Adrian Peterson might want elite veteran treatment, but he has aging veteran status

Adrian Peterson was planted firmly on both sides of the fence, professing a desire to finish his career as a Viking while also describing his situation as a “business” eight times during a 12-minute interview that might have been his last at Winter Park.

He praised the fans, expressed love for his teammates and the organization that drafted him in 2007. Before long, the only question that really begs to be answered — is he willing to negotiate the necessary pay cut to stay in Minnesota? — was barked from the scrum surrounding him.

The presumption is Peterson is unwilling and already is looking toward free agency in March because even he accepts the fact the Vikings aren’t going to pay him $18 million in 2017.
