Patrick Peterson Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings signed Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson to a one-year deal worth $10 million on Thursday. The perennial All-Pro cornerback and former Arizona Cardinal will join a Vikings defense that was routinely shredded in 2020. Peterson may not be the elite shutdown corner he was earlier in his career with the Cardinals, but he did play very well late last season and will be a big upgrade to Minnesota's secondary in 2021. The 30-year-old has allowed over 100 yards to an opposing wideout in just one game since the 2015 season, according to Pro Football Focus. Peterson has also missed just six games in his 10-year career, proving to be extremely durable. The eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro had 61 combined tackles (52 solo), three interceptions and eight passes defensed in his final season with Arizona in 2020.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said he hasn't really had any contract talks with the team as he enters the final year of his current deal. "I feel I have a lot to prove," Peterson said. He also said he would love to stay with one team in his career and praised the organization. The 29-year-old was suspended for the first six games of 2019 and was a bit rusty upon his return. He finished with 53 tackles (46 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed and one forced fumble in his 10 games. The Cardinals have potential on defense with some playmakers in the middle of the field, but they'll need Peterson to return to his All-Pro form in order to make some noise in a loaded NFC West division.

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that the team has had initial contract-extension talks with cornerback Patrick Peterson, who is heading into the final year of his contract. Peterson, a fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft, has been one of the best cover corners in his nine seasons in the NFL. He missed the first six games of last season due to suspension and finished 2019 with 53 total tackles (46 solo), one sack, one forced fumble and two interceptions. He had a falling out with Arizona recently, but he has gone back on trade demands and is willing to remain in the desert.
