I really hope its good news..what a wild Tuesday Jimmy Graham Seahawks,Torrey Smith 49ers,Frank Gore Colts,Haloti Nqata Lions,Julius Thomas, Jaguars Sam Bradford Eagles,Nick Foles Rams what will happen next? hey there's no loyalty among Teams or players its kinda sad
the NFL needs to fix this..this is getting out of hand now the money being tossed around is just insane,i mean the lack of loyalty is something i don't get ( really how much money do the players need ) the NFL coach's merry go round its just same old same old more or less
interesting if that's true I wonder what the Vikings could get for him....he's been a major disappointment IMO
what do think about the Vikings getting Mike Wallace,i'm not sure if it was a good move or bad but the Vikings need to draft a wr, o-linemen,and get Teddy a shiny new toy a bad azz te
Well, he's decent and we can only hope he clicks with Bridgewater and is one of those guy's where a change of scenery turns out to be a good thing.
Jennings is a cap hit casualty..now draft a wr,Cam Newton could use another wr he does have good hands and he's a good route runner unlike CP the Vikings will survive this... no big loss here
its just AMAZING to me that AP dad is still talking,tell me please when will the AP madness end it just goes on and on with no end in sight,i really expect Rodger ( the Dodger ) Goodell to step in and keep this nightmare going
By Gregg Rosenthal; Adrian Peterson is under contract with the Minnesota Vikings for three more seasons. Yet nearly everything written about him this offseason has treated him like a free agent, available to the highest bidder. With one full week of free agency over, depth charts are filling up and salary cap space is being used. The Vikings have made it clear they want Peterson back, and it's possible they are running out the clock on him. Peterson appears more likely to stay with the team with each passing day. Here's why: Release is not an option: From ownership on down, the Vikings have said they want Peterson back. General manager Rick Spielman said in February that he "expects" Peterson to be part of the team, and that was with the full realization that his running back is due $12.75 million this season. The Wilfs have paid Peterson a lot of money over the years, including last season. Getting rid of Peterson at this stage without getting anything in return is the type of transaction that gets a general manager fired. The "football" people in Minnesota all want Peterson back because he's the best player at his position until proven otherwise. Most money in Minnesota: The Arizona Cardinals are interested in Peterson, but his contract is reportedly a problem for them. The Dallas Cowboys make sense as a potential destination, but they have salary cap issues of their own. The Vikings have shown a willingness to pay Peterson well above any running back in the league. Is another team out there ready to do that? Peterson's agent surely has gauged his client's value behind the scenes, and would push to go elsewhere if the money was better. Peterson would likely have to take less money to leave town. Limited suitors: Adrian Peterson's father mentioned the Cowboys, Colts and Cardinals as teams he heard "rumors" about back in February. Indianapolis has since signed Frank Gore. Arizona and Dallas have salary concerns. The Buccaneers and Jaguars also make sense as potential suitors, but would Peterson want to join a rebuilding team? When projecting Peterson's future, consider what teams would have to give up to get him: A high draft pick and a big contract. That is a heavy price tag at a time of year when everyone (over)values draft picks. Willingness to talk: Peterson and the Vikings continue to have a dialogue. That alone is a great sign that the two sides can come to an agreement, even if Peterson has expressed misgivings about returning to the team. The running back welcomed coach Mike Zimmer and Spielman into his home for a long sitdown. The Vikings have an intriguing young franchise quarterback and move into a new stadium in 2016. They have had one winning season since 2009 and would love to hit their new stadium as a winner in order to sell tickets. It wouldn't hurt to have their franchise legend aboard for the ride. Most likely outcome NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported in February that the running back feels he lost around $10 million between endorsements and salary last season. If Minnesota guaranteed some of his 2016 salary, that would go a long way toward mending the relationship. And that's the most likely outcome here: A restructured contract in Minnesota that gives Peterson more security. The Vikings don't want this situation to drag out all offseason, and would love to get Peterson back on the field before workouts. Peterson's father has said publicly that his son has not requested a trade. There have been no reports of the Vikings shopping Peterson because they want him on the roster. Back in September, we never would have guessed that Peterson could have enough leverage to get more money out of the Vikings for a possible return to Minnesota. But the Vikings want him back, and they want to win in 2015. They know that keeping Peterson gives them the best shot to do so.
its looking like AP will be a Viking..his contract is a big problem for some teams if he does go to some team they will pay dearly makes me wonder,is there any team willing to pay the cost to get the AP? so far its looking pretty good....BUT YOU NEVER KNOW Ricky just loves to wheel and deal
i hope the Vikings really mean it about AP,time to get this done its starting to take to long...and who is this DuJuan Harris?
NFI.com is a trip its like everybody has an opinion about the Vikings and AP,two players from the GOPHERS i would like to be Vikings is rb David Cobb and te Maxx Williams ( sp ).......Jerick McKinnon wants to be the man can he really be a workhorse type rb?
Not a bad idea. I like when a team drafts close to home. The stories about AP never end. Every day brings another round. I'm really quite tired of it already.
Ive seen Harris play some decent football for the Packers. He was the guy that had the long braids running out of the backfield. I havnt seen him in a while tho, but he is one of those pick-ups for depth just in case AP doesnt return, i guess.
