Maybe.
But maybe not.
Let's say you're rebuilding and your offense is starting to look like it may gel. And you have your new hotness at QB for 5 years on a sweetheart deal. And you have this CB who's 29 years old and has maybe 2 good years left.
Why couldn't you sail on the momentum of an ascending offense to convince the fanbase that trading PP is to get additional capital to build around Murray and the next era of Cardinal football.
If anything it would be easier to trade Peterson if the team is showing progress than if it was wandering the wastelands. When teams suck, the fans only pay attention out of loyalty and intertia. That's when you lean on the "COME WATCH TAMBA HALI PLAY OUT THE STRING!!" sort of marketing. But when you have Patrick Mahomes - fuck this Derrick Johnson dragging ass stuff, we got games to win...
It may be better for the Chiefs if the Cardinals are a credible, interesting football team without PP for these first 6 weeks. [Reply]
He probably doesn't have many productive years left. Maybe not ANY left as an elite corner. Sure would be nice to have one even if just this year, but I just worry we would get fleeced on value.
Someone mentioned going after Josh Jackson in Green Bay. I like that idea a little better. Younger, upside, cheaper. [Reply]
