Adrian Peterson behind this Oline

[Stash]

apparently it is. i can't believe some folks still think ap will be commanding top dollar after this mess.

I think the fact is that they don't want him in Dallas (and I can respect their opinion) and that clouds their judgment.

I think the fact is that they don't want him in Dallas (and I can respect their opinion) and that clouds their judgment.

I don't think my judgement is cloudy at all. 1st he has to put this court issues behind him and then deal with the league office, given recent events I don't think the NFL is going to go very easy on Peterson. Could we be looking at next year gone as well? If that is the case we are going to let Murray go for a player who will now be 2 years older and had not played in a while? Best case he walked out of court a free man no time and the league only hands out punishment for this season. If that happens and Minn releases him then yes other teams outside of Dallas will look to AP and the price tag while less than what he get now would still likely to be in the range it would take to sign Murray

 

[Stash]

He will get it because it will be other teams in the running to sign him, that is if he comes back anytime soon it he is out for over a year why the hell would Dallas want him?

He's essentially suspended already. I don't see a significant suspension being tacked on once his issues are resolved. If the NFL tries that, they'll likely have yet another high profile court case to worry about.

 

[Redball Express]

..someone had to ask.

Not going to happen.

Fans would be outraged if the team let Murray go..

and then sign Peterson.

The guy is going to jail and is not going to be playing anymore anyway.

Sign Murray and let's try to build this team with loyal players for once.

Garrett has some faults..but knowing the type of player they want character-wise..

isn't one of them.

Let's see how the return of Josh Brent works out first before we add more felons to the squad.

That is like saying Brent was suspended already, no he is not suspended by the league this is a move by the vikes not the league office. Once court proceedings are done then the league will step in and not even players union are barking much at domestic violence cases which would include child abuse and the fact league has already said they will be much tougher on it. No doubt mainly because they looked like fools in the Ray Rice case.

I think that's just crazy talk. Almost as crazy as those saying he'll be out of the NFL.

Best case he walked out of court a free man no time and the league only hands out punishment for this season. If that happens and Minn releases him then yes other teams outside of Dallas will look to AP and the price tag while less than what he get now would still likely to be in the range it would take to sign Murray

And I'll say it again, if the price tags are close or equal, I'm keeping Murray too.

If you have not noticed NFL has not suspended AP as of yet and will not until the court proceedings are done, he could very well be found guilty so this year will be gone. He then will return and the league at that point can and will suspend him and saying 10 games are more is not outside of reality. The reality is the NFL took a big blow on the Rice situation and they will not do that with AP.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Anything referencing future expectations could be labeled as such. What it is is speculation based upon available information.



Like the sins of the past didn't this year, right? (insert lol here)

Jerry can be the richest man in the world, but there's still a salary cap.

You attack an article based on "assumption" and then proceed to assume that Murray will be overpaid "a bit".

Interesting...

And Murray's contract will not be the difference in us being over the salary cap so why is that a concern? It will not prevent us from re-signing Dez or any other player.

And who did this year's salary cap prevent us from signing? What free agent was worth spending that money on?

Teams are built throughout the draft. There's no shortcut around that. And being near the salary cap has allowed for the Cowboys to rely on their drafting and scouting in order to get where they are at right now. Not by giving guys like Mario Williams 100 million.

How do you know murray will be "loyal"?? There is a good chance murray prices himself outta town. This is his last big contract.

 

[Stash]

That is like saying Brent was suspended already, no he is not suspended by the league this is a move by the vikes not the league office.

Is that why it's called the "Commissioner's Exempt List"?

Once court proceedings are done then the league will step in and not even players union are barking much at domestic violence cases which would include child abuse and the fact league has already said they will be much tougher on it. No doubt mainly because they looked like fools in the Ray Rice case.

The NFL is currently operating in a 'guilty until proven innocent' environment. If they continue to do it, they'll find themselves in court on a weekly basis.

This guy is currently 'paying' for a crime he hasn't been convicted of yet.

 

[Stash]

Funny money then? This ain't Monopoly!

And who did this year's salary cap prevent us from signing? What free agent was worth spending that money on?

Anyone! They couldn't afford to sign anyone! And they couldn't afford to keep what they had! They were dumpster divers! Are you truly this dense?

Teams are built throughout the draft. There's no shortcut around that. And being near the salary cap has allowed for the Cowboys to rely on their drafting and scouting in order to get where they are at right now. Not by giving guys like Mario Williams 100 million.

An irrelevant point made in an attempt to justify a ridiculous position. Fail.

 

[Stash]

If you have not noticed NFL has not suspended AP as of yet

You need a fact check - badly.

and will not until the court proceedings are done, he could very well be found guilty so this year will be gone.

Based on what? The fact that the guy is a first-time offender, even if he does lose? Again, your judgment is seriously clouded to the point where you're fabricating things to justify it.

He then will return and the league at that point can and will suspend him and saying 10 games are more is not outside of reality.

The reality is the NFL took a big blow on the Rice situation and they will not do that with AP.

I wouldn't toss around the word 'reality', given what you're claiming.

They messed up the Ray Rice case so "Peterson will have to pay!"?

Nonsense, sheer and utter nonsense!

 

[Aliencowboy]

..someone had to ask.

You would see 200 and 250 +games regularly. Get him in for 3 years.

I think you are the one in need of a reality check, your man crush on AP is beyond ridicules. Getting older players is not what this team needs and not my fault you can’t except the fact AP is in big trouble and NFL has every right to suspend him after the court proceeding and punishment by the state of Texas if found guilty. Damn I would rather draft a RB than to get some 30 some odd year old RB.

You tell others they are being dense, look in the mirror

 

[Stash]

I can acknowledge the man's talent despite being unhappy with what he's done. I guess you can't.

Getting older players is not what this team needs

So cut any of our players over 30 too then, right? Or does your hypocrisy begin and end with Peterson?

and not my fault you can’t except the fact AP is in big trouble and NFL has every right to suspend him after the court proceeding and punishment by the state of Texas if found guilty.

And if not? If the charges are less? Or does your bias not account for that possibility?

Damn I would rather draft a RB than to get some 30 some odd year old RB.

If that's your stance overall, I can accept it. But don't use it to cloud everything else. But again, get rid if anyone over 30 if that's your true goal. I'm betting it isn't.

You tell others they are being dense, look in the mirror

At least I have my facts straight - Commissioner's Exempt List.

 

[DoomsDayD]

i dont think Peterson is going to be behind anyone for a while..but i do think someone will be behind him very shortly if the prosecutor has his way.

1st have a great deal of respect of AP ability as a RB and his career does not change the fact he is an over 30 RB

2nd yes FA signing over 30 is not what I think this team should do, they could pay Murray have a quality RB who is in his prime as opposed to a RB who is downhill side of his career

3rd I gave best case he is not found guilty and NFL does not suspend him and ends up on the open Market there is no doubt in my mind he will make a hefty contract from someone. But you seem to think Dallas is the only team? lol and again why would I want to see big money thrown at an old player when we have a very good one right now?

Lastly what is the deal Murray has done everything asked of him and Cowboy fans want him gone for some older RB Give me a break. What he talked to Jerry on the phone and all of a sudden fans think Peterson is coming to Dallas on some low budget contract? Rusty Harden is not cheap and if he can get AP off the hook it will come at a steep price AP will be looking for who can offer the biggest payday. Meantime he is not helping Harden out much as he just failed a drug test and now reports on a charity he was running can't account for 700 thousand of it

Is Romo over 30? Free? Witten? If so, all need to go too. Nobody 30 or over, right?

2nd yes FA signing over 30 is not what I think this team should do, they could pay Murray have a quality RB who is in his prime as opposed to a RB who is downhill side of his career

Again, this assumption of things being equal...

And you seem to think a player with a tarnished image looking to resuscitate his career will cost more than a younger player at the top of his game. Insert another of your nonsensical "lol's" right there.

I've said it enough times to have it sink in that if all things are equal, I keep Murray too.

The 'deal' is that you're twisting facts to suit your argument and creating things that aren't there.

Nobody is looking to run Murray out of town. In fact, they are examining the possibility of Murray pricing himself out of Dallas' price range. If that happens, and Peterson is a cheaper alternative, some of us would be interested in exploring that possibility.

I hope that clears things up.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Give me Murray....

I thought I read somewhere that the NFL now has a lifetime ban for those convicted of child abuse. Not sure.
