Adrian Peterson remains unemployed, spurring reports of his demands and predictions for his future.

Late Friday night, though, the free agent running back tried to set the record straight on Twitter: It’s “not all about the money” and he is in “no rush” to sign anywhere.

 
“Finding the best fit & helping a team in a major way win a championship is my main objective!” the former Minnesota Vikings running back tweeted. “I’m in no rush."

ESPN reported on Friday that Peterson is seeking $8 million for the 2017 season. Minnesota signed 27-year-old Latavius Murray to replace him, and he will average $5 million over the next three years.

Peterson, 32, missed 13 games last season after undergoing knee surgery. He had 72 yards rushing on 37 carries.

“It’s not all about the money as EVERYONE is speculating here lately,” Peterson tweeted. “You’d THINK these analysts spoke to me directly. When you don’t know what’s going on people will say anything to create or make a story! How prideful is it for me to put out … I won’t play for anything less than 8 million!”

So fun to keep an eye on this.

Gotta agree, LPS. Makes me a little on what it will take to get him on the field again & where? I don't believe he won't play for somebody, just because he wants to & thinks he has something to prove to the rest of the league

Pretty sure he's done,put a fork in him,two major surgeries,has plenty of $$$ I would think by now,but who knows with 7 kids and 5 mothers maybe they have his feet to the fire for more cash?!?! He has'nt been the same since his season suspension a couple years ago.Call it good AP,is your health worth another injury? You had a good run.
