NFL Rumors: Cardinals Star Cornerback Patrick Peterson Requests Trade

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:

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.
