Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is not worth $5 million on a one-year contract according to several NFL general managers, reports Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
It looks like Peterson is nearing the end of his tenure with Minnesota, but that doesn't mean he'll be greeted with open arms once he becomes a free agent. Per La Canfora, teams have "real concerns" about Peterson's durability and question whether he'd be willing to take on a backup role. Despite his Hall of Fame credentials, it seems like most GMs view the current version of Peterson as an injury-prone liability.
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.
