If all these pieces line up like this, some people really leapt to conclusions on this.
Patrick Peterson suspended for PED’s - Suspended 6 games
- Thread starter GatorAZ
- Start date
If Michael didn't fire Meathead for putting peoples lives at risk I seriously doubt he will care if PEDerson is suspended for 6 games. PEDerson will still be a Cardinal unless he chooses to retire.
No doubt and most all players do I am sure. He just got caught.

This relationship is coming to a head.
I don't like that PP is throwing an accidental unknown added diabetic drug baned substance that he was supposedly unaware of.
Not buying that spin.

yup. sounds like total BS and using his disability to cover for his cheating, which makes it even more unseemly.

I took a licensing exam last month and took unprescribed Adderal to increase energy and focus. Used it for studying, too. If I’m willing to do this for a test, i can’t say i wouldn’t do it in sports when there are millions of $$$ at stake.
He didn’t knowingly take the drug??? Did he knowingly take the masking agent???
Sure . Then he unknowingly took a masking agent. Come on man.

Of course they know. So do trainers, doctors, coaches, GM’s, owners and the league office.
He took the masking agent after finding out the substance was banned. Which is why the masking agent didn't work and was detected.
It's about the dumbest thing I can imagine but all the pieces align. I don't believe he intended to cheat but he is being dumb and selfish through the entire process

Sounds like a lame excuse
Timeline likely:
Peterson takes something
Someone tells him that substance is banned
He takes a masking agent out of panic
He gets drug tested and fails
Patrick goes to organization and wants his contract reworked to limit his liability
Organization says no it can't do that
Patrick says "Don't have this come out before my charity event"
It comes out before attempt
Unknowns and reasons for distrust -
Organization:
Is Patrick lying about why he took the substance?
Patrick:
Did whomever he talk to rat him out and that is why he got drug tested
Who released the suspension news despite what he requested

Which why it makes no sense to cheat and try and cover it up.
On the restructure:
What Peterson wanted isn't legal by the NFL. He would have to do an actual restructure and add years to the deal. That is what Brady did.
Peterson does not want to add years to his deal. He wants to be a free agent in two years.

He's saying it was related to a drug he used for his type II diabetes. That's the spin.
Naturally....and yet he masked it instead of partnering with the NFL due to his diagnosis. He is only making it worse.

I will give my take, and it's simply my take. I am a distance runner and my running partner is a type I diabetic. He played college football and luckily did not get diagnosed till after playing ball. He is 55 years of age now, runs six miles a day and still has all his fingers and toes, eye sight and such but he has to be careful. Once when running he stubbed his toe and it was a scare because a injury like that for him could result in him losing his toe or more due to how his condition does not allot for recovery as in a normal person. My mother is type II, and as we know she has to be tested and have her eye's checked etc.. Now my mother does not have to take insulin but my running partner does due to his heighten condition. Type II still does affect when one is bruised or bleeding. Meaning this is not just about performance but the ability to perform with the injuries one can sustain playing professional football, the ability to simply recover
I do not fault Peterson because it appears he is simply doing what he has to do to keep playing and as some I believe have mentioned could now result in his possible retirement. He's responsible for breaking substance rules whether he felt he has a choice or not and I am not saying he should not be punished for breaking a league law, but I can understand why on his behalf. I am not mad at Peterson for wanting to be himself with his God given talent which his condition does not provide a even slate compared to the WRs he has to cover or the players he is expected to tackle. Funny how some call him a puss for not being a physical tackler when tackling a guy could result in a injury for him none of us would have to worry about. I am not mad at the Cardinal front office because they cannot accommodate his actions, as a organization they cannot be an accomplice to breaking something imposed by the league which they belong
I am bummed because he's one of the greatest corners to play the game and happens to be on my team I root for, and this seems to be what it takes for him to play now. I'm not mad at him or the organization... and his behavior I can forgive because I can only imagine what it must feel like not being able to be the best at something which might no longer be an option can make one lose their emotive control and lash out

What he needs to do now is step up, take responsibility and show up to the ota’s.
