Adrian Peterson's "agent" refuses meeting with Vikes GM

[Silver N Blue]

I'd rather draft a young guy at a fraction of the price. The o-line will take care of Gurley or Gordon.

The team is already getting hammered for signing Hardy. It would be considerably worse if they get AP as well.

No one is saying that still can not happen.

 

[CowboyChris]

I wanna see how far both sides will go.

Hold out. Fine the piss out of him.

thats exactly what i think will happen. it still in the early stages of messy.

In Toronto for a bachelor party.

Heard from the hostess. I mean stripper. He's going to Buffalo.

Again, no way Peterson settles for 5-6 mil per year. Dallas isn't paying him more than what they offered Murray.

I think Dallas will go up to between 7-8 million for AP, just my opinion though. This is still in the pipe-dream process

They didn't want to pay Murray (over 6 mil). No way they pay more for a 30 year old rb.

I'd rather just draft a RB. The only scenario that I could see Dallas signing him would be if he was released by the Vikings and signed a team friendly, reasonable contract. I doubt that happens.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Again, no way Peterson settles for 5-6 mil per year. Dallas isn't paying him more than what they offered Murray. And there has been NO report that Dallas is interested anyways.

There is nothing that supports that statement IMO..and there has been several reports there is mutual interest with AP and Dallas??

 

[Aikmaniac]

Wouldn't that be a riot if we resurrected him after Kelly failed to put him to good use the way he did with McCoy?

That isn't the beyond the realm of reality.

I'm still of the belief that he knows he made a mistake (Murray).

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

It has been reported that Dallas offered Murray around 6 mil a year. And wouldn't go over that. So why would they do it for a 30 year old rb when the draft is loaded with backs?

I agree with you. Not about Hardy part though, we can weather that crap.

Not if sponsers start walking. After the tumult of last year, having both Hardy and Peterson in Dallas may be too much for sponsers. Especially is pressure groups start putting the screws to the team.

Most will poo-poo what I am saying. I think it's a real possibility. Peterson is very good, but we don't need him to win.

 

[Rogerthat12]

I think AP is forcing their hand so he can get out of Minn!

 

[Stash]

Cap flex to sign AP who most likely will want 9-10 mil a year? No way he settles for 5-6 mil. Which is the limit for Dallas.

Keep telling yourself whatever you want in order to believe that it won't happen, you obviously don't want him here and will tell yourself whatever it takes for that to be the case. I don't blame anyone if they don't want him here, that's fine. It's when people say 'the Cowboys can't" or "there's no way" that it sounds ridiculous.

Each report like this one increases the chances that it could happen.

And Hardy wanted 13-15. He got it, and it cost us under 4 million. It's a new way of being paid and bringing in big time players. The NFL will make a Stephen Jones rule in the next couple of years, but we will continue to be creative until they do.

Chasing Peterson really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It would be no different than when Chip got rid of Shady because he didn't want to pay RB's big money, then turning around and signing Murray.

Jerry may want it, but Stephen seems to be running the show now. And he has much more common sense than his father.

I agree far from over which is why every Friday until he becomes a Cowboy can be AP new thread he is coming day.

Well, this is not the STL Rams........we are the Dallas Cowboys and I don't think that sponsors would disassociate themselves from that kind of publicity.

I do agree that we don't need him to win and one of those rookies would be enough to suffice.

 

[Stash]

Peterson, McFadden and Williams sure looks enticing.....................

Yeah it does!

And then being able to go all defense with maybe an offensive lineman or two in the draft?

Jackpot!

 

[Stash]

I was fairly confident we would sign Hardy. However, I am certain we wont sign Peterson.

I wouldn't be too certain on that.

Again. I am agree that it's a possibility.

I don't know that they pull out though.
