The Jets cut Thomas Jones so they could sign a less effective LT? I find that hard to believe.
LT is going to get to play more on the Saints than the Vikings, sharing time with both Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush? Yea, I didn't think so.
If LT wants to sign at our price, then welcome aboard. Otherwise, backup RB is probably the easiest position in football to find and he can easily be replaced.
That is a really great point.
However, I do think we should be willing to overpay him a bit, compared to some random backup RB. He has experience and is a great citizen/veteran. He would fit in well with our team. He's a great pass catching back, which not every player is. Most importantly, I think he would be a great mentor for AP. LT never fumbles... that alone is worth like $5 million per year to the Vikings fans' collective well being lol.
