Adrian Peterson Goes On A Twitter Rant About His Contract
Adrian Peterson and his agent don’t want to be with the Minnesota Vikings anymore. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday that the running back “can play for us. Or he can not play.” While the two sides got nowhere, Peterson went ahead and aired grievances through Twitter. He sounds like he really wants a trade.
Someone answer him so he can continue.
NFL teams do hold a gigantic advantage over players when it comes to contracts, but Peterson has very little leverage here—and still doesn’t appear to understand why.
