What could the Aint's extract from The Cardinals about now?
for a #28???David Johnson Reportedly to Have Surgery on Wrist Injury, to Miss 2-3 Monthshttp://bleacherreport.com/articles/2732838-david-johnson-reportedly-to-have-surgery-on-wrist-injury-to-miss-2-3-months?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Why, are the Saints willing to trade Kamara? Maybe Ingram?
Adrian Peterson doesn't work in the Saints' offense built around the passing of their QB, and he won't fit the Cardinals' or Lions'. David Johnson is great because he can run, catch, block.
Peterson ONLY fits a team with a crappy QB and poor receivers, like the 2010-13 Vikings. Jets, maybe?

That’s not how I see it.
Peterson primarily fits on a team that has a good OLine, has good
run-pass balance (isn’t a pass-happy team), and prefers to run plays from under
center rather than shotgun.
So, the '79 Oilers would fit??
Cardinals were the 6th-highest in passing ratio last year, Lions were 3rd, Giants 10th. Houston, Dallas, and Tennessee might fit the mold of not being pass-happy and having good OL; I don't know which teams don't like the latitude to play from the shotgun.

Are these teams propensity to pass a characteristic of their play calling preferences or more a by product of a piss poor running game that might be helped by a stronger runner? The question then is....is AD still considered a strong runner?
Jerry likes him, perhaps, a Hershel like trade. If only AP was still a Viking.

I think he fits in with the Giants. But I think cardinals are better off making a deal for Jerick Mckinnon than Peterson.
Why not the Vikings trading L. Murray? Bring back Asiata for short yardage situations and extract a draft pick for Murray -- Murray will not be around next year anyways.

Cook has a bit of a history of getting dinged, McKinnon has proven that he isnt a feature back, so do you want Asiata making starts late in the year when the team could be in playoff contention? I dont. ( I loved Asiata when he ran like a dump truck with his shoulders square and low, but far to often he thought he was a nimble back and completely sucked trying to make people miss instead of running their asses over.)
If we did lose Murray, and needed a back to take snaps, I would use CJ Ham before bringing Asiata back.
