Friday Open Thread: If you had to add a player over 40, who would it be?

Signing old dudes is all the rage! Who would you sign?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing a 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers. There are currently only five active players in the NFL born before 1985, making them 40 or older.

While football is considered a young man’s game, it doesn’t have to be!

If a team can sign a guy who remembers the Reagan administration, why can’t the Packers?!

Which NFL player who qualifies for an AARP card would you like your team to sign?

My answer: Not Marcedes Lewis. Stop it. What’s wrong with you? Look, I love Big Dog. You love Big Dog. We ALL enjoyed having a tight end who could play right tackle for 1⁄3 of the league. But that man currently runs at half the speed of smell and has caught 30 passes over the course of Presidents 46 and 47.

The only other active players over 40 are Joe Flacco, currently a Cleveland Brown, and two kickers. Matt Prater and Nick Folk are both Quadragenarians without contracts, but Prater was on IR last year and Folk “announced his intention” to keep playing to zero response from a bad Titans team that needs points from whatever source they can get.

The real answer is to pull someone out of retirement to plug a hole.

And who could plug a hole better than THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUND JOHNNY JOLLY?!

GET THAT MAN BACK HERE WITH HIS HAND IN THE DIRT TAKING ON BOTH GUARDS AND THE CENTER AT THE SAME TIME

He hasn’t played in 12 years, so you know he’s got fresh legs. Get on the phone, Gute!
