Look, I’m not saying that recycling old running backs is becoming a trend — let’s just call it a popular hobby. Adrian Peterson is a New Orleans Saint. Marshawn Lynch is an Oakland Raider. And Jamaal Charles may soon move to the Denver Broncos, per reports like this:
Former Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles scheduled to visit Broncos on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Broncos enthused about it. Good fit for both sides
Combined age of Peterson, Lynch and Charles: 93. Combined rushing TDs: 214.
These are really no-lose deals for the teams involved. The chances of any of these running backs lasting an entire season without breaking down are 50 percent at best, but look what you get in return.
