Vikings reportedly ready to let Peterson go in 2015

[dfense]

ESPN reports the Vikings owe 12.75 million to Adrian next season. To a 30 year old running back at that.

Could you imagine Peterson and Murray keeping each other fresh for a whole season??

Yes please.

No way that wasn't going to happen....

 

[SDCowboy]

If we could afford him, and he came at the right price, maybe.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I see no reason to get Peterson if Murray is younger and dishing this kind of attack.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

No thanks. Unless he is willing to come here for peanuts, and I mean real cheap. I'd rather have Murray anyway. We don't need to be chasing after the Suhs and Petersons.

 

[Jstopper]

It depends on what kind of contract he wants. We're probably gonna have to pay Murray handsomely, and you don't want to be paying 2 rb a big contract, cuz that's stupid

 

[wileedog]

That's going to be a lot of cap money tied up in two RBs. Overkill IMO.

The money is better spent elsewhere.

what if peterson were cheaper? let's say he comes in on a major discount and saves us 20 mill compared to murray.

 

[AbeBeta]

Absolutely not. He may be a great player but I can't root for him.

 

[reddyuta]

AD is old but he has a few years left in him and he is better than murray in every way,i would keep my option open if Murray is let go.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You can't justify getting rid of the leading rusher in the NFL who's 3 or 4 years younger. That would be foolish. Now if they want to consider a running back tandem of Peterson and Murray? I'd be more intrigued about but that would of course come with Peterson taking a major pay cut he shouldn't be willing to do.

 

[Deep_South]

We have to sign Murray, so I don't think there is any way Jerry takes a serious look at Peterson. You can bet he would love to run with our OL and a QB like Tony, though.

Tag Murray at 9 mil and make him earn a contract............................again.

 

[Risen Star]

And Peterson is a much better player. It's not even close.

 

[reddyuta]

yeah they are not going to tag a RB,its out of question.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Nope.

I would rather have Murray, Dunbar and Randle.

Especially if Dunbar starts to become better at picking up blitzes. He's another guy that is a tough mismatch for opposing defenses when it comes to catching passes out of the backfield.

Peterson looked like he lost a step in that first game and being away from football for a year won't help that. Unless the price was right I'd say no. MJD is the same age and been terrible so far. 30 is rough for RBs

This is the kind of move jerry has been killed for in the past
