Updated: The team makes it official
Initial Report:
Twitter exploded a short time ago with sourced/confirmed reports that the Washington Football Team released Adrian Peterson. The initial report was from NFL Network.
A surprise: The Washington Football Team is releasing legendary RB Adrian Peterson, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo.

While some people had predicted that Peterson would be released, they seem to have been a small minority.
