With the news that Adrian Peterson is likely to be cut soon by the Arizona Cardinals, the question becomes, was the trade worth it?
The Cardinals did not give up much in the way of compensation, a sixth round pick, but they only got six games, 448 yards and two touchdowns out of Adrian Peterson
Moreover, they stifled the potential growth of Kerwynn Williams and Elijhaa Penny, both who performed better than Peterson on the season.
Peterson wasn’t the problem, he’s a power running back who needs a split second to work.
