Four-time All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson hasn't officially hung up his cleats yet, but he acknowledged to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he'll officially retire if an opportunity does not arise this season.

"Mentally, I haven't officially hung it up. We'll see what happens," Peterson told Hill. "My mindset is, if God's willing, maybe an opportunity presents itself, and maybe it happens this season. I'll go from there. But [if] nothing happens this season, for sure, I will be hanging it up."

Peterson last played in the NFL in 2021, when he had 98 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 38 carries for the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks over four games.
