Adrian Peterson Is Perplexed That People Doubt Him

... block in others. titimium says. Feb 24, 2017 3:49 PM. He didn’t understand beating his son severely with a stick was wrong. He barely knew about his kid in South Dakota before the baby was killed by the mother’s boyfriend. He was publicly very confused when fans in MN didn’t like him after the child abuse. He is not strongly connected to reality. bradygirl 12 says. Feb 24, 2017 3:54 PM. When you start getting long in the tooth and piling up season-ending injuries, teams start to lose interest. I know he still has something left in the tank, but I think his best days are behind him. sdsmooth says. Feb 24, 2017 3:58 PM. I hear ya AP. Go figure.

Adrian Peterson Is Free Agent, But Days With Vikings

... win a Super Bowl championship with a great team, which I also believe we have in Minnesota.”. In his statement, Spielman did not rule out Peterson, who turns 32 on March 21, returning to the Vikings. “Adrian is an important part of the Minnesota Vikings organization,” Spielman said. “We will continue to have conversations with his representatives and leave our future options open while determining what is best for both parties moving forward.”. Peterson’s father said Spielman and Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, will talk at the NFL scouting combine, which began Tuesday in Indianapolis and runs through Monday. Nelson Peterson said the Vikings have not proposed any contract terms to the running back, who made $12 million in 2016, and he declined to say what type of deal he would need to stay in Minnesota. “The Vikings will make an offer and the offer they make will determine if they want Adrian Peterson, their all-time leading rusher, and a hall of famer, to finish his career in Minnesota,’ said Nelson Peterson. “The only way it won’t work out is if the Vikings lowball him.’. Still, as his son touched upon in his statement, Nelson Peterson said Minnesota ...

Feb 28, 2017 1:09 PM. “G. M. Jerry Reese would do the deal only if the price is right.”. With each passing year I am having a harder time with seeing Reese and right in the same sentence.

Adrian Peterson Not The Answer To Seahawks' Rushing Woes

... from 2006 to 2008. Pete Carroll made it clear in January getting the run game back on track will be a priority for the Seattle Seahawks this offseason. But Adrian Peterson is not the answer. The Minnesota Vikings announced Tuesday they will not be picking up Peterson's option , meaning he will be an unrestricted free agent on March 9. Last year, the Seahawks finished 23 rd in rushing efficiency , and the team's running backs averaged 3.83 YPC (24 th). There were several reasons why the run game struggled. According to coaches, Russell Wilson 's injuries were the biggest factor. Wilson ran for a career-low 259 yards because of ankle and knee injuries. Clearly, the threat of him as a runner has helped the ground game over the years. But he wasn't able to contribute much in that respect in 2016. Meanwhile, the run blocking clearly needs a lot of work. Seahawks running backs averaged 2.26 yards before contact, which ranked 18 th. And the team was hurt by injuries in the backfield. Seattle had 18 different players carry the ball. Former running backs coach Sherman Smith said Marshawn Lynch made a lot of wrong things look right when he was the back. The Seahawks didn't have ...

... agent when the new league year begins.  Also earlier today, the Kansas City Chiefs announced that they released Jamaal Charles, making him a free agent immediately.

Potential Landing Spots For Adrian Peterson

... flirtation. Under Ben Mc Adoo, the Giants are a shotgun-heavy attack with three receivers and no fullback in the base offense. Mc Adoo would have to take an eraser to his monstrous play-call sheet if Peterson signed. Perhaps it's time to lean on his stout defense and an improved ground attack, making life easier for a declining Eli Manning. 3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs are not only on Peterson's list of approved teams, but might also be in the market for a workhorse running back. The team could opt to cut ties with Doug Martin after the 2015 Pro Bowler landed in the league's suspension protocol with a late-season drug issue. Unlike New York, Tampa Bay wouldn't have to overhaul the offensive philosophy to feature Peterson as the lead runner. 4. Oakland Raiders: The Raiders are ushering Latavius Murray to the open ...

Latest On Jay Cutler, Adrian Peterson, Russell Okung

... at New York Giants. Will Jay Cutler retire? (Brad Penner | USA TODAY Sports). Jets must fire Darrelle Revis. Here is the latest scuttlebutt. Would Jay Cutler retire? The Bears want to trade  the aging, declining quarterback. But odds are, no team will bite on that. Meanwhile, Cutler is considering retirement, according  to NFL Network. Of course, the Bears could always - and probably will - release Cutler if they're not able to find a trade partner. And retirement would give Cutler an out if a desirable (in his eyes) team doesn't want to trade for him. Or if no desirable team wants to sign him, should he become a free agent, he also could retire. Does he really want to play for a rebuilding organization like the Jets ? Cutler, who turns 34 in April, has earned $112 million during his career. Since he didn't have a signing bonus in his latest Bears contract, he wouldn't have to pay back any of the $54 million he has made from the deal over the past three years. Will Adrian Peterson  become a free agent? Vikings general manager Rick Spielman told reporters Thursday he's not sure what he'll do with the aging running back this ...

Adrian Peterson And Jamaal Charles To Hit Free Agency, Should The Ravens Bring Either Of Them To Baltimore

... as an injury-prone liability.". For these reasons, Peterson’s price very well could drop. The longer Peterson sits on the market the better chance the Ravens have of signing him. Newsome will only sign the injury prone former star if his price drops enough. In addition, former Kansas City Chiefs running back  Jamaal Charles was released on Tuesday. — Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) February 28, 2017. Charles has had similar injury problems to Peterson. In fact Charles injury issues may be even more concerning than Peterson’s. Jamaal Charles Rush Attempts – Last 5 Seasons. 2016 12. — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStats Info) February 28, 2017. Charles is 30 years old, and was set to incur a cap hit of over $6 million next season. The Chiefs have seemed to move on from Charles as, when he was healthy, Spencer Ware remained the starting running back. Charles market will be nearly identical to Peterson’s. Some GM’s who are in desperate need of a running back may be willing to dish out more money than most for Charles, but most will have concerns over his injury history. I’d be surprised if Charles receives more than a one year deal worth $4 million or less. Either Peterson or ...
