It's probably not much more than wishful thinking but I'm thinkin' it anyway!

I totally agree it should be a football decision 100 percent. This crazy would we have so many people that
let things go on both sides. I don't think it will be that simple.

I'm probably crazy, but I put the chances he is back at better than 50%.

To be clear, I'm talking about the chances he's back next year. If I had to guess, I'd say the chances he plays for us this year are less than 10%, but what the heck do I know. Haha.

One can only hope that the arbitrator at least makes the RIGHT call after taking this long!

Don't know if this has been posted here... don't have time to keep up with every thread, so apologies in advance if so.

Sid Hartman has an interesting article on AD's future: http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikin ... 44691.html


Given Sid's old school, ear to the ground, having real inside sources approach, I read this with interest:
But there is no doubt the Vikings want Peterson back if they can renegotiate the contract. Believe me, there is no consideration at this time to trading Peterson, and the Vikings will make every effort to keep him.

Thank you for sharing that! Yeah, I agree - my thought has always been that we wouldn't have kept paying him all of this time if we planned on cutting him. I think that is Dallas Cowboy fan wishful thinking!

As senile as Sid can be, he is usually correct when it comes to the stuff like this.

Yes. He also knew about the Barr pick before it happened and wrote about it. He does things the old way, with personal connections... not wild speculation. He is a bit senile, though. I love watching the videos when other reporters interview him--he's a real surly sort.

For example, go to 4:30 of this video:

That has to be one of the best reactions I've seen in a long time!
