Patrick Peterson wants out of Arizona; 5 Potential landing spots





Article by Antwon "Smitty" Smith 

Arizona Cardinals All-Pro Defensive Back Patrick Peterson wants out of Arizona according to multiple sources and he expects to be traded by the October 30th deadline. Peterson citing that things are "deteriorating" with the team, even with new head coach Steve Wilks. Arizona is off to a 1-6 start in 2018 and seem to be headed towards another top 10 pick. The 7x-time pro bowl corner will have some suitors and here are the teams that make the most sense in my opinion.

New Orleans Saints


The Saints always need help at corner and Peterson's freakish athletic ability would help a Saints secondary that needs a playmaker. It would also help their pass rush, which given the time could be one of the best. If he lands here they rise to the top of the NFC.

Kansas City Chiefs


Andy Reid needs to get Eric Berry some help back in their decimated defensive backfield. They traded Marcus Peters this past off-season and need to find a replacement because their corners give up to many big plays.

Green Bay Packers 


The Packers have a young secondary and need a veteran presence to mentor them as they grow. Peterson could be the missing piece this defense needs to get back to a respectable level.

New England Patriots


The Pats are the Yankees of the NFL, if they see a star on the market their name will likely come up in the conversation, even if they don't pursue. New England has a veteran secondary that can play but a playmaker like Peterson wouldn't hurt at all.

Atlanta Falcons


I know this is a reach but Desmond Trufant hasn't been the same since his 2016 season ending injury and to make and even swap (contract numbers are similar) , the Cardinals could also receive a 3rd rounder and both teams win.


Yes, even though Steve Wilks insists Arizona will not part ways with Patrick Peterson, they would probably like to get the remaining 2 years/$25 million off the books. Patrick Peterson is only 28 years old so he's still a young top tier defensive back in the league.
