    Report: Adrian Peterson Will Not Report to Vikings' OTAs

    Saga may not be over yet.

    The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports Adrian Peterson will be a no-show for the start of Vikings Organized Team Activities (OTAs).

    The Pio Press cites a "source" that is likely Peterson's agent. Peterson's concern with the Vikings has long been their perceived lack of loyalty toward him during last year's investigation for child abuse. Still, the draft came and went without a Peterson trade, which showed loyalty on the Vikings' behalf. If Peterson indeed skips OTAs, he will forfeit a $250,000 workout bonus. The Vikings hold a series of OTAs on June 2-4 and 8-11, and a mandatory minicamp on June 16-18.

    You would think a child beater would try his best to keep the spotlight off of him.

    Adrian Peterson's agent hinted at a holdout in a Monday text message to Bleacher Report's Jason Cole.

    "He is very very strong," Peterson's agent said. "He's like (Darrelle) Revis." Revis, of course, has become famous for winning contractual showdowns. Peterson seems to believe the Vikings committed an unforgivable sin by siding too closely with the NFL as his child-abuse scandal unfolded last fall. To date, the Vikings have been steadfast that AD will be in Minnesota this season. Peterson won't really be turning up the heat until he skips next month's minicamp and training camp.

    I would seriously let him hold out all he wants and miss another season. Nobody in his situation should have any leverage in trade negotiations. Dude beats one of his many kids who he rarely sees and prob doesnt even realize who his father is and now he thinks hes in control. penetrate him, he isnt getting any younger.

    Only fathers who actually plan on being around and being father figures should have the right to dicipline their kids.

    He and his agent are acting like idiots but as long as Jerry has control of his checkbook he may get moved and paid quite well.

    It would require a Herschel Walker type trade with the teams reversed. Even Jerry knows better than that.

    Peterson will become a Boy and every Cowboy fan that hated on him for disciplining his kid will suddenly embrace him.

    He won't go to Dallas, Cowboys are not going to pay AP money for a running back.

    Discipline by switch is not frowned on by many living in the South

    Zimmer is a good "players" coach too. Says a lot when Zimmer feels forced to take a hard line like that.

    It's always something with this guy!

    According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Adrian Peterson's beef with the Vikings is now that he wants guaranteed money in 2016.

    Peterson doesn't have any guaranteed money in his current deal. He wants the team to guarantee a chunk -- or perhaps all ($14.75 million) -- of his 2016 salary, when Peterson will be 31 years old. After paying Peterson his entire salary to play just one game in 2014, it wouldn't be surprising if the Vikings were a bit resistant to making him this commitment.

    Peterson's going to be flat broke in about five years so I guess he needs all the money you can get his hands on
