Minn does not covet a CB anymore they drafted one as expected. If a trade goes down it will be for a pick this year or next. Today will be the day though we find out. Great first day though.

I imagine, by this time tomorrow, Coleman, Yeldon, Ajayi or Edwards will be a Cowboy. Pretty excited.

If we trade a pick next year, I'd like to see them get another pick in the third. Would love to see therm pick up Clark at DE and a solid DT.

coleman and yeldon will most likely be gone...the jags are high on yeldon and the lions covet coleman...they are not taking Ajayi...his knee will knock him to tomorrow...like the edwards pick or bennett as well at 60...if gregory falls that may be a great option as well....and keeping with this subject...today that 2nd or 3rd pick could be moved for the best RB in the NFL!! Bring AD home JJ!

Peterson’s agent shifts gears, wants Vikings to show him the money
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 1, 2015, 10:35 AM EDT

Adrian Peterson’s agent is no longer saying he wants out of Minnesota. He’s now saying he wants more money to stay in Minnesota.

Ben Dogra, who has previously said it’s not in Peterson’s best interest to stay with the Vikings, now says that he understands the Vikings will not get rid of Peterson.

“One of the things that I appreciate with the Vikings is their resolve to say ‘we’re not trading him,'” Dogra told USA Today. “That tells me they value him not only as a football player, but what he’s done for the organization. I actually, as an agent, not only appreciate it — I accept it. But actions speak louder than words. If that’s going to happen, and you want to keep him, then show him a commitment to make him retire as a Viking. And I haven’t had that solution.”

When an agent says he wants a team to show a player a commitment, what he means is that he wants the team to show him the money. But the Vikings are already scheduled to pay Peterson $46 million over the next three years, making him the highest-paid running back in the NFL. It’s just not realistic to think the Vikings will give Peterson a raise, and it’s hard to see any reason the Vikings should agree to guarantee that money.

Instead, the Vikings will tell Peterson that he needs to play under his current contract. Dogra now seems to be acknowledging that Peterson will do that.

Peterson should fire this agent because it seems like he is just trying to find a way to get paid rather than helping AP.

No way Minn does a new deal. No way. They'd be the stupidest team in the NFL. This is a ploy.
