Adrian Peterson - Agrees To Plea Deal

[jackjohn 31]

Waiver #4, dropping my def. If I get him, great. If not, I move up in the ww. Worth the risk, IMHO.

[Better Lucky Than Good 0]

Did they come back when AP was shut down?

Pepsi is the new sponsor in their place

[PATSSOX 22]

OK I said you should drop AP weeks ago and he had no chance to play this year........well I claimed him!! Hahahaha

[tigeru 65]

I claimed him then dropped him for Atlanta D as new qb under smith means poop

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 288]

It's difficult to look beyond that if you actually saw the pictures. If you viewed those with the thought they were of a 4 year old child (and NOT a 16 year old that stole their parents vehicle) that had their flesh broken, then you can't want him on the field let alone loose in society.

 

Period.

 

- perfectly articulated, and + infinity

[SaintsInDome2006 441]

All we can do is wait. But the fact that this is during the bye helps. Lots of time for the Vikes and the NFL to reach a decision.

[Flyfreak 84]

 

- perfectly articulated, and + infinity

and sadly he'll be the starting vikes rb come week 11

[Challenger 72]

No way, he will play next year, they will add him back during off season sneakily. Not when all this crap still going on, Ray Rice still suing the league for god sake.

i agree, but it's the nfl we're talking about here

[JediMaster 20]

Grabbing him in 1 league and put a blind waiver in another (same league I drafted him in 4th overall).

It's not on video. BIG difference.

I guess you have not watched a Falcons game this year Anyone one of us this board can probably throw or run for TD vs them.

 

Falcons Defense < Potential RB1

 

 

If even he does not play im not sure id admit to making this move.

Right, Ray Rice is suing the league (and may win). If he's not reinstated, Peterson will certainly do the same thing. The CBA only gives the NFL so much leeway with punishments on these things, and they've reportedly gone past what the CBA allows already with Peterson.

 

I'm not saying it's a lock Peterson plays this year, but with his criminal case now over with, Peterson will surely seek all available legal remedies if he is not reinstated.

Except AP is getting pay to rest his body.

Sounds like he's done resting.

[Vikes_Fan 8]

I picked him up on waivers this week. Given the amount of time he's been off, I'm guessing it will be a 6 game fine and time served, or something like that.

[PATSSOX 22]

I might have a problem after getting him this week

 

Im sure ill lose in round 1 but this could be damn good team

Trade one of your TE's for a more consistent WR1 (Antonio Brown if possible).

good call, cause then he'd have gordon/brown and ap for flex

AP getting reinstated in time to make deal will be key. Hopefully the judge/moderator didn't rip dumbass Godell to bad today to make him not want to deal w AP right now. He should reinstate him immediately and fine him 8 game checks or whatever he has missed and donate the money to a child abuse foundation or something similar

Could be week 11

 

This from CBS: The NFL has not set a timetable on Adrian Peterson's potential reinstatement, but the Vikings running back is aiming to play Week 11 at Chicago when the team returns from its bye, reports Pro Football Talk.

"It only takes an airplane trip to do it," Peterson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, told the website. "I'm hoping that can be done quickly and I'm hoping the NFL is receptive to it and agrees to it and get this issue off the front page, because it's time for him to go back and ... play football."

 

Peterson pleaded no contest Tuesday to a Class A misdemeanor in his child abuse case and will avoid jail time. He remains on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission List and is not allowed to participate in team activities. The NFL, which could decide to suspend Peterson, has said only that it will review his status.

[tigeru 65]

He decided what he'd do to get into trouble but he doesn't get to decide when he plays next. He forfeited that.

[SUXBNME 1,514]

"If Adrian Peterson receives a plea deal and his felony child abuse charge is bargained down to a misdemeanor, the expectation of the NFL Players Association will be that the Minnesota Vikings star should be punished as would any other player determined to be guilty of a misdemeanor, league sources told ESPN.

 

Jeff Curry/USA TODAY Sports

 

The NFLPA will argue that if Adrian Peterson reaches a plea deal in his child abuse case, he should be punished just like any other player found guilty of a misdemeanor, according to sources.

Peterson has missed eight games but been paid his full salary of nearly $5.3 million in his absence. The union will likely argue that the running back should be reinstated and perhaps forced to pay a substantial fine -- surrendering part of the income he's been receiving.

 

Peterson has been on the commissioner's exempt list, and only commissioner Roger Goodell can reinstate him, so he could be required to meet with Goodell.

 

Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, who is facing a trial for a domestic violence charge, also was placed on the exempt list in September.

 

Both players agreed as part of a deal that they would be ineligible to play until their cases are adjudicated, but that they would receive full compensation until that time.

 

Once Goodell reinstates Peterson, presuming the commissioner eventually does so, the Vikings would either have to allow the running back to return to the team or be required to release him.

 

The Vikings' position on all of this remains a mystery. They have been silent since Peterson was put on the exempt list, so there is uncertainty as to whether the Vikings are willing to reinsert Peterson into their lineup.

 

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was asked about Peterson on Monday as the team began its bye week, and he made it clear he judges Peterson based on his own personal interactions and considers him to be "top-notch, first-class.""

Link your sh1t or you will be Moosed.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner

[SUXBNME 1,514]

 

 

Dude has fresh legs and will be a problem during the fantasy playoffs.

And hasn't taken a hit all year.

He's not in proper football shape and will be a bust for the first 2 weeks he's playing. (assuming he does play this year. )

 

Some of you people are really grasping at straws here.

It says Jeff Curry/USA Today right in there.

[tigeru 65]

He's been exempt and paid but hasn't actually been punished. The 6 games would line up close with the rest of the year. Collect a few million hit the golf course early for all I give a shid.

yeah, i thinks most people are leaning toward this approach as well

[Kaptain02 0]

Glad I kept him.. almost dropped him earlier this year to free up a roster spot.

 

I believe he'll be back week 11 and I'll start him with confidence. With that being said my options at RB are slim

[Gepetto 1,371]

I was able to get AP in my other league so I have him in all leagues now.

I was 6 on the priority list for the waiver wire and all 5 ahead of me didn't put a bid in. I wash shocked. Best running back in the game.

He's been out since Week 1. How would it make sense to now suspend him any longer? He'll have to give back the game checks for the suspended weeks, but suggesting that he won't get credit for time already served is pretty preposterous.

 

And hasn't taken a hit all year.

He's not in proper football shape and will be a bust for the first 2 weeks he's playing. (assuming he does play this year. )

Stay salty, non-AP owner.

Looks like the NFL is going to drag this out as long as they can...understandably so, given the PR nightmare this year.

[Fozapd 8]

I only grabbed him in one league, but it is a keeper league so I really feel it is worth the chance. I mean Adrian Peterson as a keeper could work out well in the future, and he could help me win the playoffs now. Low-risk as I cut Ryan Fitzpatrick (my crappy backup who lost his job), and its a 16 team league.

justice is the only thing that i want to see happen

[jrbdmb 28]

I'm starting to suspect the NFL will drag it out until after Week 11, then impose the six-game domestic violence penalty on Peterson. Voila! No Peterson this year.

 

Goodell and company have had enough ulcers about domestic violence already this year and will do whatever they can to make sure Ray Rice and Peterson do not play again in 2014.

If the NFL does not deal with this getting AP on the field by week 12 at least I think they are looking at a lawsuit and maybe King Rog testifying again.

 

I don't think the NFL has a leg to stand on here.

Well he already missed 8 games. The NFL has nothing on him. And all the legal BS is behind him.

 

He should be back week 11. We will see though.

I was 10th out of 10 and still got him!
