Adrian Peterson to Dallas?

[erod]

Adam Shefter is reporting that Dallas is interested in Adrian Peterson.

I was for this at one time, but this would be an odd signing.

 

[SDCowboy]

I wouldn't mind him as relief to Zeke if the price was right. lol

 

[SuspectCorner]

Whyyyyyyy?

 

[fishspill]

I like it because it'll get Zeke on the field for more 3rd downs. I know many want to run Zeke into the ground now while he's young and on his first contract, but the team is clearly not wanting to do this. SO the best course of action is to use his abilities at the best times. Also means no more Dunbar downs.

Adam Shefter.......enough said.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Why?, it's not going to happen

 

[Cowboys22]

There is only one good reason to sign AP. To limit his carries and yards so he cannot catch Emmitt. There really isn't a good reason to spend the cap dollars on a RB when you have Zeke. You can get a cheap veteran and a 5th or 6th round rookie.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Maybe you're spoofing us...

But this makes absolutely no sense to me.

Morris is signed for another year and I'm pleased as punch with resigning McFadden, who'll be a heck of a lot less costly than Peterson.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Makes no sense. A backup RB that adds nothing as a nickel RB or special teams. Plus it will cost too much. Makes more sense to draft another versatile RB.

 

[Bullflop]

We don't need an expensive RB at the twilight of his career to save a team that sorely requires help on defense. Let's not go there; it won't happen. The Dallas FO isn't inclined to spend excessive amounts of $$ to augment a unit that's already a strength of the team. It's just a lame idea. They'll probably be much more inclined to draft a RB in the later rounds of the draft than to look to Peterson for help.

 

[Dwight]

Too old and money should be focused on needs such as a pass rusher on the dline and a good safety.

If there is a solid RT in free agency I would rather sign that player over AP. We have to continue thinking long term and fix issues. AP does not solve some of our weaknesses.

 

[RoboQB]

If he can rush the passer, I'm all for it...

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Lol, awful reporting....... I can't see Peterson accepting a backup role nor Elliott splitting carries with him. The only reason this is a story is because Peterson is a Cowboys fan and expressed interest when they needed an RB.

If his playing days were over and the Cowboys needed a backup this may make sense, but I think he has two more years he could be a starter. Resigning Mcfadden makes much more sense from a cost perspective.

I can see it...Petersen wants to come play at home for cheap where he expects he can win a ring (not happening in Minny)

 

[Cmac]

Makes no sense at all.......enough said. We have Alfred Morris as a backup.....shameful he would be overlooked in that role.

 

[rkell87]

Story for clicks, and you fell for it

It would have to be an Alfred Morris type contract for it to make any sense whatsoever and we know Peterson won't sign for that cheap.

Dallas just needs to draft a versatile RB. Or just re-sign DMAC.

 

[The Quest for Six]

DOES HE PLAY DEFENSIVE END...OTHERWISE THIS IS STUPID NONSENSE!

 

[robjay04]

Peterson will be signing with NYG so we will see a lot of him IMO.

Only reporting is because of the mutual interest between the two parties. Peterson, not son much as a backup though.

 

[Old'Boyfan]

Ridiculous. Epitome of click bait.
