There has been a lot of talk about Adrian Peterson being traded to another team. This is a result of the team going 1-5 as of thus far in the 2013 season. But what exactly could the Minnesota Vikings get for Peterson? Well according to Greg Garber on espn.com, the Vikings could trade Adrian Peterson to the New York Giants for two players and two 2014 draft picks. The two players being Justin Tuck (defensive end), and David Wilson (running back). The two draft picks being a second round and a fifth round pick. Now of course this is all just talk. None of this may ever happen. But just for fun, here's another one:
In an article by Tom Downey on chatsports.com writes that Peterson could go to the Dallas Cowboys for, get this, two players, a second and third round pick, and THREE first round picks.
Now, this seems to be a lot for a 28 year old running back who has four, or maybe five more really good seasons left. Then again, it IS Adrian Peterson we are talking about. He is debatably the best running back of our time, if not, all time. But, to restate, this is all just a rumor. The fact is that Adrian Peterson is the best player that the Minnesota Vikings have right now. There is no reason to trade away your best player, unless Tom Downey's prediction is true. However that isn't realistic in this day and age.
So to all you Vikings fans, you can all rest your little heads. Adrian Peterson isn't going anywhere anytime soon. However, if you have any ideas as to where Peterson should be traded and for what, leave it in the comments below.

ReplyDeleteNever have I been so excited to watch a Vikings game until Adrian Peterson came to play. Having him on the Vikes is something that really has helped fan growth, and really has given us (fan base) someone to look forward to watch. With his talent, he deserve better. I really wish the rest of the team could step up to Peterson's potential. A waste of talent when he can't go anywhere, or do anything. Half of his game has came from a decently good Viking's Offense, but now, that has changed. Poor blocking, play calling, and overall effort has stopped Peterson and the Vikings. Wish they'd figure it out.
ReplyDeleteyes! Adrian Peterson is the best running back in the NFL and has the potential to break a numerous amount of running back records. The problem is, the Minnesota Vikings offense of line is brudal. Its tough for AP to break through holes that aren't there. I would love to see him run behind a more stable offense of line and see what numbers he could put up. He's a Hall of Fame running back, I say trade him and let him shine.
