guaranteed? How many yds and ypc?
I want more than yds/ypc. I want blocks. Receptions. Play fakes. Proper route running. Knowing the playbook. etc etc etc.
If they can't find that with whomever is replacing him, it still means they'll most likely be forced to try and find that guy sooner rather than later.
Re: How much would you pay for AP to come back for 1 year?
Depends on a lot of factors like the line but I don't see why he can't be a 1,200 - 1,300 yard back.720pete wrote: Just curious what kind of season do you think he is capable of if we resigned him for $6 million guaranteed? How many yds and ypc?
Re: How much would you pay for AP to come back for 1 year?
I voted 2 mil mainly because I'm ready to move on but if we are keeping him then it needs to be a bargain.

Pay him a couple of camels?
Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter
Re: How much would you pay for AP to come back for 1 year?
I voted that I wouldn't resign him. He's just too one dimensional and the speed that made him a future HOFer isn't there anymore. He's not very good catching the ball and a nightmare in pass protection. When he's on the field they're either running or playing 10 versus 11.
If they were to resign him I believe the team would feel pressure to again make him a focus of the offense to the detriment of the passing game. I loved his years here, but I'm ready to move on.

I don't think he will have more than 600 yards this season, but it will be interesting to see what happens.S197 wrote: Depends on a lot of factors like the line but I don't see why he can't be a 1,200 - 1,300 yard back.

Re: How much would you pay for AP to come back for 1 year?
I truly hope we don't bring him back as sad as it is to say that. We need to get younger. It seems like Spielman is looking at durability which I'm glad to see. That's what we got in both tackles. Murray is fairly durable although I still think we will draft a RB. There is no need anymore for AP in this system. We aren't a ground a pound team and run primarily out of the gun. We need to move on

With the right team I could see him having a great season or left in the tank.720pete wrote: I don't think he will have more than 600 yards this season, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
