The Arizona Cardinals have gotten off to a slow start this season and it has become apparent that they are not going to be a playoff contender this season. That could lead the consideration of trading key pieces for the right prices. One of those players could be star cornerback Patrick Peterson.
According to a report from Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Cardinals are open to the idea of trading Peterson if the right offer presents itself.
The Arizona Cardinals could be one of the NFL's most active teams ahead of the trade deadline, with league sources indicating that All-Pro corner Patrick Peterson is among the players the team is willing to move.
Peterson has been mentioned as a potential trade chip for the last few seasons. Arizona has opted to keep him around, but a rebuild could be coming in the near future. If that is the case, the Cardinals would be wise to try to trade him and get as much as they can.
Throughout the first five games of the 2018 NFL season, Peterson has racked up 24 tackles to go along with a sack, a fumble recovery, an interception, and two defended passes.
If Arizona does end up trading Peterson, it will be interesting to see where he ends up. There are quite a few teams that could use an upgrade at the cornerback position. Every team could use an impact player like Peterson on the defensive side of the football.
At 28 years old, Peterson still has a few more seasons of his prime left to play. He is under contract through the 2020 season.
Expect to hear Peterson's name come up often in trade rumors. He may not end up leaving Arizona, but they are definitely open to the idea at the right price.
