Adrian Peterson knew the Vikings weren’t letting him go

There was plenty of huffing and puffing in the offseason from people close to Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Ultimately, however, Peterson realized no one was going to be blowing down any houses.

“The reality, and just to be straightforward with you,” Peterson told Peter King of TheMMQB.com. “I knew I really wasn’t going anywhere. I am the type of person that likes to look at things from different views, so I put myself in the Vikings situation — the owners, the head coach. We’re not gonna let you go. I revert back to the Percy Harvin situation.
