I can't help but to think this rumour could be to put pressure on AP to take a discount if he really wants to play here.

Will he be able to open his own holes to get thru the D-Lines? Can he shake off two or three defensive players hitting him behind the line and still make positive yardage? Can he be relied on to stay healthy for a full season, or two?
Will he come cheap?
We need O-Line help more than anything else. That is where our FO attention should be right now.
Have you seen the amount of money going to O-linemen right now? No way the Hawks are dipping their toes into that water. Be patient. Just because the guys they signed last year didn't work out, doesn't mean the guys they sign this year won't as well.
"That Other RB That The Chiefs Have" is the reason that Jamaal Charles is expendable to them.chawx":1y9wzac7 said:What about that other RB the Chiefs have? He's a bruiser-type, downhill runner, mini-Marshawn-ish, but can acutally stay pretty healthy...if only we had drafted a guy like in the last few years. What's his name again?
These are the head games they play.nIdahoSeahawk":21np3f9y said:I can't help but to think this rumour could be to put pressure on AP to take a discount if he really wants to play here.

Personally i like peterson more , hes a bruising back and fits the scheme better than charles. Plus i think he has the better chance of staying healthy, i really have zero confidence in charles playing even 10 games. Peterson on the other hand has been rested 2 of the past 3 seasons and was the best back in the league in 2015.HawkFan72":1vw3ysp4 said:RussB":1vw3ysp4 said:If they are gonna sign a veteran RB might as well just bring Adrian Peterson in because hed be willing to take a pay cut and has a bigger upside than charles.

He also had surgery to finally fix his knees, is still only 30, and averages over 5 yards a carry when he plays. He also helps in the passing game, which AP doesn't. AP is older, shows signs of slowing down last year, and wants over $4 million a year.
It all depends on price. If Charles signs a team-friendly deal he is a low-risk, high reward signing.
He could bring that beast mode effect back to seattle and help them to get to another SB. Hes got 1 or 2 great years left.Siouxhawk":upga74wc said:Adrian's got one more huge year bottled up in him. I pity the defender trying to get in his way in the upcoming season.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Charles will visit Seattle next week. If signed, he would join a depth chart currently led by Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise.
At his best, Charles can average well over five yards per carry on a consistent basis (his career average is 5.5), and he can catch plenty of passes. In 2013 alone, he had 70 receptions.
