Columnist Chip Scoggins and digital sports editor Michael Rand have very different opinions about what the Vikings should do with Adrian Peterson in the aftermath of his agent's latest comments.

Agent Ben Dogra told ESPN: "I don't think it's in Adrian's best interest to play in Minnesota. Why would it be?"

Dogra didn't elaborate on what he meant,

That caused Scoggins to write Tuesday morning:

It's clear that Peterson and his camp are floating his unhappiness at every opportunity because they want to create that fatigue. They want the Vikings to get to a point where they see no alternative but to trade him as soon as possible.

They're trying to back the Vikings into a corner to a point where the organization throws its hands up and says, "This situation is hopeless. Let's just move on."

The Vikings shouldn't budge UNLESS a team comes in and blows them away with a trade offer. That apparently hasn't happened yet so why rush into a bad deal?

The Vikings hold all the leverage in this situation. Peterson is under contract for the next few seasons. He's scheduled to make nearly $13 million this season.

Make him honor his contract for one more season.

Meanwhile, Rand described what Dogra said as a "gross arrogant position" and continued:

The Vikings, of course, need to play this correctly (as they have so far). They need to maintain a public stance that they intend to keep Peterson. Under no circumstance should they give him a raise or a new contract — not now, after the way this has unfolded. Under no circumstance should they release him. Giving him a raise sends the wrong message, and keeping him in any way creates a cloud over the entire 2015 season. Releasing him brings nothing in return.

What they should do, and what they probably are doing, is quietly shop him to the highest bidder in a trade. They don't need to be blown away by an offer. They just need to keep working until they get the best deal they can get.

And then they need to move on from one of the five greatest players to ever wear a Vikings uniform as fast as they can.
