The #Redskins are hosting veteran RB Adrian Peterson, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. The Pro Bowler is an intriguing option for Washington.
The gas tank is empty.

showing signs of being much slower, I'd rather have Gallman or Martin.
I dont love it  
mattlawson : 8/19/2018 3:45 pm : link
Hopefully hes close to the 18th green if they sign him
When Peterson was in the draft I was petrified ...  
Boy Cord : 8/19/2018 3:48 pm : link
... the Skins would take him. I think they went with Laron Landry.
The Skins have gotten lucky over the years

in older RBs, such as Earnest Byner and Terry Allen. However, Peterson is done. Think closer to Shaun Alexander finishing his career in Washington with a fork firmly implanted in his back.
Damn Charles, AP the Skins literally aren't leaving any stone unturned

Is OJ out if jail yet?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 8/19/2018 5:21 pm : link
He's done.
Redskins are injured and thin  
PEEJ : 8/19/2018 5:22 pm : link
at RB.
how about  
uther99 : 8/19/2018 5:52 pm : link
we trade them Stewart?
Orleans Darkwa and Jamaal Charles visiting also.  
MOOPS : 8/19/2018 5:53 pm : link
Darkwa is probably their best bet.
Both parties are desperate.

Not surprising
AP May in Fact Be Done...  
Jim in Tampa : 8/20/2018 9:09 am : link
But I also remember in 2016 when the Skins signed Vernon Davis, most everyone on this board (including one of the posters on this thread) said that Davis was "done".

Since then Davis has caught 113 passes for 1,231 yds.

Correction...

Davis has caught 87 total passes the last two years, not 113. (I was reading the wrong column.)

The total yards are still accurate...1,231 with an average ypc of 14.1.
losing Guice was a major blow to their RB group

I'm not so sure AP is done.  
Keith : 8/20/2018 9:30 am : link
He was a terrible fit in NO, but when he went to Arizon, he looked pretty damn good. Then he got hurt again. He seems to be very injury prone, but if he can stay healthy, he can still produce.
Its the Redskins  
AnyoneButPhilly : 8/20/2018 9:36 am : link
I'm surprised they didn't sign him sight unseen.

Greg from LI : 8/20/2018 9:48 am : link
Yes, the Redskins have some good history with veteran RBs, but Earnest Byner was a year younger than Peterson when he left the Redskins, and Terry Allen was three years younger.

This is ALMOST like fast-forwarding in real time, or so it seems.  
Big Blue '56 : 8/20/2018 9:53 am : link
We all know and have seen how it all ends, but damn, it truly feels like yesterday that AP set the league on fire as a rookie and now, hes hoping to catch on somewhere. Kinda sad albeit expected
I think people are forgetting what AP was able to do in  
Keith : 8/20/2018 9:57 am : link
Arizona last year. Not sure if anyone watched, but he still had something left in the tank until he hurt his neck. He did get banged up a bit, but he had a few beastly games for them. People seemed to write him off after the NO debacle, but that wasn't the end of the season for him.

#Redskins are signing RB Adrian Peterson, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Peterson embarks on his 12th NFL season with his fourth team. Needs 37 rushing yards to pass Jim Brown and crack the top 10 all time. Can do it quickly in Washington.
Pretty sure he could get 37 yards quickly anywhere

Not with the Olines the Giants have brought out the last 6 years.

Last year Darkwa rushed for 751 yds and Gallman had 476 yds behind that Giants OL...but you don't think AP could get 37 yds?

Can we please stop using the OL as an excuse for EVERYTHING?
