Adrian Peterson wants to be traded to 1 of 5 teams, one in the NFC south

[KSpan]

Let's hope he stays out of Tampa Bay. Don't want to face an offense consisting of Jameis Winston, Adrian Peterson, Vincent Jackson, and Mike Evans

Interesting bit of useless trivia - in 4 career games against Carolina, he's not had more than 83 rushing yards, and the 2009 team held him to 35 yards on 12 carries.

Soooo...about that other big runningback news we heard yesterday...

 

 

You talking about CJ Spiller saying he wasn't going back to Buffalo?

Actually, he looks to be lobbying for Chip Kelly to give him a call.

 

I'm guessing he heard there was an opening there

both AP and Lovie Smith were born and raised in small Texas towns located just 70 miles from each other...and they both played college football in Oklahoma, where they were both All-Americans

Also, both Peterson's dad and the new OC of the Bucs (Dirk Koetter) were at Idaho State in the early 1980s, where one was on the basketball team (AP's dad) and the other on the football team (Koetter)

I actually wouldn't mind TB trading valuable draft picks to acquire AP.  Sure, he may be a bear to deal with for a season or two, but he's a 29 year old RB who has been ran HARD his entire career.  That tread has to be wearing thin.  Panthers fans well know the dangers of big money RBs.

I'd want to pay in Florida too... income taxes

[jtnc]

I can't wait until he's traded and The Bucs are heralded again as the team to "watch out for" by the media.

[blackcat]

If he lands in Tampa, we'll be fine, unless DG populates the defense with children.  The he will whip us savagely.

Florida has no income taxes, but the overall tax burden of living in Florida is just middle of the road, around #25 of the 50 states. Best overall tax burden of those five teams would be Texas, which is Top 10. Plus, AP grew up a huge Cowboy fan not far from Dallas

Yep.  Remember when Atlanta landed an aging Steven Jackson and everyone thought that was going to be their missing piece?

[RickyManningJr]

Peterson is a moron.  He legitimately believes he did nothing wrong.

[Jangler]

What are the child abuse laws like down in Florida?

 

 

somebody ask Casey Anderson on twitter!

Stand your ground. Just have to tell the judge "he was coming right for me!"

Who else did we have to worry about though? In Tampa with the weapons I mentioned with him, it would be much harder to hold him to >100 when we have to worry about passing much more than in minny
