Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman squashed once and for all (hopefully) the questions about whether the Vikings will trade Adrian Peterson when asked about it a few moments ago.
Asked if they were trying to move Peterson, he said, "No. Not at all. Nothing has changed with Adrian. End of story."
When asked if anyone had called him about Peterson, Spielman snapped, "I'm not getting into who called or not. Adrian Peterson is under contract as a Minnesota Viking. End of story."
As for trading back into the first round for the third time in four years, Spielman also shot that down after staying at No. 11 and selecting Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes.
"I don't think we'll be able to," Spielman said. "We don't have enough currency, I guess is the best way to put it, to get back into the first round. If I had made a trade down [from No. 11]. I was looking to see what the value was and to see if that would give us more to get back into the first. But when the value wasn't there and you knew that even with what they were offering, you weren't going to be able to get back into the first, then I didn't think it was the right thing to do."
