Adrian Peterson And Jamaal Charles To Hit Free Agency, Should The Ravens Bring Either Of Them To Baltimore

... Peterson: __link__/0 nr HIQcnyz. — Adam Schefter (@Adam Schefter) February 28, 2017. Peterson is coming off yet another major injury suffered in the 2016 season, a season that saw the 31 year old play in just three games. With the Ravens in need of a running back, should the team consider adding Peterson. The decision for general manager Ozzie Newsome comes down to one word: money. Adrian Peterson remains a huge name, and his prior successes could warrant more money than the Ravens are willing to pay. It’s unlikely that Peterson will get anywhere near the $18 million salary he could have received if the Vikings picked up his option, but he could very well receive a salary higher than the Ravens are willing to pay. In addition, teams in need of a running back, like the Redskins and Packers , could become desperate and pay Peterson more than most would value him. On the other hand, Rotoworld reported that, "According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, several GMs have balked at the idea of paying Adrian Peterson $5 million on a one-year ...

Adrian Peterson's Future With Vikings The Big Question

... 2017: The Bears finished last in the division in 2016 — by a wide margin. Both the offense and defense ranked in the middle of the pack league-wide. But Chicago's 31 turnovers were the most in the NFC, and its 11 takeaways the fewest in the NFL — which explains why the team struggled to score yet surrendered so many cheap points. Part of the problem was a revolving door under center, where Jay Cutler and Hoyer were both waylaid by injuries. The Bears also need help in the secondary and at offensive tackle. Our advice: Reports have the Bears trying to trade Cutler, probably an overdue course of action. Whether they use free agency or take his replacement with the third pick of the draft or in subsequent rounds, it makes sense to re-sign either Hoyer or Barkley as a bridge. Given Jeffery's 2016 suspension for a PED violation and his injury history, he's not worth a second franchise tag at $17.5 million and probably not a long-term investment at anything other than some kind of hometown discount given the emergence of Cameron ...

... young, at 28. Verner was largely a disappointment in Tampa Bay. In his second year there, 2015, he was benched. The Buccaneers drafting cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III in Round 1 last year wasn't a good sign for Verner, who had just four interceptions in his three seasons in Tampa Bay. Josh Mc Cown's landing spot? Another aging quarterback, Josh Mc Cown, is already a free agent, having been released by the Browns. Mc Cown, who turns 38 this summer, is a possibility for the Jets , just like Cutler could be - if he doesn't retire. During an interview  with Sirius XM NFL Radio, Mc Cown said he's had "good conversations with four or five teams" during his free agency period so far. Mc Cown added that he doesn't expect to sign with a team until at least late April, after the free agent quarterback market sorts itself ...

Adrian Peterson, A.j. Green's Agent, Ben Dogra, Has License Reinstated By Nflpa

... show of support from his clients and others in the industry during this process.". Dogra was allowed to continue representing clients while his appeal was heard. Once one of the most high-powered agents in the NFL, Dogra's last few years have been mired in professional controversy. He  was fired  at Creative Arts Agency in 2014 for cause, per __link__, a move that sent a ripple through the sports business community. Tom Condon and Dogra had been the co-heads of CAA Football, and the hush-hush nature of the latter's departure caused confusion. Liz Mullen  of the Sports Business Journal reported in 2015 that half of Dogra's clients he represented at CAA chose to stay with the agency or fire Dogra in the first six months after his departure. Perhaps Dogra's most notable negotiations happened in 2015, when Peterson  tried to publicly force  his way out of Minnesota. The Vikings would not relent on Peterson's push to be released or traded but eventually ...

Adrian Peterson Is Free Agent, But Days With Vikings

... to stay in Minnesota. “The Vikings will make an offer and the offer they make will determine if they want Adrian Peterson, their all-time leading rusher, and a hall of famer, to finish his career in Minnesota,’ said Nelson Peterson. “The only way it won’t work out is if the Vikings lowball him.’. Still, as his son touched upon in his statement, Nelson Peterson said Minnesota improving the offensive line also will be a consideration for the running back to return. He said the Vikings, who have had injuries and other problems with the line in recent years, must show they are committed in that area. “You have to improve the offensive line,’ Nelson Peterson said. “What is happening now is so unfair to Adrian,’. Peterson gained just 72 yards on 37 carries while playing just three games in 2016. He was sidelined with a torn right meniscus suffered in Week 2 and returned in Week 15 before missing the final two games with knee and groin injuries. Peterson, taken No. 7 overall by the Vikings in the 2007 draft, has won three rushing titles, was named the 2012 NFL most valuable player and has rushed ...

Adrian Peterson Is Perplexed That People Doubt Him

... you.”. QB Film Room says. Feb 24, 2017 3:39 PM. Adrian, we watched you play in 2016 and you looked like about the 50 th best RB in the league lol. You are not a natural athlete just a bulldozing genet freak of nature with power and speed. You are uncoordinated, not football smart and have zero instincts in terms of patience running the ball. you also cannot catch naturally, run good routes nor have a sixth sense in pass pro. You have off the field baggage that up until this point has been a non story because your production was so good. bostonsteve 12 says. Feb 24, 2017 3:39 PM. Wanna win a SB?

As a Viking fan… I don’t doubt that he is completely delusional about his current market, value and where he is at in his career. I also don’t doubt that he is a me first player who would trade any a win for 100 yard game. I also don’t doubt that he is going to ...

Former Giants Offensive Coordinator Thinks They’ll Be Interested In Adrian Peterson

... still serves as the tight ends coach), suggested that G. M. Jerry Reese would do the deal only if the price is right. Getting the price right will be the challenge for Peterson and any interested team. Whether it’s the Giants, the Vikings, or anyone else, Peterson will have a chance (officially as of March 7, unofficially as of right now) to figure out exactly what is available to him and to pick his next team knowing exactly what he’s saying “no” to when he finally says “yes.”.

Potential Landing Spots For Adrian Peterson

... 6. New England Patriots: The Pats are similar to the Raiders in that they have a pair of passing-down specialists but their early-down power back is headed to the market. Bill Belichick likes to be an outlier , zigging when the rest of the league zags. If one-dimensional running backs are devalued by the other 31 general managers, perhaps Belichick can swoop in and steal Peterson as he did with an aging Corey Dillon in 2004. If Le Garrette Blount can find the end zone 18 times in a specialized role, what could Peterson accomplish in New England's friendly offense. 7. Denver Broncos: John Elway has a penchant for splashy additions, and the Broncos ' running game was a disaster down the stretch last season. It doesn't hurt that former Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave is now the quarterbacks coach in Denver. 8. Dallas Cowboys: It's a testament to Jerry Jones' unpredictability that the Cowboys made this list with stud three-down back ...
