Vikings plan on completing 'tough analysis' of Adrian Peterson
Minnesota Vikings co-owner Mark Wilf said some "tough analysis" will be needed before the team decides whether to bring back running back Adrian Peterson next season.
"He’s one of the greatest Vikings of all time and certainly one of the greatest players of all time," said Wilf. "It’s a tough analysis we’re going to have to go through here." The St. Paul Pioneer Press' Chris Tomasson believes there's "no chance" Peterson will return at his current $18 million salary, and he's not alone in holding that feeling. The Vikings are basically left to either restructure the deal, or release the future Hall of Famer. Peterson is due a $6 million roster bonus on March 11, so expect a decision to be made by then.
There were 88 running backs to notch at least 30 rushing attempts this year. Peterson earned -0.39 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt, by far the worst rate among that group.
