Rapoport was on NFL Network earlier and he said Peterson knows he'll be playing for the Vikings next year (duh). A person close to Peterson told Rapoport that he had resigned himself to that fact even before the draft even though he still had some uneasiness about it. He also said don't be surprised if Peterson shows up for OTAs in a few weeks.

If that's how this plays out, the only thing him and his agent accomplished the past few months was hurting his reputation even more and getting more people angry at him.

The fact that AD hasn't fired him already pisses me off.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

In my eyes, Dogra has done his job. Even before the start of the 2014 season, there were rumblings about restructuring Peterson's contact. Now, in 2015, most are just glad he's a Viking, nevermind his 13M pricetag. I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings end up honoring his entire contract .

I heard somewhere along the line that Dogra doesn't get paid anymore money unless AP gets a new deal, is that true?

He'll get money for any new endorsement deals, I would assume. Any new money coming through the door, he'd get a cut. I have no idea outside of that.

And it begins again. God damn you Jerry.
Jerry Jones says he'd trade the 2016 1st round pick for a RB. #Cowboys

Long as he wears the horns I guess. :confused:
I'm on the record as not giving a rat's behind whether he's a Viking or not... Tired of the drama. We can get along fine, either way.

At least it didn't mention AD's name.

I've already counted my RB chickens for next season....hope it doesn't change.

Right now I consider what Jones said to be much ado about nothing. Well, nothing regarding Adrian Peterson.
