    Adrian Peterson gets 7 year $100 mill deal $36 mill gauranteed

    Unbelievable. As a fan of the Vikes, i'm not happy (cap is fcked now). Guy has at most 3 elite years left. Don't need an elite RB to win a Superbowl. Name the last time a big contract for an RB worked out? Should have traded him this offseason.

    Vikes gotta see what Ponder can do. No vet QB's out there that great, so why not pay the best back in the league franchise money now...

    I don't understand these RB's getting all this money and years on their contracts. RB's don't last that long.

    More power to them I guess.

    At least he has a better attitude, and is easier to understand than Chris Johnson.

    Gotta take the money.

    Vikings are the ones that are fools. Giving Adrian $36 mill guaranteed when he AT BEST has 3 ELITE years left.

    Vikings have a weak O-line and question at QB with no money to spend next year. Just a stupid decision all the way around for them.

    both are fools but he still could got a good contract with a team that's actually a contender.

    Gotta take care of you and yours first. Football is just a game but the money is what puta food on the table and Ferraris in the garage. I don't understand all the negativity in here surrounding this. AD wants to get the max contract as any one would and Minny agreed to pay it, so I don't see the problem. Haters just gonna hate.

    RBs don't last long. I would take the money too.

    Exactly, anyone would, it's common sense. And I tend to believe the Vikings organization knows more about this matter than a few guys here.

    these contracts these guys put out there, in the nfl, for the public to read are ridiculous....its all fluff...so these guys can get some headlines.....and feel like they are making money on par with nba and mlb stars......this contract is worth basically 12 mil a year for the next 3 years(which is less than john fuckin lackey)......3 years from now is about the estimated time table when peterson will slow down into current tomlinson territory....hell prob squeeze a 4th year out of it if he stays healthy....

    Great deal for AD. Since when did overpaying your best player and face of the franchise become a bad thing, a la Peyton Manning?

    Because he's a RB.

    Name the last time a big money contract (not a rookie deal) or extension worked out for both sides?

    He deserves it. Likely a HOF running back. Only about a 1/3 of it is guaranteed.

    Did I miss something? Are teams now playing with 10 men on offense at a time now? No running backs league. You pay EVERY position on the team, if that guy is your best player and he happens to be the running back, what's the big deal?

    Peyton Hillis had a good season last year and he wasn't the starter, he is getting big time money, is there anything wrong with that?

    RB's are the most overpaid athletes in sports

    RB's are limited by their offensive lines, no matter how good they are

    Couldn't agree more with this. Maybe it makes sense from a marketing viewpoint as he sells tickets but the recent Pats champs, last year's Packers without Grant... you could go on and on. You're right, you don't need a premiere back to compete for the ring. I'd much rather have a rock left tackle.

    Yes..he is still a good running back but nowadays it seems any of these pros can run the ball with a good line
    He already lost a step, too banged up
    bad move Minn
