Minnesota is adamant that it has no intention of trading Adrian Peterson as the draft draws near.
Teams around the NFL that have flirted with the idea of making a move for Peterson avoid the issue in public.
“I wouldn’t dare talk about that,’’ Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said responded when asked specifically about the Vikings running back.
The odds that Peterson lands with the Cowboys has never changed: it’s always been more of a possibility than a probability. It’s an option _ an expensive option _ more than an imperative. It remains on the club’s radar screen.
