Peterson may want to go to the desert, but unless they've completely given up on Ellington, I doubt the Cards really want to dish out the money for him.

AP lives in Houston. Too bad the Texans have a RB, as I would not mind the Vikes trading AP for Andre Johnson. I believe the cap hit is similar. They are both aging players who are unhappy with their current team. I would love AJ on the Vikes. We have a need for a #1 WR.

I am reading that the Cards cut Dockett to create cap room to trade for AP.

The cards cut Dockett, the rumor is that it was to make room for an AP trade, though nothing is confirmed so its essentially just an assumption at this point.

 

I would think that the Vikings would only part with him for draft picks, and try to build a receiving corps around their new young stud Teddy. I don't really see an aging great as the answer for them, or something they would be particularly interested in.

I prefer getting draft picks but the Vikes will have a difficult time getting a team to trade high draft picks for an aging RB with such a big cap number.

Adrian reminds me of Eric Dickerson when he came here....the only thing is he would be playing with AL and thats a HUGE difference. If your a LB what do you do on that play fake??? I mean they would HAVE to cheat up...and even a modest upgrade on the OL and AP is a 1500 yd rusher. I don't see him getting to FA but if he did it would make a ton of sense to pay the man. The one weakness that NE has is their run defense....pound AP at them and keep Tom off the field. I don't think it will happen but there are RBs...and then there are HOF RBs....he is the last of a dying breed...and he still has juice.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
