Vikings Sign Adrian Peterson to Five-Year, $40 Million Deal, $17 Million Guaranteed

The Vikings have reportedly signed first-round draft pick Adrian Peterson to a five-year, $40 million contract, ending Peterson's three-day holdout.

The report from Adam Schefter of NFL Network (via Pro Football Talk) says Peterson will be guaranteed $17 million, and that if he lasts all five years, his annual average of $8 million a year would make him the highest-paid running back in the league, topping the LaDainian Tomlinson's contract with the Chargers. By signing a five-year deal, Peterson will have a chance at free agency a year earlier than most top draft picks; most teams insist that top picks sign six-year contracts.

Chiefs running back Larry Johnson will no doubt look at the $17 million guaranteed for a running back who has so far proven nothing in the NFL as evidence that he deserves significantly more than the $14 million guaranteed that the Chiefs are said to be offering.

Now are we ready for some football?

Actually "macguitarman" posted the signing first in another thread about 3 minutes earlier than Singer in the "Adrian Peterson" thread. I wish it would have been a four year contract rather than 5.

Well, no matter who posted it first, the important thing is that AD is a Viking now.....




Maybe PPO should lose all the AD threads and just start a new OFFICAL AD Is a Viking Thread........





So we can all play nice.... ;D

As I said in other thread,

Can't wait to hear Paul Allen (PA) saying the following and quite often,

"and Peterson is loose, he's gone, Touchdown Vikings!!!"

macguitarman

FINALLY!!!!
I'm happy he didn'y miss too much time.

Let's hope now that our team survives TC this year without any season ending injuries
