There was a time not too long ago when Adrian Peterson was arguably the most feared offensive player in the NFL—a threat to find the end zone every time he touched the football.
Cut to 2017, and the future Hall of Famer is on his third team in less than a year, traded to the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday after a tenure in New Orleans that was as disappointing as it was short.
While Peterson will at least get a chance to play in Arizona given the Cardinals' injury-ravaged backfield situation, it's fair to wonder whether the move signifies the opening of a new door or the door's closing on his NFL career.
