The exempt list has been around for a while. Antonio Gates was put on it back in 05 when he wouldn't sign a new contract with the Chargers. I think it's so that way the player doesn't count against the roster size while whatever issue is being worked out. I thought it was mandatory that 3 games were missed by the player while on it.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
I think its the Exempt List for those who don't fit for any other list. Because Peterson and apparently hardy (should the team decide to do it) will be paid while on it. Most other lists you get to be on for being stubborn or detrimental don't involve your usual salary.Originally Posted by Cheesehead Craig
I think it is literally, the Commissioner is letting you stash the player here, list.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The Vikings hold a title the team doesn’t celebrate – the most players arrested in the NFL.
According to USA Today, 45 Minnesota Vikings have been arrested since 2000.
That’s double the league average.

Probably doesn't even include the Wizzinator Incident.
Because the Whizzinator was innovation working at its finest. Just like this guy:

Yep. Commissioner says "here is a mulligan" for some reason on roster count.

If my team screws up at work, I'm going to either hit them in the mouth or spank them. I'll report back later from home after I'm fired. But while at home if my kid spills milk on the floor, I'm beating her ass with a stick. Seems logical right?
Every time Peterson fumbles or misses a block, we know how to administer the proper discipline.
Charles also glosses over some minor brushes with the law of his own. Not exactly Rice or Peterson, but a plate glass window is a dangerous deterrent.

Jonathan Dwyer has been arrested in connection to a domestic assault that occurred in July. He has been deactivated.

Best part?
The Arizona Cardinals: We think the Vikings do too much in the way of background checks.Because he’s not a star player (unlike other accused players like Ray Rice, Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson), it wouldn’t be at all surprising for the Cardinals simply to cut him and try to get this case behind them as soon as possible.
Of course, if the Cardinals do cut Dwyer, the next man up on the roster would likely be practice squad running back Chris Rainey — who has had two separate domestic violence incidents, one in college that got him kicked off the team at Florida, and one in the NFL that got him cut by the Steelers. Which serves as a reminder that the NFL has to do a whole lot more to get domestic abusers out of the league.

They're just biding their time until they can draft Jameis Winston.

Now the Vikings are releasing Jerome Simpson for his forbidden love of mary jane.
70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.
It could be they released him for his parole violations. He's not a smart man.
We need some Bear and Lion players to get suspended to help balance the stupidity out.

Anyone else see the story about APs high school coach, he had a paddle he used on his players??? The more I see of this story, the more I think AP really thinks what he was doing was right, and good for the kid.

If AP had a paddle, he would still be on the team.

True, but a paddling by Daddy Peterson may not be a good thing for a four-year-old.
If you trust in scientific research, corporal punishment does more harm than good.
If you are suspicious of the experts, and you think spanking can do some good, well, the law lets you whack away to a point. The problem is, it takes a lot of self-control that you may lack. People who got beat by their own parents seem to lack that control.
He could sure use a paddle for that creek he's on.

Bump for new activity.
More digging == more dirt. Tax evasion? Ouch, you guys take that pretty seriously. Some Capone guy spent an awful long time in jail because of it and a couple of brewski's from what I've heard.
