Peterson

Peterson showed he can turn it back on when he wants to. Is he 100% where he was at...maybe not but he can still be elite if he wants to be (that is the real question).

The key to that whole thing is "if he wants to" he is a clear malcontent. He has shown outwardly that he isn't happy here. F him.

Except he’s not shutdown anymore.


Why is that continuing to fly over peoples’ heads?

On top of being, possibly, unhappy here. Aging corner with the potential pouty moods. A guy belicheck would have shipped off by now imo. Yes, I know we aren't the Patriots.

9 years as a cardinal, voices frustration once. Other than that has been a model citizen 8 time pro bolwer, all pro, top CB of the decade, always been a positive and team player, Future first ballot HOF, said he wants to be cardinal for life. But you think he is a "Clear Malcontent", that makes sense...............

I don't even care that his play is declining...which it is. He is still a top 5 CB in the league for the next couple of years, and if he would be open to it he could be an all-pro FS for 5 more years easy ala Charles Woodson.

I would like to resign him, as long as he is not going to resign and then ask for a trade in 18 months...but I guess thats out of our control.

Where I would definitely trade him is if he has told the FO flat out..."Im not signing an extension, I'm going to test FA". If that is the case, and there are not negotiations that will happen for an extension, I am trading him in the next 3 days. We might still be able to land a valuable pick, and we would know exactly who it will get us. Waiting and trading him at the deadline gets us a future pick that could be anywhere/anyone.

Those saying...Just franchise him...you are kidding yourselves. This is a guy that has already asked to get out of town twice, and would make himself a very vocal distraction. I fully believe he would rather sit out a year if we "insult" him with a tag than play for the "snakes in the grass" under the franchise tag. How many times can a guy tell you wants out and you say no and refuse to let him leave?

I truly think we could get a late 1st for him from a team like Minny, KC, New Orleans, etc....a team that is all in right now.

Does it make us better next year, no it doesn't. Does it make us better for 4 years after that... IMO it does.

I don't even care that his play is declining...which it is. He is still a top 5 CB in the league for the next couple of years, and if he would be open to it he could be an all-pro FS for 5 more years easy ala Charles Woodson.

Wonder how that would work with runners/recievers coming free through the middle.

Talking reality. Doesn't just go one way. He was a C! Reconize.

Yup. Dogs it at times. Doesn’t give max effort. Clearly and openly has bad mouthed the organization in the media more then once. Caught being a cheater and who knows how long he was doing that. Should never wear a C again imo. He definitely isn’t somebody to look up to.

 

[DVontel]

If Peterson wasn’t getting cooked more times than not, I wouldn’t even mind the distractions at all.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Ah, so the only 3 out of 10 good games wasn’t enough, he just needs to play like he’s washed for the whole 16 to convince you.

Got it.

I would have answered "sublime to ridiculous" but there's no sublime.

 

[AZCrazy]

Any team in the NFL - any team - would be overjoyed to have Patrick Peterson on their roster right now.

Now trade Peterson for a #2 and get his ass out of there
