Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson "trusted the wrong people," his attorney said, and is deeply in debt -- after making nearly $100 million in his career.
Peterson is being sued for failing to pay back a $5.2 million loan, The Athletic reported.
According to The Athletic, Peterson, after interest and legal fees, owes $6.6 million to DeAngelo Vehicle Sales, who claimed he had defaulted on his loan in the lawsuit that was filed in New York. Peterson had borrowed money from the lending company to pay off other creditors, and he also must pay a combined $3 million to two other creditors.
