Former Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson embarked on a second act to his career, departing the desert after 10 seasons, eight Pro Bowls, and three First-Team All-Pro selections.
On St. Patrick’s Day, Patrick Peterson chose the Minnesota Vikings as the destination for that next chapter. The 31-year-old was nowhere near the Vikings radar for free agent possibilities – nobody knew he had an eye on Minnesota. He’ll earn $8 million in 2021 for a one-year stint with the Vikings, a team hoping to rebound from a mediocre 2020 season that ended with a 7-9 standing. Peterson in the secondary should be an apt move to rectify the NFL’s fourth-worst defense in 2020.
