Adrian Peterson Sweepstakes ***Officially reinstated (again) and merged***

[Stash]

AP is due to make 13 million, 15 million, and then 17 million over the next 3 years. His greatest chance of actually seeing this money, or anything close to it is to stay in Minny. People who think he is going to take a FIVE TO NINE MILLION DOLLAR PAYCUT PER YEAR to put a stupid star on his helmet, are absolutely delusional. Let that sink in. 5-9 million per year pay cut. AP knows this is his last big contract. He will never see this type of money again. He is going to want the biggest payday he can possibly get before he retires. ALL OF US WOULD TOO !!!! Does he want to be traded??? Probably. Is he willing to take a 5-9 million dollar pay cut per year to do so???? Of course not. Get over it fellas. 179 pages of posts for something that isn't going to happen.

Thank you for all of your words of wisdom and setting us all straight. I'm very glad you know all of the inside info on this subject, right down to what each and every person wants.


If only you had shared your all-knowing, all-seeing words with us before, we would not have wasted all of our time on this topic.

The only problem with what you're saying is the part where Peterson has his agent publicly campaign to get him away from the team willing to offer him the most money.

Other than that fact blowing a hole in your boat, your case is really strong.

And would you then expect the Vikings to keep Peterson in 2016 for $15 million?

If they're keeping him this year. Yes. They do have the cap to do so.

The thing that keep sticking out to me is the pay cut thing. Why ask him to take a pay cut than refuse to trade him after he wasn't interested in that?

This just won't go away.

 

[phildadon86]

Recent reports have him ready to roll week 1.

In that case, trade up. Because we cant start the season with DMC

Don't show that to esloan or mattjames. That's to close to the SJ quote.

He won't be ready by week 1 and even if he is no way he'll be at 100%.

I think that is where the hope sits at this point.

All the talk centers around the DB/DE position in the first round unless Gurley or Gordon fall closer to 27. Don't see Gurley dropping that far but Gordon maybe. Coleman in the 2nd might be more likely a scenario IMO much like the DeLaw move last year.

Why? Tevin Coleman should be there at #27 if Dallas really likes him. Or trade up from our 2nd round pick (higher 2nd round) to get him.

 

[dallasdave]

Hey Yo Adrian, I think you can get the ring with Dallas. Just tell the Vikes its Dallas or nothing.

 

[dallasdave]

Oh well time to move on. Hopefully they draft one of the top RBs.

But wait, we have to get this thread to 200 pages

Yeah he is going to walk away from the 13 mill contract with the vikes for nothing. LOL

oh you know money ain't everything

Because gurley is the number one RB prospect and id rather not hope Coleman pans out. Id rather know Gurley will

Not everything but it is a lot, lawyers think so and AP cost him quite a bit. Hometown Lawyer Rusty Harden does not come cheap and he does not give hometown discounts. lol

I've heard there is a chance Gurley goes top 10 or least top 15. We'd have to give up a lot to move that far.

Ah, Jerry has a stable of lawyers.

Claiborne and our 2nd

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Claiborne and our 2nd

No way we give up a 2nd. The Jones said they want to fix the d (in the draft press conference). Not happening giving up a 2nd and using a 1st on a running back. Unless it's next years 2nd.

Yes he does but and AP lawyer just happens to be one of the best out there.
