You're not missing anything man.
As Mark65 said, he's a Hightower upgrade. As much as we all appreciated Tjm (great guy, leader, etc), we needed to upgrade the backfield. Hightower wasn't running for anything after contact.
We're adding potential to have two running backs that can scare a defense. Will it work out? Dunno. But if Peterson can take 150+ ish carries for more damage than Hightower could, then it makes the offense more dangerous. We had the cap space.
That's all there is to it.
