Reports surfaced on Sunday evening that Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson wouldn’t be on hand for the team’s OTAs this week.
That’s a sign of the 30-year-old running back playing hardball with the team. This all stems from Peterson feeling disrespected by the way the Vikings didn’t support him during his entire child abuse case. In addition to this, Peterson is looking for more money from the team.
On the wrong side of 30 and coming off a lost year, Peterson doesn’t have much leverage here. That hasn’t stopped him from playing whatever card he thinks he holds.
