3. Green Bay Packers
Right off the bat, Peterson would get his wish granted to play with a distinguished quarterback, and one of the best, in Aaron Rodgers. The Packers might also consider it quite the steal to sign a back who played for a divisional rival team for so many years.
The Packers ran into running back trouble last season when both Eddie Lacy and James Starks became injured. Both running backs are also free agents. Lacy had a terrible year performance-wise and struggled with his weight. He might decide he needs a fresh start despite the Packers saying they are open to him returning in 2017.
The Packers scrambled around last season signing various free agents aboard. Eventually, Ty Montgomery played a dual role and served as the team’s primary rusher for the latter part of the season.
Adding Peterson to the mix wouldn’t be a horrible thing. Despite last year’s down season, Peterson maintained an average of 4.9 yards per carry during his tenure in Minnesota.
If anything, the Packers could try to trade Peterson should Montgomery turn out to be the real deal in his quest to transform into a running back.
