Report: Peterson, Redskins talking contract

The Washington Redskins and running back Adrian Peterson have held preliminary talks about his return to the team next season, ESPN reported Tuesday. Peterson told TMZ Sports last week that he would be "playing next year for sure" and wanted to play two to three more seasons.

The 12-year veteran will turn 34 next month. He signed a one year-deal with Washington last August after rookie running back Derrius Guice tore an ACL and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month. Peterson rushed for 1,042 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and scored seven touchdowns in 2018. It was his first 1,000-yard season since 2015 with the Minnesota Vikings.

He has 13,318 career yards, good for eighth on the career rushing list. --Field Level Media
