Mike Zimmer says Adrian Peterson will play for Vikings, or no one else
Mike Zimmer made it abundantly clear.
Disgruntled star running back Adrian Peterson will either play for the Minnesota Vikings or no one else.
"He's not going to play for anybody else," Zimmer said.
Peterson is skipping offseason workouts.
He told ESPN in a statement: "The reason I'm not attending OTA's has nothing to do with wanting to be traded. It's about securing my future with the Vikings. It's business, not personal and I understand that firsthand. Go Vikings."
Peterson is due $12.75 million this year, but likely wants guaranteed money.
Peterson's agent, Ben Dogra, has attempted to get the Vikings to trade him to no avail.
Peterson has been angry about his perceived lack of support on behalf of the Vikings during Peterson's child abuse case.
"He's missed a lot of OTAs over the course of his career, I'm not worried about it," Zimmer said. "I've got 89 guys out here that I'm coaching to try and get better."
Zimmer said he hasn't spoken with Peterson.
"I don't know when he's coming," Zimmer said. "We'll just leave it at that."
