NFL insider Peter King: I think Adrian Peterson is gonna be a Dallas Cowboy
On the Cowboys
Peter King: I think they need Romo, as everybody who watched the game against Arizona saw. Arizona had no fear of Brandon Weeden beating them, so they crowded the box a little more than normal teams have done. They basically loaded up to stop DeMarco Murray. You're gonna see more of that if Weeden has to play. That's why Romo playing this week, and I anticipate that he will, is absolutely vital or I think they would be in severe danger of losing this game.
On Adrian Peterson playing in the future for Dallas.
Peter King: It just makes sense to me. If I had to go put money in Vegas on where Adrian Peterson would play, I'm not sure I would put it on Dallas. But sometimes you just get a feeling about things, about where you think something is headed. I just think Adrian Peterson, before he retires, is gonna be a Cowboy. I just do. I've always thought it and long before Jerry had that silly flirtation with him last year. He's a Texas guy. It strikes me as something Jerry would want to do. I have no inside information whatsoever. But if you ask me my gut feeling, if Adrian Peterson is out there on the street and the Cowboys have some cap room. I think the Cowboys will be interested in him. And everybody will say, 'wait a second. That's crazy. DeMarco Murray. They have to sign him.' There's no question about it. But I don't think the Cowboys are going to pay DeMarco Murray anywhere near what he wants to be paid. I think they'll end up reaching some agreement with him when push comes to shove. You're silly to pay running backs half of quarterback money in my opinion.
