Bucs have "aggressive plan" to trade for AP

Almost 30 or not Peterson is a pure stud.. I don't understand why people think that you somehow become a bum once you hit 30

 

It's not that once you hit 30 you become a dud or anything.  The NFL is tough on RBs, and AP has a lot of mileage on his wheels.  Will he continue to be able to hold up for a few more years?  Compare 25 year old Deangelo (his 1500 yard season) to the last couple of years.  Injuries add up.

 

AP has been an absolute beast his career, but as any RB approaches 30, their good years dry up very quickly.

Ya'll know damn well if we could get AP for a 4th, A FREAKIN' 4th round pick you'd be all over it. He's still the best back in the league and spelling time with an oft injured J-Stew is a great back-field. Only thing I wouldn't like is the contract.

I'm remembering another time when a certain team had an 'aggressive plan' to trade for a star runningback.

Herschel something :unsure:

 

Just talked to my family Up Nort. Mixed feelings about this up der you betcha.

 

Want him back, but also want karmic justice for Herschel Walker by reversing that deal on someone else.

No doubt he is still a great running back.  If the Bucs were trying to win now, it might make some sense. But the Bucs were the worst team in the league.  They need to be looking a couple of years down the road, instead of who will help us now.  And it a couple of years, Peterson will be nearing retirement.

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

it would change nothing for us. Our game plan is, has been, and always will be stop the run. We have stopped him before. I need to see this Bucs team before I get scared of them.

      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.
