Some think the Vikings landing Patrick Peterson this offseason was a great move. Others think that the $8 million price tag was a bit too high for the 30-year-old corner closer to the end than the beginning.
NFL.com writer Adam Schein thinks the Vikings landing Peterson was a great deal for both sides and that Peterson will have a successful year.
Here’s a bit of what Schein wrote about the fit:
I love where Peterson landed, though.
On a one-year deal in Minnesota — with a solid front seven in front of him, as well as a head coach in Mike Zimmer who has a PhD in defensive backs — Peterson will enjoy one more ride in the sun. Not to mention, he’ll serve as a valuable mentor to the Vikings’ corner group.
Given Jeff Gladney’s recent legal trouble, the Vikings will need Peterson more than they likely anticipated when signing him.
Schein listed nine players that many think will be disappointing in 2021 that he still believes in. You can check out his full list here.
