Put yourself in Rick Spielman’s shoes for a minute.

Your franchise is building one of the league’s best stadiums, you’ve drafted a potential long-term quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater, and a playoff berth seems like a realistic goal in 2015. Optimism around the Vikings is higher than it has been in recent years — thanks for the memories, Christian — but a dark cloud hangs over Minnesota.

The storm has been brewing for months, bringing with it vicious rumors, allegations, and speculation. It’s cast its shadow over your team’s bright future, and the nasty weather doesn’t appear to be clearing anytime soon.

What are you going to do with Adrian Peterson?

We’ve disussed the options here at Vikings Territory, but now, it’s your turn to put on the “General Manager” hat.

Although a trade seems unlikely, you’re in control — do you want to give up the league’s best running back for draft picks or another star player? Do you want to keep Peterson in Minnesota and add another dynamic element to Norv Turner’s offense? Or, do you want to restructure the 30 year-old veteran’s contract and give him more guranteed money?

These are the decisions Rick Spielman and his front office will need to make sooon, but today, it’s your turn. Answer the poll below and share your opinions in the comments section.

Check back next Tuesday for a new “Poll of the Week”!:
