What would be a realistic trade for Peterson?

[Cory Levy]

After hearing Peterson's offhand comments about playing for his hometown team, I want to spice up a Cowboys Franchise and trade for Adrian Peterson in the first Offseason. I do, however, want to keep the trade as realistic as possible (and yes, I know AP would 'realistically' never be traded).

What do you think a realistic trade for AP would consist of?

My initial thoughts were probably two 1st, a future 2nd and DeMarco Murray for Peterson and two lower round draft picks. That seem reasonable? Too much? Not enough?

I wouldn't give up too much for an aging RB. Even as great as he is. But I would trade a 1st 2nd and next year 3.

Probably the only realistic trade for him would happen 3 years or so in the future.

First I would see if you can even get him.

A first round current year
and a 2nd a 3rd the next

Good luck getting an elite player in a trade! Can never get a trade done lol

Marshall Faulk had 1000+ yards every season in his 5 year career, minus one injury year. He also just had 2000+ yards from scrimmage the year he was traded.
He went for a 2nd and a 5th. Yeah, he was a trouble maker, but he was also only 25 years old at the time.

If that trade was offered in real life, the Vikes would be packing AP's bags for him.
