Patrick Peterson reportedly wants out, but he probably won’t get his wish.
The Arizona Cardinals cornerback has requested a trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday, citing sources. Peterson’s insistence on a trade comes despite Arizona’s steadfast reluctance to dealing him.

Now, Arizona wouldn’t be the first franchise to insist it’s not trading a player, only to deal them soon after. This quote from Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks, however, likely will end any further speculation:
Cardinals coach Steve Wilks: "We're not trading Patrick."

At 28 years old, Peterson still is among the premier cornerbacks in the NFL. He’s also among the league’s most effective punt returners when given the opportunity.
The LSU product is a seven-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro.
