I thought he had some value when TJ was threatening to holdout but now TJ has shown up he's not worth a roster spot. It's too bad, I think he's better than any RB in IND.

Aren't we getting to the point where trades become much less and less likely though?

IDK, Bennet was just traded yesterday, and if there is interest by other teams, and the bears get back equal value, then a trade can easily happen

What's wrong with making $500,000 a year or so to workout and practice everyday and make a few plays on special teams on Sundays? Great gig...not every RB is dying to be beat on 25 carries a week.

A-Pete is the goods... a solid special teams contributor, and the best third string RB in the NFL.
He could be a backup on most teams, and a starter on some...
LB Mike Peterson of Jacksonville is his brother.
Adrian was also the cat running the bleachers in a Russell Athletics commercial a couple of years ago.
He's got a massive stuttering problem too....

Whats Petersons status now with Benson's latest problems and TJ still being a bit dinged? Is his contract up soon? Can he really start for a few NFL teams?
(I ask because I own Benson and TJ in a Dynasty league, but want to drop a player and have been holding Peterson.)
Does he compare at all to a Mike Turner or Chris Perry as long term "Back Ups" to have?

He just signed a new 3-year deal. Veteran's minimum + $1 million signing bonus I believe.
He's not in Turner's or Perry's class. He's a solid backup RB and solid insurance. He can start in a pinch, but he's not this full-time everydown RB (i.e. he could start for several teams) that people claim he is.

I think AP is better than all of those guys

I'm a Bears fan and as much as I like Peterson (and love locking him into a longer deal), he's mired behind two backs and will most likely see very little time unless BOTH get injured. Not a good gamble, fantasy wise (assuming a 12-team, 16 man roster situation). That said, next year Peterson will be the 2nd stringer in Chicago and will garner some value.
He'll get top retire at 30 as a millionaire and still have his knees....

If Peterson is 2nd string next year, which RB gets moved? I think TJ has 2 more years on his contract -- I guess it would make most sense to try to trade him away and keep Benson for the duration of his rookie contact at least. Is that what you're expecting?NatronIsMean said:
