Bucs have "aggressive plan" to trade for AP

"According to a league source close to the situation, the Bucs have had internal discussions of trading for Peterson. Whether the pursuit for the veteran tailback has already occurred or will occur, no clear answer was given. Instead, I was told there are "aggressive" plans in place."

As I have mentioned before, it would be scary to have to face an offense consisting of Jameis Winston, Adrian Peterson, Mike Evans, and Vincent Jackson. Let's hope this doesn't happen.

And please James Winston is hot garbage.

He's almost thirty and has NEVER ran for mor than 80 yards on us..

1. We'll see about that lol I beg to differ

2. Peterson never ran for 80 against us on poo cheese teams with no weapons but he. In Tampa we'd have to worry about vincent and evans or we could easily get burned in the passing game if we focus all attention on ap. Those play actions in Tampa could be very lethal with that personnel

Ehhhh. If he can keep it together off the field, Winston could be pretty good.

 

The one thing I will say though, is going to the Bucs isn't ideal. Lovie Smith's track record with QB's is pretty awful.

Yeah, but he had Jay "coach killer" Cutler, Sexy Rexy (who he got to a SB), and Kyle Orton...

 

But this is why you give Lovie a bunch of pieces on the offense...and say go show you mastery of the defense by doing more with less...

i know it was awhile ago, but in 09 we smashed em with Matt Moore and they had a playmaking offense and was in the NFC Championship game that year... AP had 35 yards against us...just saying that the Vikings have made the playoffs a few times that AP has been on that team, once even with Joe Webb as QB (when Ponder got hurt)

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
