I don't think you understand the meaning of the words "prove it deal". Neither of these guys have anything left to prove. They should be in ring-chasing mode now.
I understand fully what a "prove it deal" is. And the thing they have to prove is that they can stay healthy. Charles is 30, and Peterson is 31. 30 is widely accepted as the fall off age for running backs. Charles has played in five games in two years, and missed one game before that due to injuries. Ap played in 1 game in 2014, and 3 last year. 2014 due to suspension, last year due to injury. So, they have plenty to prove. It is widely accepted that they would sign prove it deals. It is also widely accepted that in the NFL, it's not what you have done in the past, it's what you will due in the future. Don't insult my intelligence.
Edit: not to mention that ap rushed for an appalling 1.9 yds per carry last year. Even though it was behind a horrible line, that is still major cause for concern.
