A couple of articles about Adrian Peterson that were published on the official website of the Dallas Cowboys don’t amount to tampering, per an interpretation of NFL rules by Pro Football Talk.
Rob Phillips, senior writer for the Cowboys site, wrote in a piece published Thursday that the acquisition of the Minnesota Vikings running back would make the Cowboys a “serious contenders.” Cowboys.com staff writer David Helman, in a counterpoint piece to Phillips’ article, writes that while Peterson would “provide for an entertaining season,” the Cowboys have “smarter courses of action” available than mortgaging the future — in some way, shape or form — than acquiring a high-mileage, high-priced, aging running back.
