Looks like retiring and headed to broadcasting. I guess Houston and Denver didn't want him.
He's still done...supposedly but now they're saying the release will be official on June 1st.
What the heck is going on in Dallas, get it together!

Not sure what ever happened with Malcolm Butler, but the Saints are now showing as the odds on favorite as the team that Richard Sherman will play for next season.
Now that Aaron Hernandez may have his conviction posthumously vacated — under an obscure Massachusetts legal doctrine — the Patriots could owe him money, a lawyer said Thursday.
The Pats may actually be contractually obligated to pay Hernandez’s estate a $3.5 million bonus that was stopped hours after his murder arrest in 2013, attorney William Kennedy told the CBS affiliate in Boston.
Kennedy represents the families of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu. Hernandez was acquitted in their shooting murders last week — only to commit suicide Wednesday in the Massachusetts prison cell where he was serving life without parole for another murder.
The Patriots may also owe Hernandez an additional $2.5 million in guaranteed base salary that was also halted after his 2013 arrest, lawyer Michael Coyne told CSNNE.com.
The Furtado-de Abreu wrongful death suit is one of three victim lawsuits still pending against the Hernandez estate; lawyers in the cases say they will continue seeking compensation despite the disgraced player’s suicide.
Sweetening that pot, legal experts believe Hernandez’s murder conviction — for the 2013 shooting death of his pal, semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd — will likely now be vacated under an archaic legal doctrine, memorialized in Massachusetts case law, called “abatement ab initio.”

Yup.
His lawyer is a legal genius.
Sleazy, terrible, how do you sleep at night, legal genius.

Weird, as he doesn't seem to fit the offense at all.
But depending on the contract and whether he can give us a year or 2 of anywhere near vintage or just 2015 Peterson, can't really complain.
Pretty much every RB we've had with Brees has been pretty solid catching out of the backfield, something Peterson doesn't really do much.

Looks like a 1 year/$3mil deal, I think. In that case, I'm definitely on board. We have cap space, and with the Malcolm Butler deal looking like a no go, we aren't really losing out on anyone else with this deal.
But with Saints running backs, I thought CJ Spiller was a perfect fit and would put up career numbers in New Orleans, and that didn't exactly happen, so who knows what happens here.

Yea I thought that was an interesting choice as well.
It made me think the market for him is rather small and he didn't show well at his other visits to organizations? Especially at such a low contract.
