The practical Vikings fan might think, "If Adrian Peterson has one or two more good-to-great years left in him, it sure would be nice if they were in purple instead of another uniform." With Teddy Bridgewater on a rookie contract, the Vikings aren't paying their QB much and could afford to keep a running back with a high cap number.

But this might be a relationship damaged beyond repair on both sides, with Peterson's recent actions giving the Vikings the "out" they quite possibly wanted anyway. It might make trading him a little harder, but it could make their decision even easier.

Tweet and learn ESPN took Keith Olbermann off the air for the rest of the week after a series of tweets critical of Penn State.
