Twitter reacts to Adrian Peterson being traded to Cardinals

We got some breaking news on Tuesday that opened up eyeballs in a big way nationally. The New Orleans Saints sent running back Adrian Peterson to the Arizona Cardinals in a trade for a conditional draft pick.

The Saints were obviously not a match for Peterson. A trade to the Cardinals, who are struggling with their run game, could be the right fit.

Not surprisingly the folks on Twitter had plenty to say about this surprise trade.

First a Saint, now a Cardinal…next Adrian Peterson will be the Pope

CJ2K, Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald and Carson Palmer woulda been a dream team. AZ offense is basically an old folks home

the Cardinals trading for Adrian Peterson, I don't get it. The team is old enough as it is. I'm absolutely convinced they're toast now.

Adrian Peterson sucks bad.

That the Saints got anything for him is a net gain. He has no explosiveness at all anymore.

Larry likes it, even if many on social media do not.

#Fitz is pretty psyched after seeing the news of the @AdrianPeterson trade! https://t.co/SsWJp4xiBw
