Now that the Vikings have declined Adrian Peterson‘s option for 2017, the running back is free to seek employment elsewhere. A person close to the veteran says that the Raiders could be his landing spot, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press tweets.
The Raiders must address their running back situation this spring with Latavius Murray headed for free agency. The Raiders have decided against signing Murray to a new deal before March 9, but they could still consider a reunion once both sides have explored their options. We recently ranked Murray as the fourth-best running back eligible for free agency this year, though that was before the franchising of Le’Veon Bell and the additions of Peterson and Jamaal Charles to the group.
Peterson left the Raiders with one heck of an impression when he ran for 203 yards in Oakland in the 2015 season. Now, we’ll wait and see if they have him join forces with younger backs Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington.
Depending on price, do it Oakland. The O-Line is way better than the Vikings and should give AP hope to rebound.
They are better off bringing back Murray in my opinion
Now that this Hightower news just hit, I say address the RB in the draft or a lower priced FA. Peterson is unreliable and will look for highest guaranteed money. And we all known Reggie don’t play that game. Hightower is what we need!! Also, although it wasn’t domestic violence, I think the child abuse case could end all this talk from Davis’ rules.
this makes sense…big Oline…that offense isnt far away.
If AP takes around about what we would give Murray. If not, what about Eddie Lacy, Mike Gillislee, Jamaal Charles in Free Agency, or drafting Alvin Kamara, Dont’a Foreman, and is Joe Mixon completely out of the question due to our domestic violence stance?
