NFL Insider Peter King thinks Adrian Peterson will play in Dallas next season

[supercowboy8]

This has the makings of Eddie George Part 2.

EG was done before he came to Dallas. We haven't had a chance to see AP this year but last year he was great still. I'm fine with brining him in but just hope it's cheap 1 or 2 year deal.

 

[Dirtjunkie]

Would be awesome, but is there ANY way we can afford him?

 

[yentl911]

Peterson is a beast and will be more than rested after sitting the season this year.

AD behind this line would be epic but I would rather pay Murray. He is great at everything and has paid his dues here. He deserves to be paid and I hope he stays - solid guy and seems like a great teammate with no baggage.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

So Peterson would backup Murray? Yeah, I don't see that happening.

 

[Hostile]

I'm in agreement with Peter King.

I think Murray prices himself out of the Cowboys' range and Peterson comes cheaper due to the circumstances of reputation and location.

Yeah, that could happen. I won't deny that. I just don't think it will. The team has options and AP would be one of them. I don't see Murray leaving though, and if he's here going after AP is a bit foolish given the fact that we're going to pay Murray.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

I wouldnt give big money to a 30 Y/O running back, dont care who it is.

I believe he will be cheaper than most people believe.

 

[DogFace]

I like the idea of cutting Randle on Monday and promoting Ryan Williams to the 53.

I like the idea of letting Murray go elsewhere at the end of the season to get his HUGE pay day, and us signing Peterson to a 2 year, 8 million dollar deal.

Anyone have an idea of the compensation pick we might get if we let Murray go?

 

[Fredd]

No, no, no, no ,no, never, never, never, never, never, no, never!

so, just so I am clear, you aren't in favor of this?

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Any deal for AP would have to be low base salary, extremely incentive-laden, with a backup that we feel comfortable with starting in a pinch.

Come to Dallas if you want Super Bowl ring.

Here is his sign "will play for ring"

Base salary.


I know, I know... Ain't hapenin!

 

[darthseinfeld]

AD is gonna be angry next year

We know what happens when AD runs angry

 

[tyke1doe]

so, just so I am clear, you aren't in favor of this?

 

[tyke1doe]

It's too early for me to get worked up over this. But is AP still struggling with fumbles or has he kicked that habit?

 

[Nirvana]

After sleeping on this, it makes even more sense. Consider it done.

 

[lqmac1]

I think this deal make sense for both sides. Adrian Peterson has already made his money in this league, I'm sure he's looking to play for a contender. It does not hurt that he has from the area and grew up a big-time Cowboys fan.

 

[Aven8]

I would prefer Murray but that's just me. A complete back and younger.

However I could see NE all over him, or somebody like the Gents. That would suck!

 

[Fredd]

the irony here, to me, is that we have players that have quit on the team so that we can cut them and they go elsewhere...sounds like AP is doing a lil' bit-o-that in our (potential) favor in this instance

 

[MackNorth]

Too bad Peterson can't play for County Jail... I don't want him on the Cowboys. POS

 

[Dodger12]

I like Murray but AP would give this offense a homerun threat that Murray lacks. And AP is a tough runner to boot. There's nothing wrong with upgrading the roster for the right price and I'd love to see what AP can do behind this OL.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Anyone have an idea of the compensation pick we might get if we let Murray go?

Most likley a 3rd if we arent active in FA

Could be a 2nd if someone really breaks the bank to give him McCoy money and we aren't very active in FA

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I don't want the guy.

We have the best back in the league. Draft a backup next year down in the draft & proceed.

No to this idea.
