OT: Adrian Peterson traded to Cardinals
October 10th, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
Can't see Peterson adding much value to any team anymore.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
The Cardinals are in desperate need of a back who can run between the tackles, this may be one of the few if not the only team where he would actually be valuable.
October 10th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
Agreed. At the very least, it's a better fit then the Saints were.
October 10th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
that AP is pretty much washed and has been for the last 2 years plus this season. He's not good anymore.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:11 PM ^

To follow the path of Edgerrin James and Emmitt Smith.

I always hate seeing athletes end their careers with more confidence in their abilities than they should. Add his Saints jersey to Randy Moss' Titans jersey and Jerry Rice's Broncos to the bin of "Oh yeah, he played there."

Also See, T.O. Bengals
October 10th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
He still had some monster games on the Bengals...but I get what you're saying.

Viking, child abuser, Saint, Cardinal. Next up...Pope! It's the natural progression.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:35 PM ^
I got a good laugh out of that one.
The Devil is probably following that after Pope, but Saban will have to step down from that post at some point.

His legs are.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:35 PM ^
Good news for Alvin Kamara owners?
October 10th, 2017 at 12:42 PM ^
October 10th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
I actually think this is a good move for both parties. He can probably play in Arizona (though he won't be a star), and New Orleans can run with Ingram and Kamara, who fit their system better.
October 10th, 2017 at 1:31 PM ^
He'll get playing time in Arizona but I'm not sure anyone can run productively there behind that line. Hell, David Johnson (clearly better than Peterson at this point) only managed 4.2 per carry last year, and the line's worse now.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:42 PM ^
I am no fan of AP - since the details emerged about how he abused his son, I really dislike him - but the guy should have retired before last season. He is a shell of his former self, and while he will go down as one of the great RB of his generation, he is really going out at a low point.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:45 PM ^
Stinks how AP's year has gone thus far. I drafted him on my fantasy team thinking that history has shown whenever AP comes back from an injury, he comes back with a vengeance. But he may be at a point where it's time to hang up the pads.
I can see why the Cardinals took a chance on him, probably thinking that maybe this is the place where he can revive his career. If he's even half as good as he used to be, he can be a huge asset to them. But this may be the last season we see All Day suit up in the NFL.

Sounds like it is time to retire.

as the Saints played the Vikings in the season opener, you could just tell that Peterson wasn't long for the Saints. I mean he was in the ear of anyone who would listent that he ought to be carrying the ball on every run play. I think he got 6 carries in that game against his old team. The NFL has a way of grinding up the best and not offering much solace on the way out no matter what a guy thinks he has left in the tank. And it's really hard when you've been a star at every level.
And so for the guys that leave the game on their own accord, I give much respect even if we miss their work on the field. It says more about us than them.
October 10th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
somewhat of a rejuv of his career...not huge, but i could see him doing ok there.
October 10th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
As someone who owns both him and David Johnson in fantasy, I feel like this works out relatively well for me.
October 10th, 2017 at 4:35 PM ^
Hopefully you have David Johnson on IR becuase he prob won't be back this year with the way Arizona is playing.
