Adrian Peterson to keep betting in the NFL.
“Oh, yes, without a doubt,” the 35-year-old ball carrier told ESPN after being released Friday through the Washington football team.”I need to play.”
So the consultation becomes: which equipment – or – will pick up the phone and ask about its services?
The New England Patriots seem to be arguing every time a more sensible player enters the open market, so it wasn’t long before other people on Twitter began to wonder if Bill Belichick might consider signing Peterson, a seven-time chosen Pro Bowl and one of the most productive ball carriers in NFL history.
Social media provocators don’t either. Even former Patriots supporter Rob Ninkovich wondered Friday in ESPN’s “Get Up” if New England would explore the idea.
“I know he’s older now, but look, I wouldn’t let a team like the Patriots, who want an early passage, come by to go after a guy like him,” Ninkovich said.”He still has a little juice in the game.”tank, so if you still need to play football, it’s happening to have a chance to play in the NFL.So don’t put it beyond New England.They want an early pass, a first and a moment, back.”
The Patriots already have a charged opposite-intensity table consisting of Sony Michel, James White, Damien Harris, Rex Burkhead, Lamar Miller and JJTaylor, but Michel and Miller have foot surgery and a torn anterior cruciate ligament respectively, while Harris’ prestige for the first game of the New England season would be threatened by a hand injury.
The Patriots reportedly showed interest in Leonard Fournette this week before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired the ball carrier 25 years after his Jacksonville Jaguars.
Obviously, Fournette and Peterson are in very other stages of their respective careers. Also, it’s imaginable that New England would only do its due diligence on Fournette, who is now entering her fourth NFL season after being selected fourth overall in 2017.
However, they are both tough runners. Maybe the Patriots will do their homework with Peterson, too, if not with something else.
