Adrian Peterson rumors, link to Colts (merge)

[bap1331]

Things are heating up for a trade to the colts!

[jvan1973]

highly doubt that

[bap1331]

highly doubt that

Cmon. Hes in the prime of his career, front office has 40 million, get key players on defense.

Bill bellichick will have nightmares at night about how the defense is going to stop this high powered offense.

[HtownColt]

Ain't happening

[bestQBever]

I wish...

The kids in naptown will have nightmares too if Peterson ends up there

How do we know he's still in the prime of his career?  He'll be 30 when the season starts, and already has 2000+ attempts and 10000+ yards.  That's a lot of wear and tear on him.  Plus, he spent all of last year away from the game.

[Colts_Fan12]

How about no

[RealityIsLuck]

No way we trade for him.. Just wait until they release, and pitch Indy to him!

[Colts_Fan12]

again how about no

[jvan1973]

again how about no

why would you not want Peterson?

[Colts_Fan12]

why would you not want Peterson?

We would have to trade for him cause I really don't see min cutting him and even if they did cut him he could still prolly get alot of money less but still to much for me

I'm also in the group that would rather fix the line and get a cheap good back that would do the job fine instead of a great back

A 30 year old running back with one knee surgery and one missed season due to abusing his own child is in "the prime of his career"?!?

 

Where do you get this stuff?

 

According to Bill Polian,  agents and front office people nearly getting into fights is very routine, very common stuff.

 

The only difference in this case is that it became public.   Most of the time, it happens behind closed doors.

 

In other words,  no big deal.

[12isthenew18]

if he gets cut get him don't take his contract

[BigQandTheManiac]

Peterson made one mistake..he deserves a second chance..he's only 29 if I'm not mistaken. Not even 30 yet, have shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon before he was suspended .So that "age" thing that some of you bring up, you can get off it. Was nobody complaining about his age before the incident. He's well rested after playing only half of season. Why would you not want Peterson on your team??? Maybe aside from his contract.

[pgt_rob]

Will more than likely be tooo much cash. We have tons of holes to fill.

He's on the tail end of his career.  I'd maybe give up a 5th for him on the condition that his contract can be renegotiated to lower his pay to something a little more reasonable. 

 

Given the downward trend of RB salaries, his stands out like a sore thumb as being excessive.

 

The dude plays the cheapest position outside of kicker and punter on the field and he's drawing quarterback money.  Almost 15 M per year.

AP2k would be AP2ypc behind our line

[ColtsLegacy]

AP2k would be AP2ypc behind our line

False. Anyone not named Richardson averaged ~4YPC behind said line and Peterson is still a top 3-4 back.

And who refers to him as AP2k anyway? That's just lazy after CJ2k. AD doesn't need the 2k to remind people he was once good, as Johnson does.

[ColtsLegacy]

I'd consider that a positive. He should be fresh with a years rest for his body. And I highly doubt he was sitting around watching Desperate Housewives reruns and eating cheeseburgers the whole year.

If Vikings were to trade Adrian Peterson, his dad Nelson said he's heard "rumors" of possible teams being interested: Arizona, Indy, Dallas

Probably nothing. Just passing it along.

[PrincetonTiger]

Not sure what to think

[CR91]

depends what exactly we would trade them if Id be ok with this. if we can keep luck ty AC and vontae then fine.

[chad hugo]

Fleener or D.Allen + picks...hope not

[SilentHill]

um.

 

He's do 13 million this season with a cap hit of 15 million.

[HtownColt]

Not with that salary

[PrincetonTiger]

Fleener or D.Allen + picks...hope not

No

um.

 

He's do 13 million this season with a cap hit of 15 million.

Please No

[Dustin]

whew

[Track Guy]

Peterson for Cherlius and a 3rd round pick.

[csmopar]

um.

He's do 13 million this season with a cap hit of 15 million.

If Grigson does this trade without somehow lowering that cap hit....then he needs smacked in the testicals.

Just wondering with Dallas not have the cap room for Murray , how can he be rumored going there. I've seen this before and I think it makes no sense and is far fetched. AZ is also tight on the cap but they maybe can make room by tweaking a few more contracts. I've read nothing that says Peterson is willing to  play for peanuts if traded to a contender or his favorite team ... the Cowboys.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Fleener or D.Allen + picks...hope not

NOOOOO

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Peterson for Cherlius and a 3rd round pick.

Yes

[antipatriot]

For sure not at his current salary and to be honest I don't respect the guy anymore after his off field incident, that is one of those incidents I really didn't like.  So I would have to say nah pass.

[pgt_rob]

Yikes. Too much for a 30 year old RB. Better off getting a RB in the draft.

[Colts_Fan12]

At that age and salary hell no

[12isthenew18]

i'll trade this cough drop and a mousepad i'm using

[oldunclemark]

At that age and salary hell no

Do not want him under any circumstances..certainly not if we have to trade for him...

[Colts_Fan12]

Do not want him under any circumstances..certainly not if we have to trade for him...

exactly who knows what we would give up for him Vikings would prolly want more then he is worth

[RockThatBlue]

At that age and salary hell no

Agreed
