Seahawks Running Back Roulette: Who Fits Seattle Best?

4. Adrian Peterson

There are a myriad of reasons why Adrian “AP” Peterson doesn’t make a ton of sense. Not the least of which is cost. If AP is really interested in coming to Seattle on a one-year, heavily incentive-laden contract, than it makes a little sense. But does that really sound like AP?

What is more likely is that his agent is using Seattle and New England to push the Oakland Raiders to guarantee more money for the 32-year-old RB. Speaking of age, does a 32-year-old RB really make a ton of sense for the kind of money he will likely demand?

Injuries also make Peterson less desirable than other runners. In the past three seasons, he has played in one, 16, and three games. He has played in all 16 games just four times in his 10-year career. Peterson has also grown accustomed to skipping practices, which isn’t going to fly with the current coaching staff.

We haven’t even taken into account AP’s checkered pass. The Seahawks have been adamant in the past that striking a woman will result in black listing in the Seattle organization. It stands to reason that the same could be said for a child.
