The Raiders, like other teams on this list, have a lot of capital at their disposal, a need at running back, and a young quarterback that would benefit greatly from having Peterson to help him along in his development.
The more I write that, it sucks for the Vikings that Peterson might not be there to help Teddy Bridgewater develop. That would be fun to watch…
At any rate, the Raiders are full of holes still, and they don’t have a ton to offer the Vikings. Their trade proposal would probably have to look pretty similar to Jacksonville’s, though they could maybe throw in Latavius Murray to sweeten things if they wanted.
With his health concerns, I doubt the Vikings would be into that.
