    DeAngelo Williams cut. A. Peterson not Returning To Vikings

    There's 2 more out on the market.

    Petersons agent supposedly had a heated altercation with a Vikings official at the combine and said his client is done there.

    Sign Peterson and take some of the heat off of Incognito. Might help in the locker room, if Ritchie gets out of line Adrian can take a switch to his ballsack.

      No thanks on Williams. Peterson would be awesome.

        Sign AP ASAP!...We can still get at least 2 more good years out of him.

          If Murray is unable to work out a deal with Dallas, Peterson would almost be automatic there.

            If AP goes over the line with his switch selection, we can just sign Ray Rice and have him take AP into an elevator. This might be a problem for Rice though, with AP not being a chick and all.

              If the Vikings want Peterson, who is still under contract, to play in Minnesota, he can stay home & not play. If I was Minnesota's management I'd make it clear to him that he's either playing for the Vikings or he's not playing at all. I'd also file tampering charges against Jerry Jones. All he's doing is trying to get released so he could play for Dallas.

                His cap hit is 15.4 Mil. Food for thought.

                  Not if he refuses to play.

                    Peterson's set to count close to $15 million (or more) against the cap under his current contract. Sorry that's way too much for a RB. I know he's the best in the league but it isn't worth it. As we saw under Gailey and even Marrone's first year having a great running attack won't win in this league. Heck what has AP ever lead the Vikings to? Personally I think Williams would be more affordable and a legitimate option to replace Spiller as he's using to splitting time and been relatively healthy in his career and shown he can get close to 800 yards per year in a limited role. I realize he isn't a power runner but think he'd be a good compliment to what we already have here.

                      Don't see where I said we should trade for him. 15.4 means no one is trading for him. I'm talking about after he gets released if that happens

                        AP can skip all offseason workouts, minicamp etc at very little cost to himself.

                        He can skip much of training camp as well without it costing him too much.

                        Then when he finally reports, he can act like Blount did in Pittsburgh.

                          Is the 15.4 the Vikings' cap hit? How much is actual salary and how much prorated bonus? We'd only deal with the salary part, right?

                            Listing the top salaries, cap hits, cash, earnings, contracts, and bonuses, for all active NFL players.


                            AP's base is $12.75mil, total cash $13mil.
