Nobody wants Adrian Peterson
Peterson is newbie to free agency, this being his first time ever on the open market since being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings seventh overall in 2007.
As he turns 32 today, RB Adrian Peterson remains unsigned, looking for a new team.

He is 32 years old and looking to continue his career after tearing his MCL in Week 3 last year. In the past, Peterson has returned strong from injury. He also rushed for a league-high, 1,485 rushing yards in 2015 after serving nearly a year of suspension in 2014.
Clearly, Peterson has a knack for defying odds and rebounding from down seasons. But, will this the case for AP in 2017? He has a lot of mileage under his belt after averaging 265.9 touches and 1,369.2 yards per season.
This may be why teams are a bit leery to reach out. On the other hand, Peterson has not been shy about speaking up about where he would prefer to play in 2017. He also said he would like to play with an established quarterback.
Beggars cannot always be choosers, so we shall see what happens.
