Does Adrian Peterson's Renaissance Mean He'll Be Back With the Vikings Next Season?
This week’s podcast guest is Tom Pelissero from USA Today. Pelissero primarily covers the Vikings. We asked him about whether he could have foreseen Adrian Peterson leading the league in rushing at this point, after returning from nearly a year away from football. Has Peterson forced the Vikings hand to pay him a March roster bonus, and bring him back next year at an $11 million cap hit?
From there we talked about Teddy Bridgewater, and whether it would be a backhanded compliment to call him a game manager. Winners of five in a row, the Vikings host the Packers in a game that will go a long way in determining the favorite in the NFC North. Right now, who’s Pelissero’s pick in the division?
