[Boiler_Colt]

tampa isnt a party town. its more laid back. miami is the party town

 

Isn't there no State Income tax in Florida or something like that? Maybe he just doesn't like paying taxes

That is correct there is no state income tax in Florida.  

[Colts_Fan12]

That is correct there is no state income tax in Florida.

or Texas either is there

hide your kids.

[csmopar]

Could you imagine if the Colts got AP and Andre Johnson or Brandon Marshall. Man I would flip.

Still doesn't help our lack of run defense

[Dark Superman]

We will address the run defense.. I'm hoping NGata becomes available.. Maybe even look at a guy like Greg Hardy. Time will tell..

I would take AP because we need a game changer at RB. The. Spend the rest of money on defense and defense only!!

No, it wouldn't, nor would it be meant to.

Nah, just his kids. And I think the courts did that already.

[Superman]

Chargers are probably parting ways with Mathews... plus it's San Diego.. nice weather, good beaches, good nightlife, plenty of trees with flexible branches for whippin'.

 

Probably Donald Brown, too. It would be a really good fit.

[csmopar]

No, it wouldn't, nor would it be meant to.

my point it, I think we'd be investing far too much for a 30 yr running back that comes with a huge price tag, roughly 15 to 20 million? Yeah its AP, but I think we have too many holes holding us back.

Not sure where you get that figure from.

 

I'm not excited about the prospect, so I get that. But I don't think adding AP would prevent us from upgrading other areas of the team.

All depends on how we would want to restructure his contract.

I was listening to 1010 this morning and they mentioned AP was due a 16 million dollar contract plus 4 mil bonus for 2105 if he played with Vikings, at least thats what I thought they said.

I always thought AD wasn't human and if he's still playing in 2105 I think it'd safe to say I was right.

I still think we need a WR and a guard. But yes, defense is our main priority.

He's due $13m in salary, as his contract currently stands. So those numbers are way off. His cap hit, if he stays with the Vikings with no restructure, is $15.4m, but if he's traded, they have a cap penalty of $2.4m, and the other $13m goes to his new team.

 

Of course, the article in the OP says he'd be willing to restructure if he's traded to any of these five teams named. So the $13m is probably irrelevant also.

Gotcha. Still what would you pay for a 30 yr old RB?

[COLTS449]

Why the hell would he wanna go to TB lol

 

I wondered the same thing, but I'm guessing he see's them as a team on the rise since they're getting Winston. He probably thinks him running the ball and Winston at QB could turn Tampa around into a playoff contender.

[Superman]

I have little to no interest in a 30 year old RB, personally. I might be out of touch with reality, but I think the Colts' front office and coaching staff feels the same way.

[ProblChld32]

Im not willing to give up an Arm and a Leg for an aging Adrian Peterson 

[southwest1]

It would have to be a team on the cusp of a Superbowl with enough cap room. Dallas can't even afford to pay Murray, and what ever the cost would be on AP's contract would exceed whatever they would have to pay for Murray so they're out.

 

I like Arizona a lot, but they're releasing guys like Dockett to save cap room so they're out.

 

San Diego works because they have the cap room and could be a legit Superbowl contender depending on how their off-season goes.

 

I don't see Tampa Bay because they are years away from being a contender

 

Don't see Colts as an option because they'll be stretched for cap room this and next off-season because of who they might sign and who they'll have to give new contracts to.

I agree 100% with this post Defjam26. AP would be perfect in San Diego with Philip Rivers an instant playoff team. I don't like him for INDY given his age & that AP looks for contact vs avoiding it on most of his runs. 

 

If it involves trading T-Rich, than ok. 

 

Don't give up any draft picks. 

Preach Lolly preach! Draft picks are too valuable to give up on a seasoned back. No matter how incredible AP is.

Im agree with you there.

[aaron11]

true but I'd rather go to the jags then TB honestly

why?  the bucs actually have some decent talent on the roster and tampa is a much cooler city than jville. ive spent time in both cites and tampa wins hands down

[jvan1973]

Isn't there no State Income tax in Florida or something like that? Maybe he just doesn't like paying taxes

who does?

[ColtsLegacy]

true but I'd rather go to the jags then TB honestly

Why? Both the Bucs and Fins are infinitely better choices. Especially the Bucs, they're on the upswing. I think with Winston and the offensive weapons they could be like the 2012 Colts lite.

[Warhorse]

Being whipped as a small child until you are welting and bleeding, including your boy parts, while your mouth is gagged...is not tough parenting....it is abuse and torture to a wee one. The fact that he has had no contrition, only stating that was the way he was raised and he did what he has learned, is disturbing, revealing, and indicative of a lack of accountability.  

 

I seriously hope that the Colts front office makes no attempt to sign this player. 

[HtownColt]

If I was a RB I would love to play for Pep Hamilton. He keeps them involved in all phases

[schwamm]

Could you imagine if the Colts got AP and Andre Johnson or Brandon Marshall. Man I would flip.

Could you imagine we get them both for "the right price", only they both turn out to be shells of their former selves... Man I would flip.

[chad hugo]

Would the vikings accept a trade for werner + 3rd or 4th round pick for AP ? I mean he's a young up and coming LB and he does show potential at times...

[BetterThanYou]

We need to spend our money on defense, so that we can show that those jerks in New England aren't who everybody thinks they are. I don't know about you guys, but I am sick and tired of being pushed around by those posers. Don't worry about the offense, as long as 12 is on our side, our offense will do great things. We need to add some nastiness on defense, guys who won't be pushed around. Enough is enough. It's time to take it to the Patriots, and show them what it REALLY takes to be champions.

[jseg18]

Maybe Broncos pick up AP after pay cut.

"...we'll just take the 3rd rounder" - Vikings

[Narcosys]

he has 7 kids and baby mommies. I doubt hes the laid back type

Well that's not judgmental at all. A guy that has custody of 3 kids and a wife probably isn't going to go partying a lot. Especially now with what age his kids are.

[MTC]

Would rather have Todd Gurley.

[John Waylon]

I'm a fan. He could gain yards no matter how bad our line is. If the price is right, yes.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Would be interested but not at redickulous money!

[BOTT]

tampa isnt a party town. its more laid back. miami is the party town

Maybe not a party town, but it's definitly strip club USA

Hopefully the colts have zero interest.....unless he accepts cheapo deal
