The Dallas Cowboys could trade a couple of first rounds picks to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for MVP running back Adrian Peterson, multiple sources reported on Friday.

The Cowboys, who boast a 4-3 record heading into the eighth week of the season, are considered as one of potential teams interested in trading for Peterson.

With DeMarco Murray struggling on the field with a knee injury, the Cowboys are now starting to look for a running back and Peterson's name is certainly up there.

Peterson To "Big D"

According to Fan Sided.com, the Cowboys might need to trade away two first round draft picks to get Peterson out of Minnesota.

At 1-5, the Vikings' season is virtually over as they head into a rivalry clash with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Getting draft picks will certainly help the Vikings' fast-track rebuilding without Peterson.  

On the other hand, the Cowboys (4-3) are currently on top of a very weak NFC East Division, but they are direly in need of an explosive rusher. If Dallas pulls off this trade, they will instantly improve their rankings in the NFC.

Hold Your Horses, Cowboys Fans

According to Conn, the Adrian Peterson trade between the Cowboys and Vikings might look very intriguing, but nevertheless may be impossible to pull off because of financial road blocks.   

"The Cowboys' one big issue in all of this is their salary cap. Prior to the Cowboys' signing of former second round selection Marvin Austin, they had approximately $2 million in cap space. Can you afford to get Peterson with their cap issues ? Well not exactly. In order for this kind of deal to be done, Minnesota would have to eat up at least 70 percent of his contract this season and a large portion moving forward," the writer said.

"In order for this trade to take place, Minnesota would have to pay the remainder of Peterson's $7.2 million signing bonus. With only $750,000 available in cap space, according to Over the Cap , that makes this trade proposal virtually impossible," Conn added.
