With the Minnesota Vikings declining Adrian Peterson's $18 million contract, the former MVP has become one of the top free agents this coming season. With Adrian Peterson's resume, expect several teams to be on the hunt for the running back. Here are the possible team destinations for the running back.
According to Bleacher Report, Adrian Peterson is considering taking a pay cut for a chance to play with the Super Bowl champs. Adrian Peterson has already earned around $100 million and is looking to finally get a chance to win the Super Bowl with the Patriots.
On the other hand, the Patriots might be looking for a replacement as LeGarrette Blount might leave for free agency. The Patriots will be taking a risk if they decide to sign Adrian Peterson is coming off a disappointing season as injury woes severely limited his production to a career low of 1.9 yards per carry. But since Adrian Peterson is considering a pay cut, the risk might be minimal when compared to what the former MVP brings to the table.
Meanwhile, Ben Baskin of Sports Illustrated believes that the Dallas Cowboys would be a perfect fit for Adrian Peterson. But for Adrian Peterson, he would have to be willing to accept being the second back behind Ezekiel Elliot. But a duo of Adrian Peterson and Ezekiel Elliot will certainly bring problems to a lot of teams.
Chris Burke thinks that if Adrian Peterson wants a clear-cut starting job, the New York Giants is an ideal destination. But with the Giants, Adrian Peterson would have to split carries with Paul Perkins and handle most of the short yardage work.
Besides the New England Patriots, the Oakland Raiders could give Adrian Peterson the best chance of winning the Super Bowl. The Raiders have one of the best young quarterbacks in Latavius Murray and with Derek Carr, the team could challenge the Patriots for the AFC title.
