Adrian Peterson Traded to Cardinals

I guess it was a good idea in a way to sign Peterson. We basically got a draft pick for signing someone for 4 games.

That's a good point, and I wonder if that was the motivation behind it all along. Sign him just to use him as trade bait when injuries pile up around the league.

Not really. We signed AP before the draft and got surprised Kamara was available and made the move up. Ironically the Vikings did the same thing - signed Latavious Murray then moved up for Dalvin Cook. Unfortunately for the Vikings Cook is hurt so now they really need Murray. Funny how things go.

That's true. Well then I guess we can just look at it as "buying" an extra draft pick.

and since we gave up a 7th (plus the 2nd he was valued at) for Kamara, and are likely to get a 7th for AP, it means we got AK this year for a second next year. Good deal

Disagree. It was a bad idea - we could have signed a DT-3, LB, or an OL during that time with that money...

For what we spent, a late round pick was not worth it; get bringing in quality depth behind MI, but that was too much and too much drama...

My Fantasy Heart soars now because in my cash league, I have MI...

Lasco is stashed on the PS.

Never really saw how AP was going to work in the SP offense. Kind of a square peg round hole thing.

From my FA shopping list we could have and should have (horse shoes and hand grandees)

My #1 off season target at RB that fit SP like a glove was and probably will be again in 2019
Rex Burkhead RB 26 CIN NE 1/$3,150,000

Or spend that money on defense
Datone Jones OLB 26 GB MIN 1/$3,750,000
Duron Harmon FS 26 Pats Pats 4/$17 million

Kick in Ted Ginn Jr and we could have signed
Micah Hyde SS 26 GB BUF 5/$30,500,000
Jabaal Sheard DE/OLB Pats Colts 3/$25.5 million

Still not accepting the Ginn
