EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said Tuesday that the team has “no interest” in trading Adrian Peterson.
“Our position has not changed since all the statements we made at owner’s meetings (in March),” Spielman said when asked about the running back in a pre-draft press conference. “Adrian Peterson is under contract. The suspension was lifted. We’re looking forward to having Adrian Peterson back as a Minnesota Viking in 2015, and that’s the end of the story.
“I think Coach (Mike) Zimmer stated it pretty clear that we have no interest in trading Adrian Peterson, and we don’t,” Spielman added.
