Nobody has said any of that on this board so I don't know where that is coming from.
Everything that has been said about Peterson has been with the caveat "if he is available" and it's logical to think this can happen.
Don't give me that "caveat" business. There are plenty of things that "could" happen, if someone was "available".
How logical is it when A) he's still under contract to the Vikings B) he won't be reinstated until mid-April, at the soonest and C) he has to come at a more reasonable price than Murray will?
Murray has been dropping all kinds of hints money isn't important, that he loves Dallas, his teammates want him back, yet this is a more feasible option when the conditions aren't even close to being reality yet?
Hey, go ahead and wish for Suh as well. That makes just as much sense.
It's also pretty naive to think there have zero back room discussions especially considering how Peterson went out of his way to say how much he wants to be a Cowboy.
Antonio Cromartie recently mentioned he wanted to be a Cowboy. Does that make that likely?
You act like people are creating this out of thin air when there has been plenty of things to give this idea some merit.
I know about the rumors too. Does not mean I start making plans and generating hope based on the fact he and Jerry had a phone call.
Do you really think Minny wants Peterson back at 12 mill next year?
They could afford it. And they have stated they want him back. That is a far stretch from assuming that they are just going to cut him to make him all ours.
I readily admit its there are a lot of variables here the biggest being how much will Peterson want in a new contract, but its not a fantasy to see him as a Cowboy next year.
It is a fantasy until the conditions present themselves.
All I know is if I were running this club, I would not be sitting there hoping I could get a beat up RB dodging a suspension, getting cut, then deciding he's going to be real cheap versus looking at options that will exist well before that.
