RENTON, Wash. -- Four days after he was waived by the Tennessee Titans last week, Adrian Peterson went to see his alma mater, Oklahoma, play rival Oklahoma State in Stillwater. He was getting out of his car to begin tailgating when his agent called to tell him the Seattle Seahawks were interested in signing him.
Peterson's response: "I'll be good to go. Obviously, I still want to play."
On Thursday, a day after joining Seattle's practice squad, the veteran running back was asked why he still wants to play at 36 years old and more than 14 seasons into a hall-of-fame career.
