turtle28 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/02/05/washington-has-had-preliminary-contract-talks-with-adrian-peterson/ The team has had “ preliminary talks” with the running back about a return for 2019, John Keim of ESPN reports. He ended up with his first 1,000-yard season since 2015 with 1,042 yards and averaged 4.2 yards per carry. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/02/06/derrius-guice-posts-sprinting-video/ Guice posted a video of himself sprinting at full speed that was captioned with “we working with fire.” Guice tore his ACL in early August during the first quarter of the team’s first exhibition game of the year. The injury led Washington to sign Adrian Peterson to their roster. The veteran went on to run 251 times for 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns as the team’s lead back.

Thaiphoon Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hopefully only like a 2 year deal with a 3rd option. This way we can find out if Guice is ready to go this season and then gradually ease MVP out after 2020. Or if Guice is not ready we ride MVP for the next few years until Guice is ready or we get another stud RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARROTHEAD Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Guice is no more a sure thing than Fournette at this point. Bringing more youth in should be a priority, much like kicking out the lowlife child abuser to try in lure fans back should be. Later rounds will have RBs. That can be on rookie, late round contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see everywhere people acting like hes already a Pro Bowl RB or the most sure a bet as theres ever been coming out the draft. With a nice class coming out, more youth can only help. Late round guy like Trayveon Williams from A&M. He carried 35 times against a great LSU D with success. 35 times! Id like to see a workhorse like that brought in, instead of a 34 yo waste of a roster spot which QBs and backups outgained with less carries in several games.

bigdog44 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes he had a strong year and definitely earned a deal but I would definitely make it a contract the team could easily get out of after next season. The main reason is only because they have too many holes to fill and not enough draft picks/cap space to fill them all. The inevitable will happen and he’ll break down at some point. AP can definately help in easing Guice in but after next season should be gone with a rookie to partner up with Guice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARROTHEAD Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Colts 11 rushes 20 yards... 2nd on the team in rushing Saints 4 rushes 6 yards... 4th on team Falcons 9 for 17... 4th on team Bucs 19 for 68 Texans 16 for 51 Cowboys 12 for 35 Giants 10 for 16 Jags 19 for 51 Eagles 4 for 0 He had 3 or 4 decent games. Even against the Cards he adv less than 4ypc though near 100 yards. We dont have to waste a roster spot on him when youth can be brought in. Especially with that production. Its better to fill that role with a 21 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't even have enough spots for the guys we had last year until they all got hurt except Bibbs. We have CT, Guice, Perine and Marshall and it seems almost certain we’ll re-sign Peterson.

Two things: 1) Remember, he was doing it behind a very banged up OL (and one that had a weak link at LG and blocking TE on Week 1) 2) His veteran leadership in terms of how to approach a particular play, etc... is also valuable. It was no surprise that when the others got in there, after watching MVP do his thing, that they hit the correct holes and were not timid like they had been in previous years. That's valuable. A RB corps of MVP, Guice, CT, rookie draft pick would be good to have. I see your point in going youth. But I don't want to do that since we have Guice already. We need the 1st and 2nd down back to have some cachet. Especially since Guice was injured all last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they draft a RB in the early or mid rounds and I don’t think a late round RB would beat out Perine or Marshall. We’ll probably keep 4 RBs again if we re-sign Peterson. Now, if we don’t re-sign Peterson I can see us drafting a 5th round back or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
