According to His Father, Adrian Peterson to Meet with Vikings Again

UPDATE (2:52 CST): Tomasson posted that a source close to Peterson clarified that there is no meeting scheduled with team officials, despite a claim earlier in the day by Peterson’s father.

According to Chris Tomasson, running back Adrian Peterson is planning another meeting with team officials by the end of this week. The report came from Peterson’s father, who said “nothing was resolved” through Monday’s discussion with the Wilfs and general manager Rick Spielman in New York.

On the other hand, it may not be happening. Per Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN, there’s no meeting:

Nelson Peterson has been rather vocal over the past several weeks about his son’s relationship with the Vikings and process moving forward. He said the following to the Pioneer Press:

“They will meet again. I’m not going to say who’s going to be at the meeting. I can’t comment on that.”

AP’s father added that Peterson has not asked for a trade.

Rumors have been circulating for weeks now regarding where Peterson will play next season, especially following statements he made in late February about being “uneasy” to remain in Minnesota. He missed 15 games last season.

“He is disgruntled because he does not believe some in the organization did enough last year to get him back on the field,” Tomasson said. “There remains a possibility he could be traded.”

“Everything remains the same,” Nelson Peterson said. “He still has options with returning, so the door hasn’t been closed.”

I’m sure that all comments from Peterson’s father should be taken with a grain of salt, but for now, the comments are adding more pieces to the puzzle as fans continue to wait and see how the Peterson saga plays out.
