I'd rather get Jamaal Charles for vet minimum, plus incentives if he plays a full 16 game season.
Charles should be interested in joining NY with only Paul Perkins as his competition for the starting RB job. RB core of Charles\Perkins and Shane Vereen on 3rd downs would be a great trio.
He is not remotely as good as he was in his prime but he may still want to break the bank.
We need a cohesive locker-room where everyone respects our young head-coach. PASS.
He doesn't have a injury of significant injury, and has more TD's than both Peterson and Charles combined over the last two years. He shouldn't cost us as much either.

As for the 'Well, the child abuse charges are a huge impediment' crowd...agreed, but if he was 2012 AP, lots of teams would overlook that & make a run after him.
but do agree he would be worth it at a certain price. I would say his price tag is the #1 reason why he is still on the market, maybe the other stuff too, but I'm guessing he's shooting a little too high.
but I have come around a little with the addition of Ellison. If he comes CHEAP, I would consider it. All we heard last year was that the opposing defenses were sitting back in zone and daring the Giants to run. Do you think they still do that with Adrian Peterson back there? If so, I think he can still be somewhat effective against boxes that are not stacked, even with this line. I would consider it.
