Washington has exercised their 2020 option on the contract of Adrian Peterson.
Peterson had signed a two-year deal with the team option last offseason. He\'ll receive a $2.25 million base salary with a roster bonus of $109,375. He carries a $3.1 million salary-cap hit.
Peterson has played in 31 of 32 games since joining Washington.
\"Going into this season, there\'s so much more I can do and how I can help this team,\" Peterson told ESPN by phone on Wednesday. \"My mentality is showing the Adrian Peterson of old and not just flashes; really showing, \'Wow, this cat is on a whole different level.\'\"
