Adrian Peterson wouldn’t mind playing for these five teams.

This NFL offseason, Adrian Peterson has probably been the most talked about player in the league. After sitting out 15 games this past season because of a suspension, Peterson will more than likely be back for the 2015 season and even though that will probably be the case, he may not be a member of the Minnesota Vikings. Peterson is one of the best running backs in the league and it has been reported that he’d be willing to play for these five teams.

According to Yahoo Sports, Peterson is willing to restructure his contract in order to be traded. If that does happen, Peterson would be willing to play for the Dallas Cowboys, the Arizona Cardinals, the Indianapolis Colts, the San Francisco 49ers, San Diego Chargers, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Peterson and his agent Ben Dogra are upset with the way the Vikings have treated him. That being said, it comes as no surprise that Peterson wants out of Minnesota and wants a fresh start with one of these five teams.

It’s been a known fact for a while that the Cowboys and Peterson have mutual interest in each other. Before the season, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones had a conversation with Peterson. In that conversation, Peterson informed Jones that he would like to finish his career as a member of the Cowboys. With the Cowboys letting their running back DeMarco Murray test free agency, it’s starting to look like the Cowboys could in fact bring in Peterson.

When the 2015 season rolls around, Peterson will be 30 years old. Considering he’s not that old, many teams are going to be interested in the prospects of bringing in a guy who is just two years removed from an MVP season where ran for over 2,000 yards.

At the end of the day, the Vikings will have the final say on whether Peterson will play for them or another team this season. If Peterson does in fact come back to Minnesota and play for them in 2015, he is scheduled to make $12.75 million, however, given the fact that he clearly wants out, Peterson is likely to play for another team next season. With free agency less than a week away, Peterson will definitely be a player to monitor.
