TallskiWallski83 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 A man taps Jones on the shoulder, says Adrian Peterson wants to say hello and hands over an iPhone. Jones says hi to the Minnesota Vikings' star running back and listens, nodding but not smiling. "Well, I understand, Adrian," he says into the phone. The slanted smile returns. "I'd like that, too. ... Well, I love your story. I love your daddy's story. I've always respected what you've been about. I've always been a fan of yours." Listening to half the conversation, it is obvious Peterson is telling Jones he wants to play for the Cowboys. Peterson, 29, is in the fourth year of a seven-year, $100 million contract that will pay him $11.75 million this autumn to play for the Vikings. "Well, we'll see what we can do, if we can make that happen," Jones is now saying. "Hmm-hmm. ... I'd like that, too. ... Well, we're talking pig Latin here, but let's see if we can do that." Jones listens, nods and says again, "We're talking pig Latin here, but let's see what we can do about that. OK, Adrian, thanks." Seems like AP knew this was coming down the pipeline and has already been sending out flyers around the league to see if anyone would sign him. You think he knows hes going to be released?

mitchmurraydowntown Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Couldn't of picked a worse time for this to come up for him from a league timing standpoint, Roger's ax is sharp & going to be cutting deep for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Beeeews Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 And for what it's worth, GMs negotiate with Player agents and vice versa. Players don't just call owners saying "I abused a child, can I please come to Dallas and play for your beloved Cowboys, #Jerruh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I assumed AP was calling in a legal favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 well, I'm sure he looked into it and didn't break the rules. It's like in hockey where guys always say they'd love to go play for the hometown team. Not a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
