If I am AP I am looking at the Packers, Raiders, Broncos and IND primarily. After that maybe SEA/JAX/NE/KC/TB.
I think the Eagles are a spot to watch for Charles more than AP

If Charles can stay healthy I'd love to see him and Sproles, just as a football fan.

If I understand the situation correctly, he hasn't hit free agency yet. He's just not going to be given 18M. That doesn't mean the Vikings don't still want him. It just means they don't want him at 18M. He may negotiate a new, more realistic price with the Vikes before ever hitting free agency.
I'd say it's still quite possible he is a Viking.

The smart move for the Vikings would be to find a way to keep AP. But if AP is looking around at this stage of his career and has the same mindset we are hearing from Charles that he wants to have an opportunity to plan for a championship team, he isn't returning to Minnesota. All due respect to Vikings fans and their 2016 quick start - Bradford is not taking that team to a title. I find it suspect he even gets them into the playoffs.

I see him on one of 3 possible teams:
1) Vikings - I'd give this the best shot of happening.
2) Cowboys - Jerry Jones has hit a bit of a stretch of sanity lately, it could take a dark turn...
3) Patriots - Superbowl
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

4) Oakland, just because, it would be fun to see him run behind a stellar OL as the main guy, one last time.

Oakland makes the most sense IMO. Really good offensive line, a good QB and pass catchers to keep the extra guys out of the box. He could do some real damage there for a season or two as the primary RB and then be part of a committee for a year on a 3 year deal.

Lions could be a dark horse as well if they want an upgrade over Zenner in the big back role

Please no... We don't need to be overspending for players on their last legs.

To contribute to the conversation I think the best he can hope for is a committee role as a 2-down thumper. Oakland makes sense in that regard, but wherever he goes probably comes down to his price tag. I'd say his days as an RB1 are toast and that as a fantasy owner the best you can hope for is mid-RB2 numbers

All due respect... but, Bradford wasn't the reason the vikings got off to a quick start. It was a combination of turnovers and good health. Not Bradford. I'm sure AP is quite aware of this.

Bradford isn't taking the vikings anywhere..... He doesn't have to. All he has to do is be a top 15ish passer. HE can do that as long as he is healthy. Easily. AP could easily resign with Mn. They are a contending, talented, and up coming team. They have holes to fill, but on avg, they are quite young. If he restructures, their situation is quite good. They have a young talented top 5 defense. That is how the team is built. That defense is their strength. Their o-line is their weakness. That can be resolved or at least improved upon now either with AP (if he restructures) or without him if he chooses to go that route. It has little to do with Bradford, or Teddy B for that matter... I don't find it suspect one bit that the Vikings Defense takes them to the playoffs and is a team strength for next several years. I find it likely that the Vikings win the NFC North to be honest. I think people have forgotten already about just why things shook down the way they did. The vikings had an unimaginable number of injuries to work through. Not just their starting QB, but also AP, and nearly their entire O-line.

AP probably still believes he is worth a king's ransom. McKenzie (Raiders) won't hand him a big contract, if any. However, all it takes is one GM to offer a stupid contract. I have a hard time believing he would be a difference maker for a contender.

Patriots would be perfect as them employ a two down battering ram with 3rd down backs.

I think AP goes where he can get paid

I highly doubt Belichick brings in a guy for the early down role that fumbles as often as Petersen does.

The best way to develop a young QB is to...put him in a constant, predictable I-form offense necessitated by the RB, who is poor in pass protection. Yep I'm on board. Sign him up, Eagles.
