Adrian Peterson apparently has very little interest in returning to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2015 season, as a new report from Yahoo’s Charles Robinson confirms.
#NFL source: #Vikings GM Rick Spielman requested dinner meeting w/ Adrian Peterson's agent at owner's meetings. It was rejected. Not good.

Those meetings, which bring together all the NFL’s top decision-makers, will be held in Phoenix next week.
A report Thursday from USA Today sports writer Tom Pelissero said the Vikings will not release the 29-year-old RB, who is under contract through 2017. That essentially means the only way the eight-year veteran can get out of Minnesota is through a trade.
Peterson, a six-time Pro Bowler, missed all but one game of the 2014 season as he waited for a child abuse case to be resolved.
