He reportedly told the local media that he is worth more than Sherman:

 

The Cardinals cornerback told reporters Monday that he's worth even more than what the Seahawks paid their All-Pro defender and hopes that Arizona realizes that, too, per ESPN.com.

"We'll see," Peterson said. "Got to ask the Cardinals. I mean, I think I am but at the end of the day both sides have to agree to terms and we'll see what those terms are and hopefully sooner than later."

Set to earn $2.88 million this season and $10 million in 2015, Peterson acknowledged that his camp is in early talks with the Cardinals over an extension of his rookie deal, adding: "I'm making OK money right now, but I'm just not making his money right now."

"I'm making OK money right now, but I'm just not making his money right now."

 

 

Guys I know these players need to get paid and all, and I'm usually a staunch proponent of them getting their fair share of the pie, because we all know that the greedy owners do, but I just don't like that statement. And, as a result, I don't like his attitude. I could go on and on about corporate greed and social ills, but I'm gonna just leave it at that. Peterson, with his "OK" money needs to stop talking about "his money right now" (pun intended).

Greed and envy have poisoned many NFL players, especially at the WR and DB positions.  It's always about who's contract is bigger then yours.  Peterson is good, but he's nowhere near as good as Sherman, he's just bailed out because he's faster.

Players see contracts as a way of determining pecking order.

Two years younger than Haden and Sherman. The cap will be going up real soon. If he has another great season, he'll get his wish. But it's not smart to make comments to the media. If Peterson has a poor season, everyone will say he's too concerned about the money instead of his game.

 

I never see Cam talk about his contract.

Lol. Guy is above average.

 

I think he's bordering on the "elite" level. Sherman is obviously a great CB - but he's also a part of the best secondary in the entire league. Peterson also benefits from being a spectacular return man and for the most part the NFC West doesn't really have an elite WR. I'd certainly put PP in the top 3-5 at his position and I'm probably leaning more towards T3.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
