Agree on the short yardage concern. Honestly that was probably going to be a concern even with Peterson, because the line can't line up and mash, aside from Scherff. And until I see a strong run block from our TE group I have to assume we still don't have that skillset.

They're clearly picking a strategic direction and going with it. They want motion in the offense, and versatility from their skill positions. They want defenses unable to predict whether a run is coming or a pass is coming. And when you put Peterson on the field, we all know that broadcasts a run.

It wouldn't be worth keeping Peterson just for the short yardage, given the strategic direction.

As for Kerrigan, COMPLETELY agree. A contending team might view him as a piece worth trading a decent asset for. I love him and I'd miss him, but that's the right move to build for the next five years.
