That is a hell of a lot of dough for a RB. Glad to see him locked up though.

Its about time.

LOL @ Marrdro. They all knew what they were doing. Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening. You crack me up my friend

He will retire a Viking. I was pretty damn happy when I saw this on NFL.com today. Like boner inducing happy.

Zygi Wilf was 'true to his word' about contract, Adrian Peterson says

Adrian Peterson didn't know until Saturday morning his long-term contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings was complete. But a promise owner Zygi Wilf made to him and linebacker Chad Greenway last November always stuck in the back of Peterson's mind as talks progressed behind the scenes. "I ran into (Wilf) in the locker room," Peterson recalled on Saturday afternoon, hours after signing a seven-year deal that reportedly is worth up to $100 million. "We were kind of going back and forth and he said, `Adrian, I just want you to know -- and he told Chad the same thing because he was right there -- he said, `I want to make sure you guys are going to remain Vikings for your careers.' "He stayed true to that (Saturday). He stayed true to his word."

Living in the Chicago area, and hearing about all the crap going on between the Bears and Forte (not to mention Lance Briggs), I can tell you, publicity like this can do wonders for the Vikes.

Great news! No go set a new record against those Chargers

**Freya** · 09-11-2011, 06:54 AM

Good news. Now Adrian..........go out there and earn it.

I wonder how the deal impacts the cap for this year and how it is going to shape what we can do in the next 5 with other players and still remain under the cap. It will be interesting to see.

I hope that one guy in Tennessee is throwing a temper tantrum right now lol.
