This is a really weird move. Pete is grabbing on straws. Don't they have a young player they could evaluate given their season is all but done?

Adrian Peterson is 36 years old. Why anyone would sign him over anything on the roster with a pulse that has any kind of upside is a mystery. Major kudos to Peterson for even getting signed anywhere at that age, but cmon now.
370 yards would move him past Barry Sanders on the career yardage list. 2 TDs would move him past Jim Brown and Walter Payton on the combined rushing and receiving TD list. He's got some goals close in front of him.
I read that AP needs 98 yards to reach 15K and yeah like @medaille said he could maaaaybe reach Sanders. I'd like to see him do both.
For Seattle yeah, idk. Their RB room has been crushed with injuries and the guys they have no are banged up and not producing. Does seem weird they'd sign AP rather than trying to poach a practice squad guy or something considering their record and playoff (non)prospects.
Nelson Peterson on #Vikings not reaching out to son Adrian Peterson after Dalvin Cook hurt & bringing in ex-Lions RB Karryon Johnson for workout “That’s disappointing to me He never heard anything from the Vikings & you go in & bring in a guy Adrian beat out in Detroit (in 2020)"
