During week 1 of the NFL season, Adrian Peterson got into it with Saints head coach Sean Payton for not using him enough during the game. Peterson’s lack of touches with the Saints led to Cardinals running back Chris Johnson sending out this tweet supporting AP.
AP NEED MORE TOUCHES

4 weeks later and Adrian Peterson is gone from the Saints and has now been traded to the Arizona Cardinals.
Confirmed: Saints have indeed traded Adrian Peterson to the Cardinals. Chris Johnson and Peterson are teammates. For now.

Unfortunately for veteran running back Chris Johnson he had to get cut to free up a roster spot for Peterson.

Of course everyone had to remind him about his “AP needs more touches tweet”.
