Who Needs a Veteran NFL Running Back?
Two fantasy football regulars are going to be free agents.
FOX’s Chris Hoenig reports:
The Minnesota Vikings announcing they will not pick up the $18-million option on Adrian Peterson’s contract for the upcoming season, releasing the franchise’s all-time leading rusher after 10 years.
Peterson has suggested that the Giants, Buccaneers and Texans may be attractive teams, but also said after the season:
(Peterson) “I would love to finish my career here with the Minnesota Vikings. That’s where my mind is.”
Vikings GM Rick Spielman says they are open to re-signing the soon-to-be 32-year-old at a lower salary.
The Kansas City Chiefs, meanwhile, releasing their all-time leading rusher, Jamaal Charles, after nine years in Kansas City.
