“It’s not a very good market for him,” said NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly, the former Redskins general manager. “I think he’ll have to take a significant pay cut. That much is obvious. If he can pass a physical, somebody will offer him a job. But it will be for a heck of a lot less money than he’s used to.”
The Vikings have a club option for $18M in 2017 which they would exercise by paying Peterson a $6M roster bonus in March. More significantly, Peterson turns 32 in March and is coming off an injury-plagued season that limited him to three games and 37 rushing attempts in 2016.
For his career, Peterson has rushed for 11,747 yards (16 all-time) and 102 total touchdowns. During his 10-year career, the Vikings have made zero Super Bowls and had just four playoff appearances, losing in the first-round three times.
