ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins addressed their running back woes by adding a big-name veteran on Monday: Seven-time Pro Bowler Adrian Peterson. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the 33-year-old running back is expected to officially sign a one-year deal, pending a physical.
Peterson spent 10 seasons in Minnesota before splitting time in New Orleans and Arizona during 2017. The former 1,000-yard rusher signed a two-year deal with the Saints but was traded to the Cardinals on Oct. 10 and was released at the end of the season. But despite his accolades — Peterson, a four-time all pro selection and 2012 NFL MVP, is 12th on the all-time rushing yards list — he remained unsigned after posting only 529 rushing yards in 10 games last year.
