    AP would be amazing no ifs ands or buts!!! The guy is the best RB in the game by far. With a change if scenery and a fast track at MetLife he could explode!!!

    Having said that a 3rd and a 5th (2016) is the most i would give up given the Vikings are in a tough spot with him.

    AP turns 30 in 2 days.......he's on the downside of his career. I wouldn't trade for any RB in their 30's.

    It seems we have a trade thread FOR EVERY FRIGGEN PLAYER AVAILABLE....absolutely crazy. And Coples is the trade bait.......hilarious.

    Don't want him. I think he is a great player but I think it would behoove us to remain younger at the position. Only worth it if he came here WAY below market value.

    Coples has been pretty much a bust

    It's not that he doesn't want to play in SD.

    It's that he doesn't want to be stuck in LA or somewhere else if the team decides to move or is forced to because of the stadium situation. Qualcomm is a dump.

    I have no problem staying with Ivory as our lead back with Bilal and another back, maybe a draft pick since there are good Rbs in rounds 2 and up like Yeldon and Abdullah.

    Eh...I'd love to have him, dude runs angry, but he's too expensive. Best bet is to draft a fresh runner with less miles in the later rounds

    By far pretty sure Marshawn lynch would like a word with you

    Or bell from the steelers

    AP is the best but by far is a stretch

    What is this "fast track at MetLife" you're talking about? I hope it's not the playing surface, because that's far from a fast surface. I can't count the number of times I've seen a Jets ball carrier slip on those stupid rubber pebbles making a cut

    Ur probably right. By far is a stretch but he is rested and has fresh legs.

    I think he has 2/3 All Pro years left.

    The synthetic surfaces are usually much faster then grass.

    Grass is the slowest turf obviously because the field break down over the course of a season but that doesn't make that ice rink the Jets play on a "fast track" no matter how you try to spin it. The Jets particular field surface sucks

    I've never heard this before. What is different about the field turf at met life vs other stadiums?

    They are all the same brand as far as I know but there has to be a difference in the application of it because I don't see other teams ball carriers slipping and sliding on their field like I see the Jets doing it, and I also don't see the Jets sliding around on the Field Turf at other stadiums like they do at MetLife. It's like they are trying to make cuts in gravel. If I were to guess I'd say overapplication of rubber pellets
