Cowboys Rumors: Dallas All-In On An Adrian Peterson Trade?

Respected Dallas Cowboys beat writer Tim Cowlishaw joined the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday, and he had some interesting comments when asked if the team is all-in on oft-maligned Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and what it would take for the Cowboys to pull off such a deal.

Via the Dallas Morning News:

I think it's beyond wishful thinking now. I think it's a real deal. I think all these signs point to them trying to make this happen if it can. I don't think you would do all this restructuring and one-year deal on Greg Hardy, which is just a rental, and a one-year deal on Rolando McClain if you're gonna have Darren McFadden running the ball for you next year in this offense. They're all in. Now it's gonna depend on convincing the Vikings and the people with the Vikings who might wanna move on from Peterson. Cause I think Zimmer would like to keep him around, but I'm not sure everybody would like to keep him around, and not at almost $15 million a year.

Peterson currently has three years and $47.4 million left on the current construct of his deal with the Vikings. Minnesota maintains that they want to make things work with AP, but all indication's from Peterson's camp point to a reconciliation being untenable.

Stay tuned.
