Loser: Adrian Peterson still waiting for the phone to ring
Wednesday, we highlighted Peterson because all the rumors surrounding his potential landing spots kept getting stomped by the teams that were supposedly interested. We postulated at the time that all the rumors had been generated by Peterson’s people. That sentiment was one others shared as well.
On #Raiders and Adrian Peterson: Source said interest level is more on his end to join team than theirs.

Fast forward another day, and it seems we were right.

So far, no teams have been mentioned as possible landing spots for the running back since before free agency began. There just isn’t anything going on. Teams aren’t interested in bringing Peterson on board, at least not at this time.
And it’s hardly surprising. Despite his prolific career, he’s going to be 32 this year and is coming off a significant knee injury. Not only that, but it’s been reported he’s overvaluing his worth in a significant way, seeking upwards of double what teams might be willing to pay.
I bet Adrian Peterson is having an enlightening and humbling day.
