Peterson wants at least 25 Million guaranteed to sign with Dallas

[Toruk_Makto]

If we had to pay a rb 25 million guaranteed. I'd rather give it to a than Murray.

Don't want AD for that kind of money.

 

[Fredd]

It's great to want things...

...if this quote is true, then I wouldn't even consider talking to him...no thanx

 

[Dave_in-NC]

McCoy got 26.5 million in guaranteed money.

If we could get AP for a 4 year 32 million dollar contract with 25 million guaranteed, it would make a lot of sense for us. 12 million dollar signing bonus


Year 1 - 3 million dollars
Year 2 - 4 million dollars
Year 3 - 6 million dollars
Year 4 - 7 million dollars

Prorated bonus would be 3 million a year

first two years would cost us 13 million dollars.

If you wanted to cut him in year 3 it would cost 9 million in dead money, but you could split the cost over two years. Likely you keep him at least for the first 3 years.

No thanks.

All I know is he is the only player in Free Agency that makes me think our odds of winning a Superbowl go drastically up if he is on our roster.

That's what the Vikings thought back in the day with Herschel Walker. I don't know. A runningback that age with his injury history. I'd rather go young or cheaper, and get defensive playmakers plus a #2 WR.

 

[Danger]

Guess you won't be wearing the star for the foreseeable future AD

Time to study up

If this is true. Take it easy lol

Not just me Garrett talked about the notion of plug and play RB is a load of BS. It is for the simple mind and your madden players. there are a lot of bust RB who come into the league. It is not that easy finding an all purpose RB and I have see coaches like a BP and Jimmy who would not start a RB who can't block. When you have Blitzer's coming that RB often is the only thing between a sack and a big play, you can't have RB whiffing on blocks. In terms of rushing Murray has proven himself as a tough runner and is also very good out of the backfield. I agree there is a limit that Dallas should spend but thinking anyone can do the job is pure BS

That's coaching and willingness on the RB (pass blocking) and scouts should be resp. for drafting these features as potential attributes to work on, etc But you can't coach the running skills (draft = cheap). Of course a young vet RB who has knowledge of the scheme will naturally be better at picking up blitzers. But you don't overpay for the intricacies, you pay for the running skills. RBs with running skills can be taught PB @ a much cheaper rate that allows you to allocate resources properly (QB, OL, DL, CB, WR) esp when your DL is as weak as ours.

He lives in Spring, TX.

Quick, we must act! Maybe louisiana will take him as a resident.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Okay that's his contract demands but what are the vikings demands now just to get him

Romo and his back would beg to differ.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I'd rather he break out his whoopin' stick on me than sign that contract

***** THAT!!!

Give DeMarco $20 mil guaranteed. $4 mil per year 4-5 years.

Rather win it with DeMarco anyways...

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

In all seriosity, AP would, at the toppermost of the poppermost, be a stop-gap RB for us. Even the immortals have limited shelf space in the NFL. Too old, too expensive, too much baggage. Pass, Jerra, pls.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, I'd probably pass.

But if the alternative is handing out a long term deal to DeMarco Murray, I'd rather go with Peterson.

I coveted Peterson. It's to the point now where I just don't want Murray.

 

[BigStar]

Romo and his back would beg to differ.

So we are seriously going to pay this ransom for pass blocking? Not to mention it makes our coaching staff look inept if they can't teach a young player this resp? We can coach that up in a rookie, or allow Randle/Williams to handle that role if the potential rook is slow in this dept (work them in throughout the year).

 

[lostar2009]

Can Hardy protect Romo like Murray can???

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO!!!

I wouldn't mind Hardy, but we need Murray or AD.

I thought it was the oline job to protect Romo.

 

[Rogerthat12]

I am telling you, draft your RB this year.

 

[Floatyworm]

No thanks AP I can draft a RB

Come on down Jay Ajayi!!!!!!

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

If we had to pay a rb 25 million guaranteed. I'd rather give it to a than Murray.

Don't want AD for that kind of money.

I see him getting hurt... Early...
