Adrian Peterson Now A Free Agent

[Alexander]

Remember this beaut circa 2015?

 

[AsthmaField]

Yeah, we would sign him and people would be expecting Adrian Peterson circa 2012 and instead they'd be getting Ivar the Boneless.

 

[OldCoach]

Sign him only if its cheap.

 

[AsthmaField]

Can we put a muzzle on Jerry Jones?

More like a straight jacket. He can still sign a check even if he can't talk.

Plus, you know... he's crazy anyway.

And not even the new and improved one with a chariot.

 

[AsthmaField]

Yes, but I have a feeling that it won't last much longer without Ragnar.

What happened to Ragnar? (I haven't watched in a couple of years).

 

[AsthmaField]

And not even the new and improved one with a chariot.

lol...

 

[erod]

Don't forget Commander, although I do admit it is a longer shot than those other 3.

Or Green Bay.

 

[viman96]

Philly's oline, minus Lane, isn't that great. If he signed there, it'd help us more than hurt us.

True. But I would not assume Philly does not attempt to improve their OL. They know it was a big reason their season went in the tank.

 

[JoeKing]

Jerry, why have you not yet jumped at this opportunity? Don't hesitate any more, just do it. Pull the trigger and give us the best RB combo in the history of the league.

 

[ghst187]

Not sure why AP would want to go to one of the only places he would be the second best RB on the team...
Also not sure why he doesn't walk away from the league a free man since he thinks playing in the NFL for $15 million a year is exactly like slavery. Someone tell him he's free...and that he should now go away.

 

[erod]

Signing Peterson would be dumb, unless there's more to this Zeke investigation than what we know.

Running backs who had 1,000+ yards rushing at 32 or older since 1990:

Ricky Williams (32)
Emmitt Smith (32)
Mike Anderson (32)

No running back has rushed for 1,000+ yards at age 33 or older. Basically there is 0 reason to get excited about Adrian Peterson anymore.

This is my thinking.

Peterson almost broke Dickerson's record eight months after ACL surgery. He's a different cat.

Signing Peterson would only be about him being a backup and giving him an opportunity to play for his beloved Cowboys and have one more shot at a ring.
He doesn't have to run for 1,000+ yards.

 

[cowboyblue22]

if Peterson wants a ring he should be looking to sign with pats not dallas

 

[pacy]

Yes you are right. But maybe he wants to reach that ultimate goal with the Cowboys. I mean it is not a secret that he always wanted to play for us.

 

[AsthmaField]

You actually want this to happen?

 

[rkell87]

Use him like Marion Barber to close out games. He also is money in the red zone. People acting like AP coming here to be be a backup is a terrible idea, injuries happen, AP+DMC > DMC+AM if we have to lean on them. I'm not for or against this happening but I do believe that he would improve our team
