Adrian Peterson thinks he’s driving the negotiations with the Minnesota Vikings to get himself traded to pretty much anywhere. General manager Rick Spielman thinks otherwise.
As adamant as Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer have been about not trading their stud running back, rumors continue to circulate that Peterson could be with anywhere from two to six teams by the end of the week. The Arizona Cardinals seem to be the top landing spot with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys as distant seconds (some say they’re complete out of the running).
The fact of the matter is, the Vikings expect Peterson to honor his contract and play out with the team.
