Oakland Raiders Rumors: Adrian Peterson Trade Must Be Pursued

This offseason, the Oakland Raiders went after free agent running back DeMarco Murray and failed. Now, they should turn their attention to trading for Adrian Peterson following his reinstatement with the Minnesota Vikings.

Since Peterson was suspended for all but one game of the 2014 NFL season for hitting his son with a “switch,” the All-Pro running back has been finding reasons to want out of Minnesota. Between claims the team didn’t support him during his suspension and his agent getting hostile with team officials, it appears Peterson is set on ending his time with the Vikings.
