Vikings | Peterson to earn additional $11.5 million in salary
Tue, 30 Dec 2008 09:26:07 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson could trigger a $250,000 incentive in his contract Friday, Jan. 2, if he is named the NFL's MVP. Peterson signed a five-year contract before last season, and factored into the deal were numerous escalators and incentives that could push the total value of the contract to $40.5 million. Peterson's immediate success has triggered close to $11.5 million in escalators at the back end of his deal. Some of the bonuses include a $3.9 million escalator for the 2011 season for topping 701 rushing yards as a rookie, a $2.5 million bonus to his 2010 salary by rushing for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, and he added $1 million to his 2011 compensation by rushing for more than 1,300 yards this season. The $250,000 MVP incentive can be earned multiple times, with each instance tacked on to his 2011 compensation. Peterson can earn $250,000 for each time he wins Super Bowl MVP honors, while he has yet to achieve a $1 million bonus for scoring 20 touchdowns or rushing for 2,000 yards in a regular season.

No surprises on the Vikings side.
Runyan not practicing surprised me, but I suspect he will still play.
He has been playing with a bum knee since the Cleveland game, and I am assuming he is just resting it before the game.
