(UPDATED) Report: Lions Trade Redding to Seattle for Peterson

i like the idea.

Love to see Peterson and Carter together again but no money means know Peterson!

Probably should have signed him rather than Carter when they were both free agents with the Niners. The Skins should bring this DC native home...

You are so right. What I like most about Peterson is regardless of the team he is playing on, he has been on some shitty 49er teams, the guy contiues to produce at a very high levelof play. That is a true sign of a very talented player. No excuses for this guy like, he get double teamed or he plays next to a bad player.
Peterson had a career high 10 sacks in 2006 and 9.5 sacks in 2007. He is a strong side LB. He is a very good athlete.

Imagine Peterson finally playing on a talented defense with players like Albert Hayneswoth, London Fletcher, Cornelius Griffen, LaRon Landry, Chris Horton, DeAngelo Hall, CArlos Rogers, Andre Carter and maybe a new DE like rookie Brain Okrapo? Add in the enticement of playing on his home team.
Our defense could step up into the ranks of the elite defenses like Steelers and Ravens. Defense wins championships.

I could go either way. I would love to have JP but I would also like to draft at this postion and work through the draft. But im 50/50. If we go after him, awesome if not bring on the draft.
Hail

Has to be for the right price...

I don't think going after Peterson is a good idea. How about letting Blades come in and take over for MW? He's ready now, he's been here for a few years and he's one of our own.

Great post. I agree wholeheartedly. This guy, along with AH, could really be a difference maker on this team. He would be an excellent pick up.

I'm down like a clown if we can afford him... I think the hangup might be our FO knowing it also will have to address RT in FA and I'm not sure we have cap room for both (and Daniels or whoever at LDE). According to Schneed's cap thread if we forget about Pete Kendell we could pay JP around $3.5m this year and still pick up Daniels ($2m) and a starter on the o-line for about $3.5m. Personally I would do this as signing a starter @ RT allows Jansen to move inside as a backup w/ Rinehart and Geisinger.

... this scenario also allows us to truly take the BPAs in the draft. Good shit.

There's no way he's coming here, we have no money.

I have always liked Peterson. It's kind of ironic that he's still a desirable player that came out of the same draft that we selected Arrington #2 overall. Peterson has been the much better player, and I would be happy for him to come home to Washington.
