Six teams reportedly interested in trading for Adrian Peterson

...and two of them are division rivals.

According to one report, the options are Arizona, Atlanta, Dallas, Jacksonville, San Diego and Tampa Bay. Those are the six teams named by an anonymous source who told the Pioneer Press that a trade could get done before or during the draft, but probably wouldn’t happen after that if it hasn’t happened by then.

The Raiders have been mentioned as an option before but this source doesn't list them.

Jacksonville already said they had zero interest today.

 

Dallas says they have no plans to trade draft picks for a veteran player. That's a non-denial denial though.

 

Peterson's agent posted a picture of himself sitting in front of a Peterson jersey while wearing a Bucs hat with the caption "Game on" to facebook last night.

 

Arizona makes some sense and have been linked before.

 

I really can't see Atlanta or San Diego happening.

John Clayton said the going rate was a 4th. As little as that sounds he's a 30 year old RB and a 30 year old Randy Moss was had for a 4th as well.

 

He's more like a 29 year old RB considering he didn't play last year and Randy Moss was more of a cancer than a benefit at that point. There's no way he'd be had for less than a 2nd, and the Vikes want a 1st and 2nd or starting CB.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
