Re: Free Agent Tracker
Personally I'm holding out for that surprise cut that no one sees coming. It happens every year. Maybe that guy might be a good young MLB or WR.

Re: Free Agent Tracker
Kevin Williams is a pretty good DT bro. Don't think he has nothing to do with that? Atleast a little. The Vikings have no WRs and the guy still gets close to 1500 yards every year. Every one looks as sacks but no one realizes how many times the DE gets out of position chasing those sacks. Lynch is good but no where near AP. I have a feeling you wouldn't feel the same way if they both played for the Ravens.

Here is the deal man, AP is 230lbs and 6'2". RB's like that run hard and take A LOT of hits to their knees and hips. Eventually, they wear out and more often than not backs like that wear out sooner rather than later. Remember Eddie George? He was very similar in height and running style to AP. Many were touting him as one of the greatest power backs since Earl Campbell and they were right, but the last 4 years of his career he averaged just 3.2 ypc after averaging 4 his first 5 seasons.
I'm just saying that AP will be 27 this year and in 2 maybe 3 years he'll probably start to rapidly decline. He's a hell of a back, but it's just extremely hard for bigger RB's with his running style to sustain that kind if production over a long career. I bet he ends up out of football by the time he's 32 or 33 years old.
Jared Allen is 29 years old and as a DE his position carries significantly more value than AP's does and it's probable that he'll be able to sustain a high level of play into his mid 30's giving him a longer production than what AP would have.
That's why, IMO, Jared Allen is the better player.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Free Agent Tracker
I get your point but if AP can give me 3 more years I would be happy. 10 years of high productivity from a running back is all you can really expect. Currently though, I would take AP. If I was Baltimore I would take AP. If I was Houston I would take Allen. Catch my drift? I'm not looking farther than 3 years into the future.

Re: Free Agent Tracker
Cortland Finnegan could have an interesting choice to make. Does he go to St. Louis with his former head coach or does he go to Detroit with his former defensive coordinator?
