On come on Randle for Murray? I don't think Minn is that stupid. AP had 1,266 yards in 2013 a big slide in terms of his production and those 2 years do mean something. I see this as a butt in the seats move yes fans will love it AP is coming home but he is still an older back on the downhill side of his career. It has been moves like this that has hurt Dallas not helped them. I flattered he wants to come to Dallas but no way would I give up anything to get him.
As I said, if Minnesota knows it's going to release him anyway, the Vikings are not dealing from a position of strength. Is it not better to get a backup running back who averaged 6.7 yards per carry last year and might could start instead of nothing?
I don't think the Vikings would go into this expecting someone to give them a first-round pick at this point in Peterson's career. At most, they would be expecting something like what the Patriots paid for Randy Moss.
You can say this is a "butt in the seats move," but I believe Peterson is still a better back than Murray and if the price is right (less than what Murray wants), then I see this as a move Dallas could make to maintain its running game for the next year or two while not committing as much money to it.
If the price is equal to what Murray wants, I'd probably go with Murray because he has less wear and tear and possibly more years remaining on his career. However, he also has missed games because of injury every year but 2014 and has the fumble issues.
