The Minnesota Vikings have reached agreement on a new contract with Adrian Peterson that could keep the running back in Minnesota for the rest of his career.
Peterson is signing a seven-year, $100 million deal with $36 million guaranteed, a league source tells PFT’s Mike Florio.
The contract means there’s a good chance that the 26-year-old Peterson will retire a Viking.
Peterson’s deal is the biggest to date for a running back, topping both the five-year, $43 million deal with $21 million guaranteed for DeAngelo Williams of the Panthers and the four-year, $53.5 million contract extension, with $30 million guaranteed, received by Chris Johnson of the Titans.
