@CharlesRobinson Regarding Cris Carter vaguely hinting at a trade, I've heard nothing at all to suggest anything has changed with #Vikings Adrian Peterson.

Ha! I just posted a link to the same video.

So, how many people of one opinion or the other need to watch the draft tonight in order to observe and collapse the possibilities of a Peterson trade into one final outcome? ;)

Our trade partner is Cleveland. Mariota is just a smoke screen. Cleveland will give us one of their picks, which the Vikings will use on Gordon who they feel is a better 1/2 punch with McKinnon than Gurley. I can't be specific because of my self-imposed gag order.

All the reports saying this or that about an AD trade dont mean squat. No one is going to show their hand, most of all Rick. I think he has the draft day (and what hopefully is a trade day, for the right picks) figured out as much as anyone. He's had what appear to be a few first round misses, but he gets value in the draft as much as any GM in the NFL.

Would AP even re-sign with the Vikings when his contract runs out? Seems like a lot of broken trust. Maybe we should get what we can for him now?

I've got some bad news fellas. My right eye has been twitching, which more often than not means something bad is going to happen. I have a feeling AP will be gone for a 2nd round pick and nothing more, leaving me wanting to sit on the floor with a 30pk of extra gold just like when Randy was traded (has anyone here ever had extra gold?). I hope my intuition is wrong on this one and he stays in purple. Here's to staying positive!

Bad idea to trade AD to ANY NFC team
