Re: AP to accept plea?
i wonder what this will mean for him and for the vikings?
i'm ready for a beer.
Re: AP to accept plea?
Hopefully it means he's back on the field next week! They said once his legal trouble was resolved he'd be back didn't they?!
Re: AP to accept plea?
I wish he would wait for the official ruling. Getting a "not guilty" would be much easier for a fan base to support again.

The League could still suspend him, plus I think they have to approve him coming off of the Commissioner's List.mondry wrote:Hopefully it means he's back on the field next week! They said once his legal trouble was resolved he'd be back didn't they?!
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Re: AP to accept plea?
Even if he pleas I am sure Goodell suspends him. It's not like he was punished yet, well unless you count sitting at home and cashing millions of dollars in checks punishment.
Either way the only way I want him back is if he takes a HUGE payout next year. If not move on.

Peterson plea deal...
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... sdemeanor/Peterson plea deal would reduce charge to a misdemeanor
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, a plea agreement (if reached) would reduce the pending felony child-abuse charges to a misdemeanor.
That would trigger less severe sanctions in the criminal justice system, and it also could result in a reduced punishment for Peterson by the NFL.

I wonder what the Vikings would do in that situation

He's missed 8 games. They would probably just take a few paychecks I would think. I doubt he'd get more than 8 games for a misdemeanor.NDVikeFan wrote:Even if he pleas I am sure Goodell suspends him.

For a misdemeanor? Not much I would hope. He should take a paycut though.maembe wrote:I wonder what the Vikings would do in that situation

It was, but there's no way Peterson would take a plea deal unless the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor.Purple Reign wrote: I thought this was a felony charge
Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Peterson plea deal...
Wondering if he might play a couple games at the end of the season, as a Vike. But there's still plenty of time for him to ge caught with some weed, and impregnate a few hundred more females between now and then, because condoms just are too expensive.
Re: AP to accept plea?
Should he take a large paycut because he isn't producing the same? Or should he take the paycut because he will be 30 soon? Do you feel the same about any player who turns 30 if that's the answer? I'm just curious why you and some others feel he should take this large paycut when he has still showcased being the most game-changing RB in the game.NDVikeFan wrote:Even if he pleas I am sure Goodell suspends him.

How soon we forget that this guy has faced 8 or 9 in the box for almost his whole career and still has racked up over thousand yards every season except when he blew his knee against the skins. A lot of these backs in the league now can't get those types of yards even when the defense is worried about the pass but we had Ponder.
