AD Heads To A More Camel Friendly Region
Adrian Peterson - RB - Cardinals
Cardinals acquired Adrian Peterson from the Saints in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
It is something of a surprise after the Saints RBs coach talked up Peterson during the bye week, but the move makes sense on both sides. Peterson was never a fit in New Orleans, and his departure opens up touches for both Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. The Cardinals need to find a way to jump-start the running game, and Peterson is a good fit in their power scheme. That said, it is not a given Peterson has any more success than Chris Johnson behind a bad offensive line, and Arizona is likely to remain a pass-heavy attack. Peterson is now worth rostering in all leagues, but Jerick McKinnon and Aaron Jones are better adds.

Now CJdoucheK and he can be former 2k RBs together grinding out 2.5-3 ypc. Seriously though, AD should at least get a better opportunity in AZ to prove he still has something... or not.
and he thought he was worth 18 million or what ever it was.... pfft, reality slap to the face.
I'm just glad he wasn't traded back to us. I never took that suggestion seriously, but you just never know...
from one so-so team to a struggling team. Not a pretty way to go.
Oh well, he isn't a Viking anymore so I really have ceased to care about him.

I guess not. Apparently they thought AD is STILL better than Johnson so they released him.

so AD wins the pissing contest once again....
the best of the formerly great RB club? CJ has been the leader of that for many years, AD just finally joined the club and dethroned him.

nah, the contract club, remember when they were trying to see who had the biggest dick by who got the bigger money. cj got his and then the Vikes topped it for AD. it meant something to them at the time.

He won't care. he just wants touches, not really championships. How do I know Adrian is about Adrian? His dad texted me when Cook went down and said, "You think there is any way that the Vikings might trade for Adrian?"
I don't have near that type of pull or insight, but knew the divorce was final, as Adrian had played the victim for too long here.
Don't wish him poorly there, but don't wish him to light it up either. He needs to learn to be a bit more humble about a high-paying NFL opportunity, that few get to dream of, or even realize. He did not treat the Vikings well the last few years, yet blamed them for his problems. He carried this team under Childress and Frazier and Ponder. But, he also held us back from having a balanced, NFL offense. And the latter, is not really his fault.
A buddy of mine is a huge Cardinals fan. Mainly because of Larry Fitzgerald. His father in law is a huge Saints fan, and my buddy made fun of him for the Saints signing Peterson. Should be interesting at family get togethers at his house.
Anyway, good luck Adrian. I can actually hope you do well now that you aren't a Saint. (the team, not an actual Saint)
Alrighty then. Whatever.
As far as that comment about Dalvin,
Too bad the Vikes don't have the Cards on the schedule. It would've been interesting to see AD vs the Vikes twice this year.

Looks like that could be a lot sooner than 5-10 years.Bank files lawsuit against Adrian Peterson over $2.4M loan

Doesn't mean he is insolvent, or doesn't have money, he has just elected to thumb his nose at his financial commitments and obligations. Like many athletes, Adrian is not "a business man" nor having a deep knowledge about finances. Given he paid it down to $596k, you'd think he'd want to resolve that, than lose in court, or be forced to declare bankruptcy (which he can't claim in this case, because NO and AZ are giving him $2M+ to play, and that will resolve this loan). The question will soon arise, how many other people does he owe?
