Peterson trade?

neugey · 10-02-2017, 04:25 PM

Prior to the Dolphins game I was pumping the brakes on Kamara but I'm not any longer. I think he has Thurman Thomas potential for us, we could certainly center our offense around him and MI is a very nice complement to keep us from overusing AK.

If any of you have a chance, google RICKEY WATTERS. He was a really good change of pace back. Kamara reminds me a lot like him.

Wow I agree. A lot of similarity in the running style.

I had Watters on a fantasy team way back when. One of the first leagues I won.

There's another side to all this, maybe Peterson doesn't want to go anywhere? The only thing I heard from Peterson is week 1 being a little upset about not getting the ball more, which is understandable against his old team. I am not going to assume Peterson is currently satisfied, but maybe he likes his chances at getting a ring and is willing to roll with it? The media are really the only one's making a big deal right now. I am sure all AP has to do is say the word and he would be released or traded.

I think Darius Victor could fill that role just fine. Trsde him to Minnessota for the best defensive player theyll part with.

If Peterson wants to be traded and another team is willing, then it's a no-brainer. All parties had to know going in, he was not a fit for what the Saints do on offense. As a Saints fan, I like having Peterson as an insurance policy against Ingram getting hurt. The guy can still be productive given the opportunity.

Peterson would have to become a monumental distraction in the locker room in order to be dealt. Saints FO would gain nothing by trading him.

It's still a long, challenging season (see remaining schedule) & you'll need fresh backs down the stretch. Adrian goes no where.

He's insurance. The wrong coverage plan but many teams don't even have that. He's not going anywhere. Whatever we could get for him we could find on the street for free.

Keep him. He's on a one year deal. His real value to us (and I said this before) is when Ingram eventually goes down for 2+ games like he does every season.
