Adrian Peterson traded to Cardinals for an undisclosed draft pick
By: Dylan Aufman and Jayanth Mani
October 10, 2017: New Orleans Saints running back Adrian Peterson has been traded to the Arizona Cardinals for a 2018 undisclosed draft pick, meaning that only they know what round the draft pick is. Peterson has run for only 81 yards on the season, which is very low for a NFL running back of his caliber. Moreover, Peterson has been getting very few carries, because the Saints have other capable running backs in Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram.
Here is what our classmates think:
William:
“I think this is a good trade for both trade for both teams. The Arizona Cardinals just lost David Johnson in a bad injury, he is out for the season. The Cardinals need a good running back if they want to go big this year. The Saints have good backup running backs such as Mark Ingram. Also, Peterson wasn’t doing that well on the Saints. Peterson found home on the Vikings and I think he can find home on the Cardinals as well.”
