He dared cross Payton - that's all it took and I knew he'd be gone before the trade deadline.

Re: Peterson trade?
 

Peterson should have looked at the history books. It doesn't matter what your stats or contract numbers look like. If you start acting like malignant tumor the surgeon is going to amputate.

Re: Peterson trade?
 

He was never going to touch the ball anyway...

Every time he stepped on the field opposing Ds assumed it was a run or he was a decoy. We don't have an O line good enough to let opposing Ds know we are running and still succeed...

Re: Peterson trade?
 

He's gone to the Cardinals as of today, Oct 10.

Re: Peterson trade?
 

This was just not going to work out for him.

His fate was sealed when he argued with coach on the sidelines a few weeks ago!

First 4 games of 2017
Mark Ingram 4.0 yards/carry
Alvin Kamara 5.5 yards/carry
Adrian Peterson 3.0 yards/carry

It was worth a try but the results are clear. I'm surprised the Saints got a draft pick outta the deal.

Never saw it working from day one.

Re: Peterson trade?
 

You come in here and start chirping at the coach for the first game, he's lucky they didn't just leave him in the parking lot

Re: Peterson trade?
 

I agree with you here, but the view from AP is obviously different.
In training camp and preseason we heard about 1 and 1A on the depth chart, and our D raved about how good he looked. Can't really blame the guy for thinking he'd get the ball more

Re: Peterson trade?
 

No i agree, i know his expectations were a little on the high side. Gonna roll in and show the world that AD is still there.

I've just always been in the school of humble yourself and then you'll be exulted.

Just not the right fit from the beginning. Maybe they weren't clear with him during signing?

Re: Peterson trade?
 

I don't think AP had many options. No one else in the league wanted to offer him money to play. I think he owes Sean Payton and the Saints some gratitude for putting him back on the field and getting him at least to another team to play. Nobody wanted to give him a chance and the Vikings were wanting to cut his money.

Peterson, 32, said he enjoyed his "wonderful experience" in the city of New Orleans. He heaped praise on the people of New Orleans, Metairie and Kenner, Louisiana, and said the Saints' fan base was "great" and the organization "from the top to the bottom was awesome."
