DMN: Minnesota coach: Adrian Peterson can play for Vikings or not at all

[Fletch]

Well yeah, when someone starts that "You don't want to improve your team?" nonsense, the Cowboys could have greatly improved it by signing Suh (amongst other high-priced players) but anyone understanding the economics of doing so would realize while it was potentially possible it was economically ridiculous.

Same kind of thing here... Not to mention that Peterson is giving off way too many negative vibes at this point to even be a consideration for the Cowboys. Peterson is rapidly becoming toxic.

Same dude that said team owners were slave owners and players were merely slaves.

Yeah, count me as one not interested.

Yep. What a great way to enhance your value in the eyes of other teams.

He's 'toxic' to Minnesota. Once he gets out you won't be able to stop him from smiling.

Meh. Best thing for Adrian is to honor his contract with the team he's currently under contract with for the next three years. He's the highest paid RB in the NFL and will be making roughly 5 mill more than the rest at his position this coming season.

He just needs to keep his old *** in Minny.

I think he's going to find out that there's no one going to pay him $13 mil for this season.

The way I see it, it's the Vikings who have no intention of honoring his contract. That's why he's asking them to prove they want to keep him around like they say they do, by guaranteeing to some degree.

The Vikings are refusing to do that for some reason. Their words aren't matching up with their actions.

In what way specifically?

I gotcha. Just not OUR problem. I believe the Cowboys feel the same way. Not OUR problem. We'll be fine.

It's certainly not our problem. But I still think we might benefit from the situation. But I know your position and will leave it at that.

He's guaranteed $13 mil for this season.

I don't see anyone guaranteeing him $13 mil for this season, other Minny and they're contractually obligated to pay him.

I don't see anyone guaranteeing him $13 mil for this season, other Minny and they're contractually obligated to pay him.

I could see Dallas going that as part of a 3 year deal. But that's just my opinion.

My personal belief is that the Vikings don't want to pay him that $13 million gir one year either.
