The Cardinals and cornerback Patrick Peterson are close to a new contract. Unless they aren’t.
Informed of the report from Yahoo Sports that a deal is close, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told PFT, “What does close mean?”
Per the source, the two sides have been talking about a new contract on and off for months. Talks eventually broke down. Within the past 48 hours, those talks have resumed.
Multiple sticking points still remain, including at least one that falls into the “deal breaker” category. If that and the other issues can be resolved, the deal will be done. If not, no deal happens, and Peterson will continue to be under contract for the next two years.
