BREAKING: ADRIAN PETERSON, VIKINGS PART WAYS

Hi, as you can see in the title, this is crazy but other crazy things happened today too so I will talk about those first:
-Steelers sign WR Antonio Brown to a 5 year extension and franchise tag RB Le'Veon Bell
-The Chiefs sign S Eric Berry to a huge deal making him the highest paid safety in football
-The Redskins franchise tag QB Kirk Cousins, The Chargers franchise tag LB Melvin Ingram
the Cardinals franchise tag DE Chandler Jones, the Giants franchise tag DE Jason Pierre-Paul, and the Panthers franchise tag DT Kawann Short. Also Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles has been released. Theres more even...Jets release CB Darrelle Revis. Now finally here is my take on Adrian Peterson:


I knew that there was about a 50 percent chance the Vikings kept Peterson and a 50 percent chance they didn't. They chose not to. Peterson had a terrible season this year after only playing a few games due to an injury. He looked old and a bit washed up and no one could tell if it was just because of injuries. The year before though Peterson had an absolute monster season carrying the Vikings to the playoffs. The Vikings run game was one of the worst in the league this season. Peterson's release means that the team is moving on and will find another running back. Peterson looks like he may be on the wrong side of 30 but obviously we don't know because last season Peterson was plagued with injuries.
Now we will talk about potiential landing spots for the future hall of fame RB.

1. New York Giants: The Giants have always had one of the worst run games in the league and getting Peterson would be the biggest star they will have ever had at RB probably. Rashad Jennings has been cut so unless they intend of starting Paul Perkins, Peterson will likely join Big Blue he even commented that the Giants were making some "interesting moves" this means he might want to be on their team?

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: RB Doug Martin's future is up in the air and who knows if he will ever play again? The team I think has interest in Peterson because Jaquizz Rodgers isn't good enough to be a starter and Peterson is likely to become a Buc.

3. Dallas Cowboys: This may surprise a lot of people but Peterson is also likely to go to Dallas. Owner Jerry Jones has said he really wants Peterson and Peterson earlier said maybe he wanted to end his career in Dallas. Apparently he would be a "sidekick" for Ezekiel Elliott if the Cowboys are trying to re-create the Falcons success with their RB duo.

4. Oakland Raiders: The Raiders may get rid of RB Latavius Murray and make room for Adrian Peterson. The team has some interest in him and getting a veteran RB would really help a pretty young offense.

5. Green Bay Packers: With questions about Eddie Lacy returning and the Packers run game not doing well, I think there is a strong chance Peterson goes out to Green Bay. I'm sure he would like to play for a contender team with a great QB. Peterson could be great if he went out to Pack.

Some other landing spots are Minnesota Vikings (they didn't rule it out), Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, and more.

Thanks for reading about all this news and if you didn't already know the new league year opens on March 9th which is a little over a week from now and thats when teams can sign these players like Peterson.
