Davis Explains Why The Vikings Are The Ideal Landing Spot For Adrian Peterson

I can't remember if KC was most comfortable under center or in the shotgun? I certainly recall where AP was at his best. 

Gotta be the dead period for something like this to get any airplay...He'll re-sign here for a day and retire a Viking I'd imagine. 

if he will take $2 million a year and Latavius wants more touches and money, seems like a no brainer. Abdullah, boone or thomas as the 3rd RB

Never know, with a rebuilt OL and a passing game 28# could have one more grear Viking run

sure...  ;) B)  

Between this and PFT pretending there could be a Keenum for Cousins trade or somesuch b.s., I guess it's officially NFL silly season.

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would entertain this idea at all...

As one of the biggest AD defenders around, less the indefensible, I'm still in the thanks for the memories see you in Canton mode. I don't want him back. I hope he finishes somewhere though.

I see no reason whatsoever for the Vikings to get Peterson. I love Peterson but no just no.

Not that I'm for it. Just why is it beyond consideration? We have a opening for a  RB when Murray leaves and he did gain almost as much as our 2 combined.

Like Murray who wants to compete for a starting job, Peterson is and always has been under the same mindset.  He wants to start too.  In reality, AP would be an expensive backup.

2018
Murray base: $3.6 million.
Peterson base: $1 million.

I agree though AD would never consider himself a backup. That's a big draw back. 
At league min again. If he would. That couldn't be beyond consideration.

We have our featured back and the faces of our offense, no way do I see AP coming back here and accepting a diminished role and expecting to he treated like the face of the team.   He might expect Less in other cities but not when he goes "home".

As I said at the start here I'm not for it. I agree he will likely want more money then he made last year. From anybody not just us. He did have 1000 yards and 4.2 per. That was his prove it or still got it season. In his mind at least. Whether any team thinks so. ??? I just mentioned it because he had more then either of our two and our feature back is yet to play a full season. I am ready to move on from him. I just hope he finds a home if he wants to play.

I think our lack of an oline wouldn't have allowed him to be near that number in minny unless the O made him the feature again and we know that doesnt pay off in today's NFL

For a team that has offensive line problems, adding a back that cannot block would seem like a bad choice.

I hear ya----he was a great back but is long in the tooth.   Could still be a player , but would create a schism on the team to get hi more touches the first time Cook isn't putting up fantasy numbers
