QUOTE OF THE DAY
"If you're a general manager and you're a team that is right on the verge of being an elite team, a Super Bowl contender, I wouldn't go out and draft a young running back. I think Adrian is somebody I'm going to go out and get because he can put you over the top."

THE MORNING BREW
Finding Adrian Peterson's best NFL fit
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has a tough case on his hands—this time outside the courthouse.
the courthouse.
Peterson has made it apparent that he may not want to resign as a Viking. After Peterson's indicted child abuse charges last year, he did not feel the Vikings were welcoming and that there might be a better fit elsewhere.
The Minnesota Vikings drafted Peterson in 2007. Since then, he has won multiple awards, broken several NFL records and became one of the best running backs in the NFL.
When Peterson signed his contract in 2011, he was guaranteed $36 million, and he has received all of the guarantee money at this point. However, Peterson's high-paying salary will work against him during trading. Most teams cannot match the cap space that the Vikings have. However, that has not prevented all teams from being a possibility for Peterson.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
The Jaguars do not suffer from cap size issues, making Peterson within their budget. Gaining Peterson would mean an upgrade from Denard Robinson and reuniting Peterson with his

former teammate, Toby Gerhart. Off the field, Peterson could boost the Jaguars' franchise and media attention, although it's far from a perfect fit.
After all, Peterson may have hesitation toward Jacksonville because it is a young team that has yet to prove itself. With a player of Peterson's caliber, there are still tons of opportunities to play for already established teams.
ARIZONA CARDINALS
Right now, there are a few ways the Cardinals could acquire Peterson. First, they could get him from a trade with the Vikings for a draft pick, which would require Peterson to rework his contract, but that does not seem likely.
The other route Arizona could go is trading starting quarterback Carson Palmer in hopes to use a first-round draft pick on a quarterback. The Cardinals would then foresee using Adrian Peterson the next three years. Overall, the Cardinals see Peterson as "the complete package" according to Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
With the lack of production from Doug Martin and Bobby Rainey, the Buccaneers could utilize Peterson in the backfield. Since the Buccaneers are looking at obtaining a rookie quarterback, having Peterson in the backfield will help ease the growth. Peterson has shown much interest in the Buccaneers as they are able to accommodate to his high salary. Although, Tampa Bay will have to hand over more than just money to gain Peterson. The team's 34th selection in the draft will not be enough for a one-on-one trade.
As a native Texan, Peterson is very interested in the Cowboys, yet they have shown no interest in him. Owner Jerry Jones has not reached out to Peterson at this point, and according to Yahoo Sports, he does not want to pay the price the Vikings demanded.
However, this wouldn't be first time Jones has changed his mind during the offseason. With the reworking of Tony Romo's deal, the Cowboys are capable of adding Peterson with the
DALLAS COWBOYS
right trade. But another problem emerges, in that the Cowboys are not interested in trading for veterans, and they could possibly be deterred by a player with a scandal on his profile.
If Peterson stays put with the Vikings, what will happen? He has already been offered $13 million for 2015, an unguaranteed salary of $15 million for 2016 and $17 million for 2017. In addition, they have discussed alleviating some of his injury-risk with guaranteed money. Resigning with the Vikings is Peterson's only safe bet at not losing any money.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Deals are continuously being discussed and strings are being pulled all in an effort to gain Adrian Peterson. However, no one will know for sure where Peterson is going to play until this weekend's NFL Draft.

Wichita State cancels softball matchup against Kansas, cites scheduling concerns
The Jayhawks will get an extended break between games this week, as the regularly scheduled Tuesday matchup against the Wichita State Shockers has been canceled.
According to a University release, Wichita State canceled the match due to overscheduling concerns. NCAA regulations limit each Division I team to 56 games per season, not including postseason contests. Tuesday's game would have put the Shockers over this limit.
The match will not be rescheduled.
Due to the cancellation, the Jayhawks will finish the season with an impressive 30-3 record against nonconference teams. The Jayhawks will be back in action Friday at 5 p.m. for the final home conference series of the 2015 season against the No. 13 Baylor Bears.
during Saturday's game, the Jayhawks will honor their senior class, composed of infielders Maddie Stein and Chanin Naudin, as well as pitchers Beth Wilson and Alicia Pille.
