Packers Keeping Running Back Options Open
Packers Keeping Running Back Options Open

... obviously someone we have great respect for, obviously playing him the number of times that we have, but we’re trying to improve our offense all the time,” Mc Carthy said. “So as far as what’s going on, we don’t really discuss those things publicly, but you know, I think it’s obvious if you look at our depth chart. We have two running backs on our depth chart - two healthy running backs - so we’re going to have more running backs. I don’t know when they’re going to get there, but we will have more running backs come the middle of May - I can promise you that.”. One thing that could work against a possible Peterson fit with the Packers is his inability to play on third down. Because Mc Carthy uses the no-huddle system extensively, he wants running backs who can pass protect on third downs so that he doesn’t have to slow down the pace of the offense to make substitutions. “I think ...



Adrian Peterson Is In Exile
Adrian Peterson Is In Exile

... make a perfect example of how the current collective bargaining agreement is screwing players over , with rookies hogtied to below-market deals and quality veterans offered nothing but de facto one-year contracts. But this is Adrian Peterson, and so it’s more complicated than that. Adrian Peterson is the greatest running back in my team’s history. NO ONE DENIES THIS. In fact, he is probably the best (excuse the cliché) pure runner I’ve ever seen. Maybe your tastes lean toward Barry Sanders, or Walter Payton, or Jim Brown, or Bo Jackson, and I’m not here to start a bar argument. If you have a different GOAT, that’s fine. Peterson couldn’t block, or catch, or work out of the shotgun, or hold onto the ball, or restrain himself from whipping a child in the gonads. But goddamn, could he run. And, despite his age and injury history, perhaps he still can. Peterson is not like ordinary running backs who flame out after a few seasons and then get consigned to the curb. He has rushed for over 970 yards and 10 TDs in eight of his 10 seasons. He rushed for over 2,000 yards and won the MVP after tearing his ...

... There are also a few notable free agents left on the market. Here are all the latest news and rumors you need to know. Browns Hosting Dalvin Cook. The Browns appear to at least have some level of interest in Florida State RB Dalvin Cook, as they're bringing him in for a visit. No, entire team should boycott. Let each player decide on own. — Ian Rapoport (@Rap Sheet) April 3, 2017. It's an interesting move, since the Browns have Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson already on the roster. There's no chance the Browns take Cook at No. 1 overall and even No. 12 seems early given the current roster outlook. But perhaps the Browns are doing their work in the event off-the-field problems cause Cook to slide to the second round. It appears the Browns are high on Cook. Mike Williams Latest. The former Clemson star will be one of the ...



Great Respect’ For Adrian Peterson
Great Respect’ For Adrian Peterson

... look at our depth chart, I mean we have two running backs on our depth chart – two healthy running backs. So we’re going to have more running backs.”. RELATED:  Thompson on free-agency gains, losses. Asked whether Peterson would be a good fit with the Packers, Mc Carthy said, "I think the world of Adrian. I think he’s obviously a great player, a Hall of Fame player. I got a chance to be around him not only competing against him twice a year, but at the Pro Bowls. He’s a class act, and we’ll just see how it shakes out.". The Packers are left with a thin running back depth chart after releasing 31-year-old James Starks and watching 2013 second-round pick Eddie Lacy sign with the Seattle Seahawks. Lacy’s time in Green Bay started with much promise. He was a Pro Bowler as a rookie, rushed for more than 1,100 yards in each of his first two years. Then weight and conditioning issues derailed his 2015 season, and a renewed commitment off the field ended with ankle surgery that placed him on injured reserve five games into last season. Mc Carthy suggested part of Lacy’s ...



Peterson Leaves Pats With No Deal
Peterson Leaves Pats With No Deal

... 37 times for 72 yards last season, returning in less than three months from his injury to play against the Colts on Dec. 18. However, he sat out the Vikings' final two games because of an adductor strain he suffered in his first game back. Peterson, whose career rushing yards rank second to Frank Gore among active players, has failed to eclipse 40 carries in two of the past three seasons because of suspension and injuries. Even with his league-leading 1,485 rushing yards in 2015, and factoring in his receiving totals, Peterson cost the Vikings about $18,000 per yard over the last three years. Since recovering from ACL reconstruction on his left knee to rush for 2,097 yards in 2012 and win the NFL MVP award, Peterson has defied the evidence that running backs wear down by age 30. He has long said he believes he can play deep into his 30 s. ESPN's Ben ...



Cris Carter Says Vikings Let Adrian Peterson Go Because Of His 'expiration Date
Cris Carter Says Vikings Let Adrian Peterson Go Because Of His 'expiration Date

... almost certainly apply that rule to the Adrian Peterson situation in Minnesota. And it appears that former Vikings star Cris Carter would agree. Carter, speaking to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press , said that Peterson was past his “expiration date” and that’s why the Vikings decided to move on. More NFL Draft. Rang’s Mock Draft. “I didn’t think (Peterson) would finish his career with the Vikings,’ Carter said. “If you look at the number of times he’s been injured the last couple of years and then also the price, what’s going to be your price point? Eventually, everybody has an expiration date, including Adrian. I think the Vikings have gone about it the right way. …. “I’m sure Adrian wanted to play for something significant [in salary].”. The money factor can’t be underrated here. Peterson was set to make $18 million in 2017 but the Vikings declined a team option to pick up that salary , because it’s wholly out of whack with the current running back market. Peterson is a future Hall of Fame back, a dominant runner who is one of the best backs the NFL has ever seen. But he’s on the wrong side of 30 ...
