History says Seahawks should avoid once-great Peterson, Charles

Adrian Peterson, once a great running back for the Minnesota Vikings, is about to become a free agent. The news broke Tuesday morning, a few hours before it was announced that Jamaal Charles, once a great running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, also is about to become a free agent.

Could either wind up in Seattle? It’s a pertinent question for two reasons.

Reason No. 1: Whenever a formerly accomplished player enters the wash cycle of his NFL career, he looks toward the Seahawks, and the Seahawks often return the look with a wink. It’s a tradition that long predates the current regime’s determination to turn over every rock, even those dappled with moss.
