Perhaps Peterson should consider new representation.

Its one thing to work hard for your client, to physically almost fight a teams top personal, at the NFL CombineBetween CAA firing Dogra and the exodus of clients we're seeing, you do have to wonder if he has a problem and people are bailing before his issues rub off on their careers.
That's probably melodramatic but there seem to be a lot of warning signs with this guy.
Good points and I agree.jackal wrote: Its one thing to work hard for your client, to physically almost fight a teams top personal, at the NFL Combine
with reporters around?? That's nuts...
The NFL owners are a small little elite group, Ben Dogra is pushing a group, that might just
push back. He could and might already be black listed in NFL circles ...
Peterson is likely to get a worse organization and team to play for, and make less money as well...
Thanks. That was a good listen and he did a much better job of articulating what I was trying to express the other day when we were posting here, which is that if this goes on long enough, at some point it's just likely to really grate on Zimmer and the team. Dogra's obviously trying to push their buttons now to get his client out of town. It's a strategy that makes sense, even if it's annoying. Actually, it makes sense because it's annoying.dead_poet wrote:Tom Pelissero's latest take (podcast/Tomcast):
It's really a boneheaded move in my opinion. It's the last resort option for them that I can't see changing anything other than teams wanting to avoid his clients if this is how it'll be when they want something but don't have leverage. They should know that no amount of annoyance is going to make them take less compensation than they think he's worth and if they'd been offered said compensation he'd be gone already.Mothman wrote: Thanks.

It's a strategy that doesn't reflect well on him or his client so I agree that in a long term sense, it could prove to be boneheaded and damage Dogra's reputation.Cliff wrote:It's really a boneheaded move in my opinion.

Having to answer the same questions over and over is part of the coaching gig, they'll get over it.

Sigh... will we ever get another Vikes offseason with no stupid drama?
Haven't had a chance to listen to this yet but I said a while ago that keeping an unhappy Peterson around isn't fair to the team and especially to Zimmer and Teddy. They don't need this distraction going into their second season. They dealt with enough issues and distractions in their first season.Mothman wrote: Thanks.

I think he’s happy with the progress of where the organization is going, I think he’s happy with the way Teddy [Bridgewater] is playing and the things we’re trying to do to improve this football team and hopefully he’s excited to be part of it,” Zimmer said.
The more and more i read I really dont think the cowboys are willing to make a trade for AP. atleast, not for what the Vikings want in return.cmoss84 wrote:Hardy just got suspended 10 games. Does this free up a good amount of cap space for the Cowboys? Time for them to get desperate with their trade offers?
