Saints trade RB Peterson to Cardinals

[Uptown]

 

[chasa]

not surprising. Peterson doesn't have it anymore, the dude is done.

Looks like the DJ Foster solution has been a failure; he hasn't been active for any of their games. Smells like desperation for Arizona, although i assume the condiditonal pick is of very low value.

Peterson was unhappy with his amount of carries so I guess they decided to toss him.

 

[Uptown]

Lol

Lol

Can vaccaro rush the passer?

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Makes sense for both teams.

Makes sense for both teams.

In a "rearranging the chairs on the Titanic" sort of way.......

So the news from yesterday that Pats are in trade talks with Arizona is false. It was NO.
btw, can we still get Fitzgerald ?

I thought the Cardinals were supposed to be trading with us.

Obviously with their new Adrian Peterson centric offense the Cardinals will have no further need for Fitzgerald's services

It's tweets like that shows why Bleacher Report is a joke.

Makes sense....

Peterson, regardless of his level of play, is not a good fit for a team that views the running game as a necessary evil.

I suppose that Bidwell/Keim/Arians must maintain appearances and pretend that they're contenders, but this move really doesn't make the Cardinals stronger contenders today than they were (not) yesterday. It just makes them even older than they already were.

i think we were def in talks w/ Arizona about most likely Dion then, since they were looking for a RB...

just so happens we wanted more, and they settled for Peterson instead is the way im reading how this played out

First a Saint, now a Cardinal, next he'll be the pope.

A washed-up back traded to a washed-up team. Nothing to see here. Boy have the Cards looked BAD.

Arizona has a terrible run blocking line, bottom 5. They are also the most pass happy team in general (71%) throwing from behind (76%) and in the red zone (76%)

It's a bad fit.
