Adrian Peterson requested trade to Cowboys

[phildadon86]

Sooooo it's basically the same thing we have now ( minus the freak of nature part) with out the baggage.
Murray well respected by his teammates. No off field issues at all.
You have to load the box to try and stop him. Gets the dirty yards.
Oline loves the guy, he loves them.
Coach wants him back.
QB wants him back because of HIS back.
Sorry, leave AP in the snow.

Don't compare ap to Murray. It's not even close

Whatever decision they make, I feel confident it will be to our favor financially.
I like both backs. Learning curve for AP, but I'm sure he will make that up quickly.

Look at career stats, you might be surprised at how close it is.

 

[JDSmith]

You are correct. Murray had 1,770 more yards last season.

Myself i'll take Murray over a 30 year old.

 

[windward]

He'd have a cap hit of 13 million this year. I don't see us trading for that. Now if he is released that's another issue entirely.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

I think the Vikings are driving this BS train, they've been trying to prop up the idea of not parting ways with AD so they can extract a draft pick out of someone and this sounds like a desperate attempt to get some urgency on the situation

I think your pretty close.

No way anyone trades for that contract. Vikings will be forced to cut him. We will sign him for a team-friendly deal.

 

[waving monkey]

May I ask why? That would be the main reason I don't want him.

an opinion is just that

Yup, to many going by name alone, not thinking the whole thing through.

I love Murray. My problem is can he stay healthy. Is it a coincidence he played a full season in a contract year?

Good, he can take Randles spot.

Can AP stay healthy? Murray played behind a pretty bad Oline for a few years. We fixed that and woolah

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Getting a year older and under a ton of stress. I'll take a worse RB with a fresh record breaking NFL season , than one forced to take a year off for the reasons AP did.

The year off is a good thing. Obviously.

Murray coming off a record breaking NFL season is a bad thing. Obviously.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

wow. lol

Wait. You disagree?

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Disagree on both counts.

He's been injury prone his entire career starting in college. This isn't news lol. You don't want peterson I get it.

Maybe maybe not. The odds are against him repeating his performance from last year.

But is it really that bad if he runs for 1500 yards instead of 1800?
