Quote:So confused by this board...

 

Hardy was a heck no because he hit a woman...

 

Pierce is cool cause everyone gets DUI

 

Peterson is a No because of Age/Salary/Draft pick…not that fact that he beat his child.

 

The board, I will assume, had little issue with Hardy and Pierce because they were low-risk signings. Neither  were going to get a huge contract. They are also still in their prime (at least age wise).

 

Peterson is 30 years old, makes a lot of money, AND will require that we give up compensation.

 

That is why most are against this speculated chase of Peterson. It has nothing to do with the off-field stuff for most. It's about how it would not be prudent for this team, given where its at, to go after him.

 

Now if he gets cut and is free to sign?

 

Then we can talk.
