Lions sign 108 year old Adrian Peterson

[Lance Uppercut]

 

[HammerDown]

You got his age wrong, Rock.

He turns 73 in October.

 

[gobigred]

He obviously doesn’t care about winning very many games

One year is 3 RB years.

 

[Meebs]

It makes sense, when you have the opportunity to take carries from your 2 early round draft picks for an over the hill rb you have to take it.

 

[White Knight]

Yes, he's an oldie but a goody.

 

[Mcnabb7542]

How does he get signed a day after being cut and Fornette is still sitting out there?

I think he signed with TB a few days ago

Fournette signed with the Bucs

So Swift starts after halftime of the first game because AP has suffered his season ending injury by then.

 

[Nosferatu]

I am happy for him, he's got a chance at a ring now....

 

[Lance Uppercut]

his last 31 games

462 carries
1,940 yards
12 TD
4.2 per

37 catches
350 yards
9.5 per
1 TD

not bad for an old man

 

[The Derski]

Watch him still go for 150 yards and 2TDs against the Pack.

Swift has an injury. Not sure when we will see him. Might be a few weeks. We will be running even more this year so extra RBs are a must.

Also Scarbrough got moved to IR, so the need was more than I was thinking. Especially with Keryon's injury history. It is not impossible that Lions will be down to Peterson and Ty Johnson in short order, which is not at all where I expected to be.

Yup. Even Agnew will have to take some reps at RB

 

[SoonerC]

Generational talent who would be on the verge of owning all the records if not for injuries and an idiot commissioner.
