Patrick Peterson was apparently not someone the Minnesota Vikings had originally planned to pursue in free agency this year.

When it was revealed last week that the Minnesota Vikings had reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson, a burst of excitement was sent through the majority of the team’s fan base.

Peterson is a caliber of player that typically doesn’t make it to free agency. So it was incredibly significant when the veteran corner chose to sign with the Vikings.
