Washington to release RB Adrian Peterson
Bummer! And surprising, to me at least. I know they have some other guys but I didn't think any of them were world-beaters. Hope he can catch on somewhere as a backup at least.
This may be the end of the road for AD. If so I hope he signs a 1 day contract so he can retire a VIK.
Hmmmm....
Bears need a RB. Not sure AD has enough $ in the bank anymore.
1st ballot HOF. I'd say we should we sign him so he could retire a Viking, but I doubt he's ready to retire. And so the Antonio Gibson era begins in Washington.
He really is determined to go after that Smith record isn't he?
Agreed, he is a 1st ballot HOF. I remember the day we drafted him as clearly as the day we drafted Moss.
Talk about a dopamine rush...

Wasn't he close to 'broke' again last year. He needs to keep running. :/

@"Nichelle" said:Yeah especially since he has made close to 100 million in his career.@"Vikergirl" said:Ouch.@"Nichelle" said: Wasn't he close to 'broke' again last year. He needs to keep running. :/ Last I saw his net worth was -4 million.

He's had to revert to miniature Donkeys.
You know whats funny about this though? I can rent a camel for my kids birthday for next to nothing. We have a local farm that runs a petting zoo. We looked into hiring them for a customer event. I want to say it was less then $1k maybe even less then $500 for the whole shebang, camel included. I was surprised at how little they got.
@"Vikergirl" said:$4M isn't much by NFL standards but at 4% thats still $160k a year. $13k a month. I think I could figure out how to live quite comfortably on that. You'd think he still gets royalties for his likeness as well...though beating your kid probably didn't help that much.@"Nichelle" said: Wasn't he close to 'broke' again last year.

It's negative 4 million so he is in the hole. I could definitely live on 4 million though.

Well i hope not because then your house would be worth at least $4MM less than the amount of debt you have on it. I read he got screwed over on some investments...seems way too common in professional sports. He isn't that great of a speaker so I dont know if he lands anything great post nfl but I could be wrong
