Should the Vikings have traded Adrian Peterson?

[CGI_Ram]

I was reading this article on ESPN: (it's not a great article, so I don't advise wasting your time)

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9...stake-minnesota-vikings?ex_cid=espnapi_public

But it got me thinking; why didn't the Vikings trade him?

At 1-6...The Vikings season is over.

Peterson is 28 and will be 29 before next season.

For Peterson's sake; a chance to go to a winner.

For the Vikings; the chance to recoup some value as he approaches 30.

Peterson's best years are behind him. Sure, he's a legend and future HOF... but was it wise to hold onto him at the trade deadline?

depends on what he wanted to do and what people were offering

I would NOT have wanted to be the guy who made that decision,Maximus said "what you do here will echo through eternity".
If you could get a Hershal Walker/ RGIII / Rickey Williams offer maybe , but it would have to be that sort of thing or you'd need armed escorts to get to work.
