No, I wouldn't do it. Like said before, we don't need a RB like Peterson to have balance. Lacy is great for our offense, especially having Franklin to back him up.

Don't know why there are so many "No" votes. That's ridiculous, AP would absolutely tear it up in this offense. The guy is averaging 3.3 yards per carry this year AFTER CONTACT. He'd make a Superbowl run a heck of a lot easier.

Go for a C.

Why not just resign D-Smith?

Also Mike McCarthy said Lang can play Center (which I haven't seen or heard of him talking a snap for sure yet, but I'll trust Mike McCarthy on this one) and they're trying to teach Barclay to play Center (and maybe Sherrod or Bulaga can take RT from Barclay).

If both Peterson and Lacy cost the same, then sure, I'd prefer Peterson. Peterson is a better running back than Lacy, at this point, and likely will be for at least a couple more seasons. But the reality is they do not cost the same, which makes my vote an easy "no." Not worth the cap hit and the consequences of such.

It would be fun to watch though!

I'm not defending the Queens but what would they benefit from trading Peterson? I mean he's special. Every team has their special player, good or bad. He's their franchise player. He's not Trent Richardson, He's Adrian Peterson. The best running back in the league. Honestly the Vikings would be stupid to trade him unless it was for a franchise QB and no one in their right minds will do that.

I know we are only talking about this for poops and giggles. If there was a trade I could choose for fun/not totally impossible but (very unlikely) it would be acquiring Larry Fitzgerald. The Packers have proved they can develop and produce wins with the next man up in multiple positions. Jordy Nelson has been amazing and the run game has made this offense a multi threat. Boykin has filled in great as well.. I just think adding Larry would make this offense crazy scary. He has shown to be a huge weapon with no other threats around him. I think with Rodgers throwing to him he could return to the status of being considered one of the best in the league behind Megatron/Dez. We have shown we don’t need him these last few games and that’s awesome… I’m just thinking playoffs and facing a defense like Seattle. I think we could struggle against the elite secondary there. With Cobb and others set to return by then I hope I’m totally wrong. That fractured fibula injury sucks..will he be the same when he returns? I hope.. Finley is still a question mark as if he’ll play again. I think a trade like this would set us over the top as far as offense goes. It could be magic! Nelson/Cobb/Fitz/Jones… pick your poison. He’s 30 years old with a big contract sadly. With Jones potently walking after this season and Nelson deserving a rise I wish there was way lol.

When I read this, my first thought was it would be like somebody selling their soul to the devil for some quick pleasure. Yeah, getting Peterson might make the Packers a near sure thing for this years Super Bowl - assuming he didn't pull a hamstring or something hahaha, but after that, it's all down hill. Lacy seems to be the real deal and should be at least solid for a long time, maybe a lot better than solid. Put me down as a big hell no.

A more realistic idea would be trading a 3rd or 4th round pick for Jared Allen, but I wouldn't do that either. Allen couldn't even beat Bakhtiari last night with the whole world watching as he auditioned for a trade to some contender.
