Per Schefter, Bills expressed some level of interest in signing Adrian Peterson

[YoloinOhio]

That’s it, Beane officially calls about everyone 

 

  Quote

The Ravens were one of five NFL teams that expressed varying levels of interest in Peterson, who led the league in rushing three different times. The others were the Raiders, Bills, Falconsand Dolphins.

Not sure if I should be impressed or disgusted

Looked in to signing someone doesn't mean he called or offered a contract. Like someone saying...."There's a chance the Bills may have considered signing Peterson". It means nothing

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Heard at One Bills Drive:

"J**** C*****, now those jackals at TSW are kvetching about checking on Peterson's availability!  Hand me the phone, and check the CFL waiver wire!" 🤨

[DJB]

I've heard of him.

 

Fire Beane for not getting this done 

[Captain Hindsight]

Every NFL team has an “oh *****” list. Finding out one of the best RBs in NfL history, who actually played pretty well last season on a bad team, is a good thing

Not for nothing but

 

I’d say the Bills look at every player

That’s the old McDermott Bills.

 

Mike Tolbert, Chris Ivory, Frank Gore were all too old, and Adrian Peterson is beyond too old.

Jimmy Clausen?

Peterson never played for Carolina, no chance we were signing him!

I love Beane, he could be the GM who brings us a title, but he does have questionable taste in running backs. 

[RobbRiddick]

Sounds like Peterson had to beat all these interested teams off with a stick

Right. IMO, the Bills have one of the better pro personnel departments in the NFL  Beane is always thinking about how to make this team better - from the smallest addition to a major addition - and they do their due diligence on all available players across the league.

The Bills love old running backs- flies in the face of rational thinking...I just don’t get why it’s so hard for them to field a competent rushing attack...baffling actually...

The sad part is even at his advanced age he still would smoke both Singletary and Moss in a 40 yard race.  

[billsbackto81]

Although he's older AP is probably the closest comparable to Henry when it comes to speed and power. It might be a reach but maybe Beane probably wanted to keep him from Tennessee after Henry went down. Also maybe see if AP has any fumes left in the tank since we can't seem to convert 3rd and 1 running the ball.

I have always been much more impressed by 28 yards of 'N-S' running for a 2 yard gain. 703 apparent yards run for an actual gain of 59 yards on 12 carries. 😁

There should be a metric for that. (Probably is! 🤨)

That was Barry Sanders career

 

East West and Backwards although he did break lots of long ones and thats the Barry everyone likes to remember

Leave no stone unturned. In the event of injuries it’s smart to already have some bait in the water. A ballpark figure of expected salary as well.
