Adrian Peterson cut

Totally in agreement of move RK as well. Moving him for a pick would be great, but it would be better for an Oline, TE or WR. We gotta give Haskins more help in order to develop him right

The only way I'm moving RK is if it's for a 2nd and that isn't happening

Patriots? They gave a 2nd for Sanu who they just cut.

Btw would anyone have believed a month ago that neither Guice nor Peterson would be on our roster? Crazy.

AP - would have been nice to see him finish his career here after what he's done here but you'd have to be blind to see the benefit in going promising youth over (slowly) declining veteran. And they have given him a week to catch on elsewhere.

RK - likewise if he could finish up here but I'd take a good TE or even LT for him no problem. Can't see us getting a high pick for him though.

Maybe a bit out there given the rotation we likely have/need, and the sense in keeping 4 DT anyway in a 4-3, but what about trading one of our DTs? Keep thinking it may be a struggle keeping 3 good DTs happy (unless we play a lot of goal line 😳), and we could fill a need.🤔

I am surprised. But thinking about it, it is probably for the best. Peterson won't be a free agent very long as there are several other teams that are short on running backs. I wish him well and thanks for what he contributed.

This move is about the future. Not about today, game #1 or this season.
I really do not want to see our offense continue to be a finesse, pass first, chuck and duck offense. We need to be balanced, unpredictable and posses a power running game when we need it. We will not be unpredictable if we change 3 players on every play when we move from power running to pass. TE & FB run blocking was one of our biggest weaknesses. Besides our underperforming O-Line.
Running the ball, controlling possession and running out the clock on opposing high powered offenses like KC Chiefs is key to beating them. We are not going beat them in a track meet. Plus it rests our defense.

Depth is good.

Depth is good.

Agreed, but when does depth at one position hurt you in getting depth at another? Guess its what the coaches and GM get paid for.

Just spitballing here, and it hasn't been said in anything I've seen...but maybe him being cut had a little to do with his past, and the culture change RR is trying to put into place with off the field stuff? Not that there has been anything jn recent years...but taking a variable out of the equation, maybe at least little?

That thought crossed my mind too, but I don't think so, because as you point out, it was several years ago. And .... the fact that RR was so quick to point to how great it was having him in the locker room around the young backs.

It's hard to say on one hand you love the locker room presence of a guy, and then on the other, say you are establishing a different culture for your team citing a years-ago transgression for the same guy as a small part of why you are letting him go.
