According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has indicated if Peterson isn’t back in Minnesota, it won’t be because the team releases him.

This comes on the heels of reports of numerous meetings between the Vikings and Peterson’s camp amid rumors that the former MVP wants out of Minnesota.
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly the first choice for Peterson, and the team has not denied interest in acquiring him through a trade.
