Recently asked if he’ll be present for voluntary offseason workouts in Minnesota, running back Adrian Peterson said, “We’ll see.  I haven’t even been reinstated yet.”

He has since been reinstated, but Peterson isn’t expected to show.  That’s the word from Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Peterson’s $13 million compensation package for 2015 includes a $250,000 workout bonus.  Most workout bonuses contain a fairly high threshold for participation, often 80 or 90 percent.

For Peterson, the money is a drop in the bucket, if he’s looking for a new deal and/or a new team.
