It's surprising to see so many people saying they don't like the move or they don't see how AP fits. This is how AP fits, he's Adrian Friggin Peterson! I don't care if he's 32, he's still an upgrade over Hightower. That's not a knock on Hightower, it's just that AP is one of the best to ever do it. So if we replace a player with a better player, to me that's a good move. I don't think the FO would throw huge money at him and why would they?

As far as Ingram is concerned yeah he might get a little salty with AP taking away some carries but Ingram is at his best when he's mad. Ingram has played the best football of his career with Hightower there to push him. So you'd have Mark Ingram running angry and AP coming off the bench in relief. That would be a pretty solid one two punch. And if Ingram gets hurt then you have Adrian Peterson to replace him with.

Where is the downside???
