Could the Skins do what the 49ers did in 2019-20?

It wouldn’t kill me if he stays as a back up to the young guys and a short yardage package type back. I just don’t want him asking/taking away from younger guys who need to play

Maybe the young guys could increase their playing me by being well enough to get on the field and stay there. AP has been available and they haven't. I would look to bring in a true short yardage beast via FA or trade. He doesn't need to be a star. Perhaps we could get someone like Bo Scarbrough from Detroit via trade.

Yeah I'm with you...perfect scenario is Guice/Love/? TAKE the starting position from him and stay healthy. I can't imagine any other team is going to give AP more opportunity than the Skins, and that's if they keep him.

I agree with you on this.. Also, AP is good mentor so this is another area where keeping AP would benefit Redskins.
