Atlanta Falcons: If Possible, Sign Adrian Peterson?
By Sam Kweon

Why should the Atlanta Falcons make the move?
He’s Adrian Peterson. Bringing him into the team would mean so many things for the offense. Peterson would add another dimension of an offensive dominance. His stats so far, and he’s only 29 years old, would be enough to mark him down as one of the best running backs in the history of the NFL.
A.P. has hands down been the best running back in the league these past seven years. Averaging 1,445 yards per season to go along with 12.28 touchdowns per season, there really is no one that is more consistent and hard-working as Peterson is.

Forget the defense right now. If the Falcons were to sign Peterson, this would mean that Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and A.P. would all be on one offense together. Heck, this may become the best offense of the decade.
Another positive from signing the veteran is his leadership and personality. As every fan from the NFL would agree with me, Peterson should not be judged from his latest incident. A.P. is a leader on and off the field, and sets the bar high for an organized team. He can immediately come in and guide the team into shape. Not to mention a Super Bowl.
