Would You Trade Floyd for Peterson?

[Mitch]

Michael Floyd is a Minnesota native and is heading into the last year of his rookie contract. He's the kind of player it likely will take for the Vikings to trade Adrian Peterson.

I think that with such a deep pool of WR talent in FA and in the draft, and with BA&SK being as high as they are on Jaron Brown, this is a trade they could consider. What do you think?

 

[overseascardfan]

I am cooling on Peterson as there are younger, cheaper options available in FA & draft.

i d trade michael floyd for nick foles

 

[AZCrazy]

Floyd is the future. Peterson is the past.
The time for AP to have joined this team is 2007, not now.
If he comes as a free agent, we hold our nose and say fine, but not give up a major asset.

 

[Snakester]

If the 49ers sign Dockett I would return the favor by signing Iupoti and Crabtree. As much as I would love to have AP I would rather trade a draft pick than Michael Floyd. He is in his prime and the next five years will be his best.

 

[BigRedRage]

no thanks

 

[Lagerfilled]

In a heartbeat especially if we can go out and grab Jaelen Strong, DGB, or Philip Dorsett.

No way. Too many good RB options available. I think Floyd brings a lot to the table.

No.Did you even consider the PR flack you would get?AP was a tremendous talent but he will be 30 years old and has averaged almost 300 carries a season and has had 2 major knee injuries and he will make 12 million dollars..Too many negatives.

 

[az jam]

No. LIke Floyd and prefer drafting a big RB. Good draft for RBs.

 

[Chopper0080]

I'm not really sold on either...

Amen

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Yes. I'd rather trade Floyd for AP and then draft Strong/Green-Beckham than to be without him.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I'm an AP fan but I would not do that trade. I would rather just add AP without taking away from the existing group.

 

[Finito]

Not at this stage. I think AP has 1 or 2 more years left in him

Tough call. Not at Peterson's current salary. He'd have to reneg his deal. Don't think it happens.

Ellington is a good back. He just needs to have 20 or less touches to keep him healthy. We need a very good tough back between the tackles who hopefully has a little speed and vision as well. There are plenty of choices in the draft, imo. Go young.

Another guy who is a definite option is Todd Gurley for our 1st Rd. pick. I think Baltimore is salivating at the chance of getting him. He'd be ready to roll by game 4 me thinks. By that time we could use a boost, and he could be BIG impact down the road. Dallas also has it's eyes on Gordon. Is he a bigger Emmit?

I don't think so. I think they were very happy with Forsett, especially down the stretch.

Also, any deal would need a restructure of AP's contract as you discussed.

Forsett is a free agent.

 

[WildBB]

Forsett was solid, but I don't see him as the longer term answer and a FA.

Anyway, Gurley has everything to be a Leveon Bell type impact back. How would you like someone like Bell on this team?

 

[BigRedMO]

Hell yes!!!!!!!! Floyd is nothing special. Easier to find a Floyd than an AP. There are 5 receivers in first round better than Floyd.

I like the way you think.

Gurley and Gordon can both be had in the 1st. Two 21 yr. old backs with tremendous upside. Put on O line in front of them.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

It depends, could we also sign Cobb or Maclin?

I really like Gurley but I'd take Tevin Coleman over Gordon.

Is another high priced receiver and option w/ a high priced RB?

We need to fix the O-line.
