Patrick Peterson is a Minnesota Viking. This is a high-risk, high-reward move from Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman, giving $10 million to a former superstar whose play has slipped the past two seasons. They're going all in on rebuilding the defense. Story:

Low risk, high reward.  fixed it. of course, its not my money.

@DWolfsonKSTP could there be void years included in Peterson’s deal? That seems to be a common thing in deals this year

Zim's track record with older CBs is pretty good. Newman, Pacman, Hall to name a few.

One question from the Peterson signing is what it could mean for Mike Hughes, who only played 4 games last year after his neck injury in the 2019 regular-season finale. The #Vikings would save $1.1M by cutting Hughes, though a source said he’s feeling good in offseason training.Show this thread

On CB Patrick Peterson to the #Vikings...

Like the fit for Peterson at this stage of his career.

Will still see man reps, but that’s a heavy split-safety defense. Quarters, Cover 2/6. Safeties over the top, driving on in-breakers.

Veteran leader in the DB room, too.

Patrick Peterson is heading from a Cardinals' D that ran the most Man coverage last season (extremely Man-1 heavy) to a Zimmer Vikings' Cover-2 Zone scheme.

He'll have more help and should be positioned for a bounceback campaign under an elite defensive coach.

In 2012, former pro bowler & first round pick Terence Newman was waived by the Cowboys after 2 down years. Newman was turning 34, coming off a year where he ranked 103/125 CBs by PFF grade.

Zimmer's Bengals signed him for cheap. Newman bounced back big time, ranking 32/118 CBs.

draft a OT (Slater) and DE (3rd Rd) with the first two picks.  

sign a vet G for a modest deal (Taylor)
