So long, AP: Vikings will not exercise 2017 option on Adrian Petersen’s contract

Adrian Peterson

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – The Minnesota Vikings announced today the team will not exercise the 2017 option on RB Adrian Peterson’s contract. Peterson will become an unrestricted free agent on Thursday, March 9.

“Adrian is an important part of the Minnesota Vikings organization,” said Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman. “We will continue to have conversations with his representatives and leave our future options open while determining what is best for both parties moving forward.”

Peterson, 32, has played 10 years in the league. The former MVP would have been owed $17.75 million in 2017, CBS Sports reports.

If Petersen agrees to restructure his contract, there is a possibility he could re-sign with the Vikings.

Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata are veteran running backs on the roster.  The Vikings may elect to draft a running back this year.
