Adrian Peterson Won't Attend OTAs With Vikings 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon May 25, 2015 4:26 am

Adrian Peterson will not attend optional team practices this week with the Minnesota Viings.

Peterson did attend the optional workouts last summer while Zimmer was orienting himself in his first months on the job, but has skipped them in the past. 

 

This time, however, it could cost him a $250,000 workout bonus and comes in the context of his expressed unhappiness with the organization.

Peterson has made it clear through his representatives this offseason that he would like to play elsewhere next season because he does not believe the Vikings showed enough support of him while he was dealing with child abuse charges last season.

I don't watch a lot of football, but I do understand that it is business and what Peterson has to understand is that, the Vikings made a BUSINESS DECISION to not let him play. He should be GRATEFUL that the Vikings wants him back in the first place. When it comes to "abuse" last season was the NFL worst year, when it came to handling punishment.
