Audio: Jerry coming up on 105.3 The Fan

[Zimmy Lives]

If nobody else is offering a one for AP (Arizona supposedly wanted him) why should Jerry? He is still 30 years old.

The primary reason why Jerry will not trade for him unless it's a 3rd or less. Even Jerry must believe an aging once-premier RB does not guarantee a Super Bowl. He knows Romo, a dominant o-line, and an improved defense will be his meal ticket to the big game.

Totally against trading next yrs #1 even for AP..., Stock this team tru the draft

Agreed! That first rounder maybe a QB of the future. Save your ammo!

Makes Jerry sound desperate that everything hinges on the Romo window.
Also, increases the trading leverage for the Vikings if AP becomes a trade option.
Jerry needs to relax and let this thing play out.

Nothing is a guarantee in this league. If you don't have a QB, then it doesn't matter that you have Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, Jason Witten, Sean Lee, Greg Hardy, T.Frederick, Z.Martin. But what is guaranteed is we have a franchise QB right now, so lets go and win another ring. I understand both sides of the argument, I just would hate to end up like the other 1/2 teams in the NFL looking for a franchise QB for many years (after Romo), that would mean all that young talent we developed was a complete waste.

I see it differently. That's Jerry reaching out to the Vikings, saying "let's talk."

One of the last picks in the first round is virtually a second-round pick.

 

[Aven8]

I agree with that. Vikings are being difficult.

They need to be realistic though a realize that they suck as currently constructed with or without Peterson and get some picks for him while they still can and dump that contract.


The thought of the most physically gifted RB of all time behind potentially and one of the best OL's of all time is just a dream.

We can just go out and impose our will every week.

I'm not so sure I agree with Minny sucking with AD. Didnt he just a couple of years ago carry that team on his back to the playoffs with no QB? Wasnt that the Colleyville kid?

I will say this though, I heard Glen Stretch Smith say on Monday, that last year we 18 plays where everybody was blocked perfectly except the free safety. That is 9 on 10!! Amazing stat! AD might not stop until he hits Globe Life Stadium!! Lol

Yeah and showed his hand saying a 1 is on the table. Bad negotiation tactic but I'm not certain the Vikes would go for anything less anyway.

I would trade that first pick in a heart beat for AP. If AP joins this team that first pick next year is basically a Second round pick. We have a window and we have to go all out for it before Romo is done.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Still can't see a trade for Peterson happening.

In addition, I had the guy on my fantasy team in '13 and he wasn't all that.

His last very-good season was three years ago now.

And then you have his ridiculous salary to consider.

 

[Staubacher]

AP and every other running back in NFL history wants to run behind this line. That was a big part of what the Collins signing (and presser) was about.

 

[erod]

The right situation isnt a 30 YO AP

Yes it is.

The right situation is to put clearly the best RB in the NFL behind clearly the best offensive line.

The draft is iffy. There's nothing iffy about AP. He's got at least two years left.

Just curious but besides Cook from Michigan State and Hackenburg from Penn State, what QB's are considered 1st rounders next year? Odds are we will be picking 20th or later and those two are considered top 10.

 

[CashMan]

Not true, different boards, rate players differently. Ex: the Bears got a NT who a lot of people rated a 1st round pick, in the 2nd round.

 

[Vinnie2u]

How about Randall, Leary and a 3rd..

You might not agree but Mr Jones is Mr. Jones no matter how you slice it. Jerry is going after AP and either the Vikes just decide to not play ball or we all must welcome AP to our team and hope for the best.

 

[cowboys1981]

Trading for AP with his current deal wouldn't fall in line with all of the smart decision making we've made this offseason.

Every year someone new pops up on the radar. We just don't know. What's a sure fire first rounder could stink it up and drop to 3rd. Another "Aarron Rogers" would happen or "Gregory". Better to have that pick available then mortgaging the future.

I hate to give up picks, but I'm torn on this one.

Fixed it for you!

Sure. There are so many options when you have the pick. Potentially trade it for a 2nd and following year's #1. Play the draft out. "Aarron Rogers", "Randy Gregory" weren't suppose to fall but did.......... we just don't know.
